Our Mistress is trying some aromatherapy with him that is supposed to help keep him calm. He\u2019s got a lavender and mint spray that goes on his coat and our Mistress has said that when the lavender flowers this year she will bring some inside for him. She says she will have some in the office and some in the kitchen. Fortunately, they are smells she is not allergic to and although I\u2019ve teased him he does smell quite nice. I wondered about offering to try some in my coat but I\u2019ll wait and see how he gets on with it first. I don\u2019t want to rush into something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow has asked if her rosette can be put up somewhere. She says she doesn\u2019t suppose she\u2019ll every win something like that again and it certainly shows our Master that she can do it when she tries. Wilma said maybe her rosette from puppy classes could go up too. It\u2019s good job that I am not lacking in self-confidence else I\u2019d be feeling a little uncomfortable about all their success. As it is, I really am pleased for them and not just a little bit happy that I haven\u2019t got to go through it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma and our Mistress have cheered up a little. They have talked to one or two people who have said to give Wilma more time to grow and see what happens. She says she\u2019ll try really hard to grow in the right order, but out Mistress has said to her that whatever happens she will be the most perfect little girl in her eyes and they will have lots of fun together no matter what. If things go to plan she\u2019s going to start working towards passing her pets as therapy test next month and then start to spread some Wilma joy to lots of people who need it most. We all think she\u2019ll be rather good at that.<\/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>Alfie smells like a girl.
