We\u2019re back to normal with Alfie taking the weekend off. I\u2019m non-plussed. What is it about me and girls? They\u2019ve always gone for me, I mean in a good way, but I have no idea why. Ok so everyone tells me I\u2019m a handsome dude, but that\u2019s humans for you and I\u2019m talking about dogs. I don\u2019t want you to think I\u2019m complaining, or that I don\u2019t like it. It\u2019s just a bit confusing to have all the girls think I\u2019m something special when I\u2019m just trying to go about my business.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11186\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11186\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2561.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11186\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11186\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2561-300x228.jpg\" alt=\"Wilma the mud monster\" width=\"300\" height=\"228\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11186\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wilma the mud monster<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To be fair, being idolised by Wilma is hard going. She shows it in ways that are not always helpful. She shares her mud with me when we go walking together, and that\u2019s something I can well do without. The bit our Mistress is not appreciating is when we play together. When Wilma plays with Alfie nothing seems to go wrong. When she plays with me, sometimes she gets so excited that she wets herself. She has a tendency to pee as she walks, which until now I thought was a boy thing, but that just distributes the problem around. We\u2019re only allowed to play now straight after Wilma has been out to the toilet and then not for too long. The last straw came when our Mistress was trying to get ready to go out and Wilma peed on the settee that our Mistress had just washed the cover from. It\u2019s funny too because we play different games than she plays with Alfie. With Alfie it is almost always tug. With me it is wrestling. She\u2019s tried challenging me to mud wrestling but I\u2019ve told her I\u2019m not up for that as I don\u2019t like getting dirty. Where Wilma\u2019s concerned mud is just an everyday thing.<\/p>\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\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>It\u2019s Aristotle here.
