Thank you all. There\u2019s still plenty of time to donate and you\u2019ll have to forgive me for giving you the link again.

I\u2019ve been feeling very clingy and needing contact with our Mistress more than ever. Yesterday when I went swimming she had to walk up and down the side of the pool to get me to swim because I was so concerned about where she was. That\u2019s ok until it set her vertigo off again and she had to stay as close as she could so I could be near her. I don\u2019t really know why I\u2019m feeling like this, I\u2019m just grateful she\u2019s being understanding. I didn\u2019t bark when she came home either and that\u2019s not normal. It wasn\u2019t that I hadn\u2019t heard her, I just stood at the gate quietly. You might think that was good news and being a good dog I shouldn\u2019t bark, but she knows me too well so has asked why I didn\u2019t bark and I just don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s just because the weather has turned cold, although I have to say I was grateful to put my coat on after swimming this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crows have found a new way to cause annoyance. They are pecking at the roof of the office. Our Mistress says she thinks they are after the moss that has formed up there, but they are certainly winding us up with their tapping and scratching. They\u2019d left us alone for a while and I\u2019d forgotten how nice that was.<\/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>I\u2019m delighted that with donations that have come in direct to the Club account and to the Just Giving Page, we\u2019re already a third of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2016\/11\/09\/wednesday-9th-november-2016-off-to-a-good-start\/\" title=\"Wednesday 9th November 2016 &#8211; Off to a good start\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11453,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,113],"tags":[109,50,58],"class_list":["post-12326","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-health","tag-alfie","tag-entlebucher","tag-wildlife","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12326","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12326"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12326\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12326"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12326"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12326"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
