What a lovely day it was yesterday. There I was bemoaning having to go to the vet, and when I came back I\u2019d had a lovely email saying that my diary was being listed as one of the top ten Pet Blogs in the UK. How cool is that? Of course, I\u2019ve been working on my acceptance speech ever since and will not be letting the fame go to my head. Aristotle on the other paw is now claiming it is all down to his involvement and that I couldn\u2019t have done it without him. Is it his name on the masthead? Is this Aristotle\u2019s Diary? No, I don\u2019t think it is. Anyway, I suppose I can be magnanimous enough to share my moment of glory with both him and Wilma and even a bit of reflected glory with Shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason were so excited is because these<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking things in my stride<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

are not just any old awards. Some blog awards are more of a \u2018Oo we like this one\u2019 sort of thing, or ones that you need to get your friends to vote for. This one from www.Vuelio.com<\/a> is a bit more special as it actually takes into account how many people read and follow the blog, so really the award goes to all of you who we\u2019ve grown to know and love over the years and that\u2019s a bit special. If you\u2019d like to have a look at the other nine that are listed you can find them HERE<\/a>. Wilma had a look through and had an idea. She wondered if any of the other dogs who are listed would like to meet her for a bit of a celebration. To be honest I think she likes the look of the Newfoundland Dog, Monty. She\u2019s always had a bit of a thing for bigger dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t forget we\u2019re still raising money for Heidi, the dog in rescue who has Ectopic Ureter and needs another operation to give her the chance of a normal, pain free life. You can put your paw in your pocket to sponsor me going out again at the weekend by marking your donations as for Alfie https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/crowdfunding\/walkforheidi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest update on the progress of the walk is http:\/\/entlebucher.co.uk\/club\/news\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a great Thursday<\/p>\n\n\n\n
