Hello, I\u2019m back. I\u2019m so glad you missed me and thank you all for the get well wishes. I don\u2019t mind admitting for a while there I was feeling pretty rough, but thankfully our Mistress took good care of me and I\u2019m on the road to recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may remember me telling you all about our crow problem and the fact that our Mistress thought she\u2019d found the perfect solution in a rather nice life size owl ornament. I can honestly say that since we\u2019ve had the Owl the crow has not been back. Now for the irony – The owl is still sitting on the kitchen worktop, next to the toaster and nowhere near the porch roof where it is intended to go. Now, whether the crow has been reading my diary and reached the conclusion that one way or another it is beaten, I don\u2019t know, but the credit most certainly cannot be given to the owl. I think now our Mistress will wait to put the owl up if the crow comes back, but there is really only so long it should be sitting next to the toaster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought you might like to see a little video of Wilma and Shadow playing together. Their play is vigorous to put it mildly and one of these days they are going to send something flying, but they were enjoying themselves which is the main thing. You can see it HERE<\/a>. It\u2019s funny the way they play is different to the way Wilma plays with Aristotle or with me for that matter. With me it\u2019s just the occasional gentle game of tug. With Ari it is rough and tumble gone mad. She and Shadow are much more evenly matched though and both seem<\/p>\n\n\n\n to rather enjoy it. I\u2019ve included a still picture too for those of you who don\u2019t want to watch the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find short stories to read at www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"Wilma](\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/IMG_2729-300x225.jpg\")
