Alfie has got gastroenteritis and is feeling very under the weather. Of course, he\u2019s blaming me for it as I was ill last week, but I pointed out to him I wasn\u2019t sick at all, just the other end and even that wasn\u2019t as bad as he is. I\u2019m having to sit in the other room as apparently it\u2019s not ok to keep annoying him when he feels that unwell. I said he could be somewhere else, but as he keeps needing to go out in great haste that\u2019s not entirely practical. Wilma is having the sense to leave him alone. Partly it\u2019s because she is a goody four-paws and partly as she said herself she doesn\u2019t want to catch anything.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11305\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11305\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2682.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11305\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11305\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2682-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Wilma looking tired\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11305\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wilma looking tired<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>She came swimming with me yesterday, which was fun. I was trying to show off as you can imagine. Then I sat in the car while Wilma went into the pet shop with our Mistress. She loved it. There were lots of people to say hello to and she said she really liked looking at the rabbits too. She chose some new training treats to take with her to class last night. Our Mistress said she could have them on condition they would make her do everything she was told. You know what it\u2019s like, you promise the world when you want something, but that doesn\u2019t mean you follow it up with what was expected. Except this is Wilma we are talking about, so she did follow it up. She loves learning and loves doing what our Mistress wants her to. She says it makes sense as she\u2019s already finding that means she gets to go to lots more nice places. She\u2019s going to Switzerland for a few days in April so I suppose she has a point. I still can\u2019t bring myself to be good in the hope of some future gain, though. I\u2019m more of a \u2018show me the treat now\u2019 kind of dog.<\/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 me, Aristotle again.
