Oh I had such an exciting day yesterday. I had a Skype call with my nephews in Switzerland and my mamma and sister. I tried sniffing them on the screen, but oddly their scent didn\u2019t come through. I licked the screen a bit, which meant Mum had to clean it afterwards. It was so lovely to see them. We had a good chat. I did try looking behind the screen to see if they were there, but I couldn\u2019t find them. I do find this modern technology odd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today is Mum\u2019s birthday and she says what she\u2019d really like is for the two of us to go out for the day, but of course she also wants to spend the time with the rest of the family too. We\u2019re going out for cake this afternoon and as long as the weather is ok, so we can sit outside, I shall be going too. I\u2019m not allowed inside in the caf\u00e9 so I\u2019m crossing my paws that the weather will be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3776.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3776-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3776\" class=\"wp-image-12085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3776-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/IMG_3776.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I had a great play with Dad the other day. He\u2019s happy to play rough and tumble in a way that Mum won\u2019t. He was impressed though, because when I started to get too excited Mum said, \u2018Enough\u2019 and I knew to stop. He says none of the rest of the family seem to understand that command. Then I showed him some of the other commands I know, like letting my ears be examined and opening my mouth so my teeth can be seen. I told him that Mum has switched to training me with little pieces of cheese and, if I\u2019m being honest, I\u2019ll do pretty much anything when there\u2019s cheese on offer. Of course, I\u2019m happiest if it is Swiss cheese, but I\u2019ll settle for English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a good week<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love Wilma<\/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>Happy Monday everyone, it\u2019s Wilma here.
