Over the weekend I\u2019d had a couple of lovely walks, one of which I insisted on doing at a run, much to our Mistress\u2019s surprise \u2013 not least because she had a job to keep up! She said in all my years that\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve wanted to run everywhere since I was a puppy and to be fair I didn\u2019t tend to run everywhere then either. I don\u2019t know what came over me. I think it was a scent that I\u2019d picked up. I tried to find it again yesterday, but sadly that was not to be so I made do with a short walk and came home to give Wilma a good sniff instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma had a very quiet day yesterday. She says all the hormonal stuff has really tired her out and she needs to put her paws up. Our Mistress said she had better not be thinking about a phantom pregnancy as that was all we needed. She didn\u2019t say that to Wilma as she didn\u2019t want to go giving her ideas. Her aunt Megan had one once and was quite convinced she was pregnant. The sad thing on that occasion was that she was supposed to be, so we were all quite sad with her when we found she wasn\u2019t, but in the meantime she\u2019d got away with an awful lot of pampering!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow is really sad as Andy has gone back to his mum\u2019s so she is missing her constant companion. While he\u2019s here she sleeps in his room and spends all day sitting by his side. She howled last night because she was missing him. It\u2019s a good job she\u2019s going off on her holidays later this week as it will help to take her mind off things.<\/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>Yesterday was a real spring day and we all enjoyed more time outside in the garden.
