Dear Wilma. She does need to learn not to try to put her nose against the glass. Thankfully, it was when our Mistress had only just lit it, so things hadn\u2019t warmed up yet and I don\u2019t think she hurt herself. Our Mistress is just hoping that she has learned her lesson now and doesn\u2019t try anything more stupid, but you know what these puppies are like. Mind you, I\u2019m eleven and I still go to pick hot foot up off the kitchen floor when our Mistress drops it, so maybe some things we never really learn! I am a little more choosy than I used to be, but if one of the others is around, there is always that fear they will get it before I can, so I have to be fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The start of log fires has also got our Mistress singing her usual refrain about there being \u2018something in the woodshed\u2019. She assures me it comes from a song, but you\u2019d never recognise it the way she sings it. Anyway, she is now watching out for what crawls out of the wood she\u2019s gathering to bring in. I\u2019m guessing we\u2019ll have to put up with the singing for a few weeks until she finally annoys herself into stopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with our Mistress having more energy than she\u2019s had for a while is that she bounces. She can be a bit like Tigger when she\u2019s like that. Wilma thinks it\u2019s great. Ari ended up having a longer walk as a result. Shadow just ignores her and me? Well I don\u2019t think I want to be bounced on. I\u2019ve becoming increasingly Eeyore as I\u2019ve got older and you know how Eeyore feels about Tigger! I think I need more of a piglet character to keep me company or maybe Kanga to look after me. Our Mistress can be Kanga, but only some of the time.<\/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>Fires are hot!
