She doesn\u2019t often go away without any of us and to be honest she\u2019s not great without a dog at her side to keep her on the straight and narrow. It\u2019s a writers\u2019 conference she\u2019s going to and you\u2019d think that any of Alfie, Wilma or me could have gone with her. We write too. However, it is a no dogs sort of place, which doesn\u2019t rank it very highly in my opinion. However, she\u2019s going anyway and I\u2019d just like to appeal to any of you dogs out there that she might happen to meet during the week, please will you take special care of her as she really needs one of us to look after her? She\u2019s off to see our friend Salvo on her way today so he and his new housemate Izzy will help for a short while at least. I think Ralph is going over to meet her too, so I guess today won\u2019t be too bad. It\u2019s the rest of the week that will be the problem. One of her friends who is going on the conference has an Irish Wolfhound that our Mistress would love to meet, but it\u2019s even harder to sneak a dog that size into somewhere than it would be with one of us.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4840.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4840-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4840-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4840-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4840-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4840.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As usual we have jobs to do while she is away. Looking after our Master and the garden being the most important ones. I am under strict instructions to make sure the runner beans are ok. It\u2019s the first time we\u2019ve had a group of beans and they really are looking quite good. She wants us to water the flowers too. She says she likes the sunflowers\u2019 happy smiling faces. Our Master tried to explain to her that sunflowers don\u2019t have faces but she just said he didn\u2019t have soul. I\u2019ve no idea what either of them are on about if I\u2019m being honest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Saturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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>When our Mistress leaves today I feel as though I should be putting a little label on her saying \u2018Please look after this human\u2019.
