The first batch of frozen teddies were removed from the freezer and lovingly had life rubbed back into them as the next batch were put on their gurney and pushed into the freezer. The anti-moth cedar wood won\u2019t arrive until tomorrow so the thawed teddies will stay downstairs until they have some protection in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I forgot to wish Alfie a happy eleven and a half<sup>th<\/sup> birthday yesterday. Our Mistress says at his age we need to celebrate his age more often than just annually. In human terms that means he is now just over 80 but it still makes him younger than three of our human grandparents. He is catching up fast though. We hope his brother and two remaining sisters are doing well too. Our Mistress recorded him pitifully asking for his breakfast yesterday. We could hear him from a room an a half away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He starts like this at about 6.20am even though he doesn\u2019t get fed until 7am. I stay good and quiet even though I can hear him. Our poor Mistress doesn\u2019t get any more sleep when he starts and feels very sad. She can\u2019t feed him though as then he wants his tea even earlier. He already starts asking for that at around 3.15pm when we don\u2019t get fed until 5pm. Thankfully I think my human grandparents who are older are rather better behaved. The other day he forgot he\u2019d had his tea and started again straight after going out to the toilet when we\u2019d just eaten. I hope I\u2019m not like that when I get old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ah well, I guess you just have to make the most of what you do have. I\u2019m off to enjoy a quiet Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love Aristotle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at&nbsp;<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&nbsp;<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>Happy Sunday everyone, it\u2019s me again.
