I have to say that so far I seem to be doing quite well out of the week\u2019s events. We had steak last night. Our Mistress thought Wilma needed cheering up so she bought an extra steak for the four of us to share. She\u2019s asked me not to mention it to our Master, but you know how hard I find it to keep a secret. He was away last night and I just know when he comes in that instead of saying \u2018Hello\u2019 I\u2019m just going to blurt out \u2018we had steak\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3879.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3879-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"img_3879\" class=\"wp-image-12285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3879-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3879-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3879-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_3879.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The main events of yesterday were that now Alfie is completely better, even down to having mad zoomies around the garden, our Mistress is trying to get him back to coping with me being around more. I\u2019ve been very patient but having to keep out of the way does wear thin after a while. Anyway, I had a good romp with Wilma and then sat and shared her chew. Just knowing I was around was enough for Alfie to whine most of the time, but he\u2019s going to have to get over it. I really like the new bed settee in the office. I think I look quite regal sitting on it. As you can see from the sharing of the chew, we\u2019ve still got the old one, sort of sitting in the middle of the floor in the way, but the problem seems to be what to do with it. Anyone want a double sofa bed? Wilma and I rather like having it there, but our Mistress says it really can\u2019t stay, not least because she can\u2019t use the stove in the office while it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Mistress let us raid the puppy toy box to see if there was one we\u2019d like. We chose the owl. I guess once we\u2019ve shredded that one she might let us have another. She says when we are eventually able to have puppies again she\u2019ll buy them some new toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a great Saturday. I\u2019m off to help our Mistress carving a pumpkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<br>\nAristotle<\/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 weekend everyone, it\u2019s Aristotle here.
