Our Mistress, while she agreed with him, couldn\u2019t see what point he was trying to make. In her words \u2018Why would I want pictures of people?\u2019 The other humans in the house don\u2019t think she\u2019s quite normal, but we love her all the more for it. To be fair, my Master did point out that there are more dogs than people in the house too, but many of the photographs are not of the four of us. There are pictures of us, obviously, but there are also quite a few of my brothers and sisters and some of our friends as well. It is mainly in the office that the walls are covered in such photographs, the rest of the house could be regarded as a little more normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve got people coming around tonight so we\u2019ve all been asked to behave. I think our Mistress is most worried about Alfie in all of it. He gets upset now if there are strangers in the house. Our Mistress has been getting him to sit in the car every now and then as he\u2019s happy there. However, it will be much too cold for him to sit outside so he\u2019s supposed to be sitting in the office for the evening with Wilma. He\u2019s normally in the kitchen and gets a bit distressed when he can\u2019t be. Let\u2019s just hope that he\u2019s feeling tired and finds somewhere he can curl up to sleep. I think our Mistress is going to put his favourite bed and blanket so he can make himself comfortable in that. I\u2019m ok as I\u2019m quite content in my usual spot. I\u2019m a fairly easy going sort of a chap on the whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have fun<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ari<\/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>Andy pointed out to our Mistress yesterday that there are far more photographs up on the walls of our house with dogs on them, than <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2017\/01\/15\/sunday-15th-january-2017-an-observation\/\" title=\"Sunday 15th January 2017 &#8211; An observation\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":13643,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,113],"tags":[109,63],"class_list":["post-12542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-health","tag-alfie","tag-aristotle","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12542","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\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
