In our case, an awful lot of barking! Our poor Mistress has sat us all down and asked for just a little bit of cooperation. She has said that she is working, but I really think she might be mistaken. I can\u2019t hear myself think for all the noise, so I don\u2019t see why she should be any different. Yesterday she resorted to long walks for Ari and Shadow to settle them down and goody four paws Wilma hasn\u2019t been a problem after our Mistress explained to her what was going on. Shadow had to have her chair by the window moved as she was getting so animated she was going to fall off it again and was risking getting hurt. Ari was pretty good once he was given somewhere quiet and out of the way. I\u2019m ashamed to say that I was the one who was the most noisy. You know what I\u2019ve become like. I just don\u2019t like anything which disturbs my quiet and calm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma and our Mistress were having some fun the other day playing together and taking selfies. Wilma has this lovely way of pushing her ears right back when she is really happy being stroked. I\u2019ve tried getting my ears in that position but they just aren\u2019t built the same as Wilma\u2019s. Mine don\u2019t seem to have as much expression in them. Maybe I should have practised when I was younger, but I think it\u2019s more to with the fact that I have more cartilage in my ears and they just don\u2019t bend the way that Wilma\u2019s do. Mind you, as photos go that was rather more flattering than the one our Mistress took of Wilma in bed!<\/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>What do you get if you have builders knocking mortar out with a large hammer and a decorator painting the windows?
