Horsie is dead. To be fair she was partly responsible and I think that may be why she is feeling so bad. She and Alfie got carried away and played tug with Horsie and his nose was ripped from his body. How many times has out Mistress told them not to play tug with Horsie and it would all end in tears? Now it has, and it was our Mistress who was in tears. She had found it so sweet that Wilma would always get Horsie out first and sleep cuddled up to him. She has promised to try to do a repair job, but he\u2019s never going to be the same and, let\u2019s be honest, he\u2019s not going to look much like a horse anymore. Alfie and I have offered to put our pocket money together and buy her a new one, Wilma that is, not our Mistress. We\u2019ll see how his surgery goes first and whether he comes round from the anaesthetic, or ends up at the big toy graveyard in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today is our Fun Day. It\u2019s not going to be quite so much fun for me as I\u2019m not going. \u2018You stay home and look after Alfie please, Ari.\u2019 Yeah, yeah, I know. It\u2019s not as though it\u2019s going to be much fun here. Alfie doesn\u2019t like having me around. Oh so the girls behave better and are easier to get to be quiet when needs me, but I can be good, really I can. It\u2019s not actually because I\u2019m not good that I don\u2019t get to go. It\u2019s my poorly elbows. I hate not being able to take part in everything, but if I do I come home limping which is no fun. I might have wanted to eat a man I didn\u2019t like one time, but that\u2019s water under the bridge at least as far as I\u2019m concerned. Anyway, I\u2019m sure Wilma will tell you all about it tomorrow.<\/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>Wilma is beside herself.
