Hello everyone, it\u2019s Alfie here. I had a much better day yesterday so thought I\u2019d drop you all a note to say thank you for all the good wishes and helpful suggestions. Our Mistress has a number of plans to try and I must say I do quite like the sound of some of them, so hopefully on my bad days I\u2019ll find them a comfort. It does all rather make me think of Terry Pratchett and his description of his Alzheimer\u2019s as an embuggerance. I have to say I can\u2019t think of a better description. On my bad days I don\u2019t really realise how bad I am, but when I think about it on my good days I really wish it could be different. I\u2019m mortified that I peed on the kitchen floor. I\u2019ve spent my whole life being a very clean dog and I just hate that not being the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d also like to personally thank those who have sponsored me to walk another mile this weekend. I\u2019m feeling up to it as things stand so hopefully I\u2019ll be off out on Saturday. I think Saturday is also when our Mistress is planning to build me a den. Her idea is that Aristotle can spend time sharing Shadow\u2019s room, so that he\u2019s far enough away from me so I relax. You should have heard what Shadow said on the subject, although in all honesty if you are of a delicate disposition it\u2019s probably better than you didn\u2019t hear! Anyway, then our Mistress is going to move all the boxes in the corner of the office and build me a den under her desk. She\u2019s going to try to find a way to block off the side so that I\u2019m completely enclosed except the side that is right by her. I think that might feel quite cosy and safe, but we\u2019ll have to see. She\u2019s going to prevent any of the others going in it too so that it never smells of anyone but me. I\u2019m going to have a cosy bed in there and some things which smell of our Mistress too. She\u2019s also going to make a den for me in my little sports car in the garage, for the times I need somewhere really calm and quiet. I like that idea as it\u2019s always been my car and has nothing but good memories attached. We\u2019ll see how it all goes. I\u2019ll let you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d also like to send our very deepest sympathy to the family of one of our long time readers. Sadly their Entlebucher, also called Alfie, died this week. We\u2019re all sending you all the woofs and licks we can at this difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, the walk for Heidi sponsorship is up to a total of \u00a31300 so far. We\u2019re still aiming to get to \u00a32000 so if you haven\u2019t yet emptied your piggy bank, now is the time to do it https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/crowdfunding\/walkforheidi<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a good day<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alfie<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can find short stories to read at www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
