I pointed out that almost every day is about her. Anyway, we\u2019ve been laughing at the naughty things we did so she\u2019s asked for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3392.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3392-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3392\" class=\"wp-image-11740\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma has started to dig in the garden. She\u2019s been eating the grass for a while, but now she seems to be turning into a full blown digger. She\u2019s clever though and only digs when we can\u2019t see her. Which makes it very hard to tell her off and teach her not to do it. Chasing the birds is an altogether different matter. She and Shadow seem to have an inbuilt need to do that, now our Mistress just needs to work out how to teach her not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, so I\u2019m struggling here. Wilma is about as close to perfect as you can get. She likes her food\u2026 and everybody else\u2019s. She\u2019s too clever by half and knows how to open a door, open a dog gate, dismantle a crate, jump over a gate and generally make sure she can be wherever it was she wanted to be, but that\u2019s a skill to admire rather that to criticise her for. If the world were filled with dogs like Wilma it would be all the better for it. She was called Wild Wilma when she was little, but she\u2019s everything but wild. She\u2019s fearless that much is certain, but I need that to help counter my concern about everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well Wilma, I hope you\u2019re happy with what I found to say about you. If you want me to tell about the naughty things, like Shadow eating a book and wrecking the settee, you\u2019re going to have to try harder! Now I\u2019m tempting fate!<\/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 has complained that we\u2019ve all talked about what we were doing when we were ten months old but no one has talked about her. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2016\/06\/02\/thursday-2nd-june-2016-wilma-at-10-months\/\" title=\"Thursday 2nd June 2016 &#8211; Wilma at 10 months\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,61,5],"tags":[109,27,93],"class_list":["post-11771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-training","category-wisdom-and-experience","tag-alfie","tag-shadow","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
