Wilma went to the vet to be neutered yesterday. It was funny how quiet it was without her. Our Mistress was a little bit stressed as well as being sad that it means Wilma definitely won\u2019t have puppies, but that\u2019s the way things go sometimes. Now the problem is going to be keeping Wilma quiet while she recovers. It\u2019s going to be very hard for her to remember she can\u2019t jump about as normal until she is fully recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle spent the day feeling sorry for himself and wanting lots of cuddles from our Mistress. He was still pooing foam so I can only hope he\u2019s learnt his lesson. My bed will never be the same again. In fact I\u2019m now asking if it\u2019s possibly to have a new one for my birthday in November. I\u2019ve said it doesn\u2019t need to be as big as my one at home as I really do prefer the smaller cosier size, even though it means curling right up. Now I have to wait to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_5003-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_5003-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_5003-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_5003-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/IMG_5003.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What our Mistress did buy me was a cuddly armadillo. Now I know what you\u2019re thinking, armadillos are not cuddly, but mine made by the same company as make Wilma\u2019s Horsie, which is apparently a donkey, and is the same sort of material. I do quite like him and the position of resident armadillo was vacant in our household!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other picture that our Mistress ordered has arrived, but this one was actually for our Master and is a picture of Shadow. I\u2019ve got to wait to show you until he\u2019s been able to hang it on the wall, but he\u2019s very pleased with it.<\/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>Some days I have to take several naps while thinking what to tell you about and other days there are so many things that I <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2017\/09\/07\/thursday-7th-september-2017-where-to-start\/\" title=\"Thursday 7th September 2017 &#8211; Where to start?\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,113],"tags":[109,63,14,50,27,93],"class_list":["post-13592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-health","tag-alfie","tag-aristotle","tag-breeding","tag-entlebucher","tag-shadow","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13592","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
