Aristotle has asked if my Mistress would consider agreeing a compromise on the toilet training. If he promises to use the puppy mat would she give up on the idea of him having to go outside in the cold? Well I just laughed. \u201cI tried that one six years ago, Sunshine,\u201d I said. I went on to point out that the tree that is being brought into the house in the next week or two should NEVER be considered as an alternative to going outside either. That one doesn\u2019t go down well. At least he won\u2019t be at the age where he can cock his leg up it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yesterday he did the cutest thing. Even I was impressed. He\u2019d had his bowl taken away as he had apparently finished eating. The bowl had been put on the chest of drawers, still in view. A little later he went and sat in front of the chest of drawers staring at his bowl and gently crying. He was feeling peckish and wanted to have a little of what he had left. How could anyone resist such adorable behaviour? I almost had to pinch myself to remind myself that he is my rival in my Mistress\u2019s affections and I shouldn\u2019t succumb to his charms too easily.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well that\u2019s all from me today. Looking back has cheered me up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a great Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilma<\/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":"
