And if truth be known I\u2019m becoming a little jealous of Wilma. First off she still has a bone and she won\u2019t share it with me. If I go off with it, she goes running to our Mistress and tells on me \u2013 and I\u2019m not kidding either! Ok, so I know we had bones at the same time, but can I help the fact I chomped my way through mine and there\u2019s none left? Secondly she gets a filled bone in a morning and I want one. Ok, I get a chew and she doesn\u2019t but I want a filled bone as well. Then there are the training treats. She gets the ones that smell like smoky bacon and I want them. I was offered some others on our walk. Oh I came when called the first time and the second. I even ran to our Mistress the third time, but I looked at the treat I was being offered, looked at our Mistress in disappointment and just walked away. If she wants me to do obedience training she is going to have to up the stakes to the smoky bacon treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-11417\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_2828-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Fleur and Wilma playing when they should have been learning Ringcraft!\" class=\"wp-image-11417\"\/><figcaption>Fleur and Wilma playing when they should have been learning Ringcraft!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we get to the real gripe. Wilma is going out with our Mistress to training classes several nights a week. She comes back full of tales of the things they\u2019ve done together and of which dogs are her best friends. She comes back excited because of all the praise she\u2019s had and telling me what her plans are and I\u2019m jealous. I want to have doggy best friends. To be honest, I thought that was what Wilma was going to be \u2013 my best friend, but she\u2019s got Fleur and Jazz and Monty and I\u2019m feeling left out. I thought maybe I should talk to her about it but I don\u2019t really know where to start.<\/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>Morning everyone, it\u2019s Ari here again.
