I\u2019m lining up some interviews for you on the latest technology for dogs. I can\u2019t wait to tell you about them in the next couple of weeks and then a little later we are hoping that I can do a test for you as well. I think at last I\u2019ve found what my career can be. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll write books like Alfie has, but I do like writing so I can be more of a journalist and write about different exciting things for dogs. I might do some travel write ups too and then I can have my own sections on the diary so you can find things like hotels that dogs can stay in. I might even start tomorrow by telling you more about the hotel I stayed in last night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After my day in Bedford yesterday I\u2019m off to see Alfie\u2019s girlfriend today. It\u2019s more so Mum can see the humans and bring her goddaughter\u2019s birthday present at last, but I\u2019m quite happy with the arrangement too. I know Bella\u2019s going to think I\u2019m being a bit weird, but I\u2019ve brought a blanket for her to lie on so I can take her scent back to Alfie. It will mean more to him than a photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my own part I\u2019m rather hoping for the chance to play with the birthday present Mum has brought with her. It looks fun, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s really been designed with dogs in mind, which is such a shame. It is very short sighted of manufacturers not to bear in mind the needs of the four-legged members of a household when developing toys. I\u2019m in the right size range if I stand on my back legs, although Mum says I\u2019m not to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a lovely day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/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>Oh this is exciting.
