This weekend she\u2019s off to see my grandparents and my girlfriend, all in the same weekend. I\u2019d love to see my girlfriend, but I think it could only happen now if she came here to visit me. Obviously, I\u2019d love to see my grandparents too, but they do come up here sometimes so it is not so long since I saw them. It means we\u2019ve got another weekend of looking after our Master, but that\u2019s not so difficult. All we have to do is guard the crisp cupboard so he doesn\u2019t eat too many and stand in front of the fridge when we think he\u2019s had enough beer. Ari goes for more direct action and tries to drink the beer when our Master is off guard. The bottles thwart him, but he does fine with a beer glass or a wine glass. I think our Master is planning a quiet weekend painting the model aeroplane he\u2019s building. The advantage of doing it when our Mistress isn\u2019t here, is that she doesn\u2019t get to see the mess until it\u2019s all over and most of it cleared away. He wants to get an airbrush to paint it with, but she says she might prefer that not to take place on our dining table. She\u2019s worried he will get it everywhere, a bit like the wall by the back door which is splattered in mud from us all shaking dry after we\u2019ve been outside. As you can imagine, we\u2019re all on our Master\u2019s side as it helps to take the focus on the mess we\u2019ve caused. Our Mistress has pointed out that it would be helpful if we could clean up after ourselves once in a while, but that\u2019s not going to be happening anytime soon, at least not with Wilma in the house.<\/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 know I get stressed if I go anywhere, but I am envious of Wilma.
