Shadow is going to be a granny. Aida who mated with Basil had her scan yesterday and she\u2019s pregnant. It will be Shadow\u2019s first grandchildren and she\u2019s really very excited about it. Aida\u2019s human lived quite near us so Shadow is hoping to get chance to see her grandchildren and I think that one is likely to stay at home with Aida so will grow up locally.<\/p>\n<p>Oh dear, Wilma is in her element. The farmers are muck spreading in the fields around where we go for our walks and as they fill the spreaders some sticks to the wheels and then is distributed along all the pathways. Wilma thinks it\u2019s fantastic. Every few metres when she\u2019s walking she can stop to try to eat some. Our Mistress can be heard shouting \u2018leave it\u2019 at regular intervals, but she\u2019s wasting her breath. Wilma makes a showing of leaving a little and then picks another bigger bit up and chomps on it before our Mistress can do anything about it!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11429\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11429\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11429 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_2897-e1684503798386-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Wilma sleeping upside down\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11429\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wilma sleeping upside down<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We\u2019d all worn ourselves out at the weekend while our Master and Mistress were away and so yesterday was very quiet. Ari slept most of the day, as did I. Shadow is really enjoying having our Master at home so she\u2019s been looking after him, which has just left Wilma to entertain herself. In fairness as long as she can see our Mistress she is very good at that. She likes to have our Mistress fully in her line of sight though and if truth be told I think our Mistress feels much the same way. In between that Wilma spent part of the day sleeping somewhat upside down. I\u2019m sure she could not have been comfortable in this position!<\/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>I\u2019m going to start with the most exciting news first.
