I of course pointed a paw at Shadow and said \u2018She\u2019s been rolling in them too.\u2019 Sadly, she must have missed the best bits as apparently she does not \u2018have an odour that enters the room five minutes before her\u2019! Ah well. I\u2019ll be looking out for good fox poo to see if I can get back to normal soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn\u2019t feel like going for much of a walk. I think I\u2019ve been overdoing it a bit recently and probably need to be less enthusiastic in my approach to life. I think our Mistress is going to get me alternating with Alfie on the swimming for a while to build my muscles back up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3757.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3757-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"That was my chew!\" class=\"wp-image-12035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3757-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3757-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3757-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3757.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>That was my chew!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma is becoming more like Shadow and not in a good way. They are both obsessed by chews. Shadow won\u2019t share her chews with either me or Alfie and now it seems Wilma isn\u2019t going to let me have any either. There was one lying around on the side that our Mistress said I could have as a special treat for being so good in the shower. Wilma just looked at me and smiled. My shoulders dropped. I know when I\u2019m beaten. To be fair I did get peace and quiet while she was chewing it, but I did miss the satisfaction of having it for my own.
