It\u2019s Aristotle here while Alfie has the weekend to put his paws up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Mistress wants to be left in peace and quiet to write. That\u2019s ok by us, we just sit with her when it\u2019s like that and enjoy the times in between when she takes us for walks. However, our Master is flat on his back in bed because his lumbago has kicked in. He couldn\u2019t get out of the car when he got home yesterday so when he did went to lie down. That means that on top of the washing from them all being away, our Mistress is running upstairs to get the things he needs. Then the computer in the other room needed fixing so she had to go and do that. For some reason the humans wanted feeding. She finally gave in and went to do the cooking when she couldn\u2019t stand being asked what time tea would be, one more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It wasn\u2019t long before she was ready to scream at them \u2018All I want to do is write.\u2019 I don\u2019t think they\u2019d have paid a lot of attention if she had. On the other paw, she did get home without the car giving up and was very grateful for that, so I guess she can\u2019t have everything. I did offer to run round after our Master, but, probably rightly, he doesn\u2019t want jumping on, so I\u2019m not the best dog for the job. Even after a week away from us our Mistress\u2019s bruises haven\u2019t completely disappeared and just for good measure we\u2019ve given her some new ones to make sure she is clearly marked as ours. It\u2019s sort of our way of stamping her with our pawprint to show ownership\u2026except it might be more of a claw mark\u2026and suggests more pain than ownership.<\/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>Hello everyone, I\u2019m back.
