It\u2019s such as shame as Wilma was really excited about it too. I\u2019m sure they will get to see her soon, but you know what it\u2019s like when you\u2019ve built your hopes up.<\/p>\n<p>On a brighter note I\u2019m really happy to report that my wind seems to have improved and my tummy is nearly normal again. It\u2019s a good job as even I was getting fed up of being in the same room as my rear end! It also means I\u2019m allowed back in the lounge and I\u2019ve really missed the chance to cuddle up in an evening. Of course, in between cuddling up I do tend to cause mayhem and distraction, but that\u2019s what a dog is for. It wouldn\u2019t be so bad but our Mistress has been trying to concentrate really hard on the knitting she is trying to do. She is still on the samples she has to do before starting on the jumper but so far, except for the times I\u2019ve tried to help, she\u2019s quite pleased with progress.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11291\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11291\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0552.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11291\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11291\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_0552-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Shadow and her new harness\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shadow and her new harness<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Shadow has been showing off her new harness. It\u2019s quite different to the rest of ours and she\u2019s pleased with it. It is not quite as padded as ours are, but it comes further back behind her legs when going under her chest and that has made the world of difference for her. She has a fatty lump on her chest that was getting quite sore from her old harness. Except for the fact that her old one is pretty worn, she\u2019s told Wilma that when she grows out of her current one she may use it. Whilst that\u2019s very kind of her, the way Wilma is growing I\u2019m not sure that even Shadow\u2019s will be big enough for her when she has finished growing.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to get your entries in if you want the chance to win a Pet Mirror \u2013 the details are HERE<\/p>\n<p>Have a great Sunday<\/p>\n<p>Aristotle<\/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>Shadow thought she was going to see my sister Cinders this weekend, but Cinders\u2019 season has started so she\u2019s not feeling so sociable.
