Our Mistress has promised me a replacement filling in my bone as I let Wilma have a lot of it yesterday.

Anyway, it turned out she was just as happy with the roll from the inside of the kitchen foil as she was with her reindeer, so she was easily pleased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Mistress was delighted with the ring from me and my Master. I\u2019ll show you those photos another day. She was also pleased with the earrings that Wilma bought her and the other little presents Wilma had chosen. Shadow and Aristotle are spending a couple of days in the peace and quiet of the kennels as we have visitors at the moment and it can all get a bit much. It\u2019s<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a shame as James will be here today and he was originally Shadow\u2019s human when she came to live her. She is going to be so upset that we have seen him and she hasn\u2019t . It\u2019s no good trying to hide the fact either as she will be able to smell that he has been here and I just know she\u2019s going to be looking everywhere for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma was delighted to hear from her mother yesterday. Afterwards she was a bit quiet and said she still missed her. I can understand that. I still miss my Mum and I left home nearly ten years ago. At least Aristotle is spending Christmas with his mum even though Shadow hasn\u2019t had any contact with either of her parents since she left home at 8 weeks old. Sometimes it\u2019s hard being a dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>As if yesterday was not enough excitement we\u2019ve got my Master\u2019s birthday today.
