It\u2019s removals day today, not helped by our Mistress being ill. She talked to us about the move and asked if we\u2019d prefer not to have to spend our day getting in the way. As far as I was concerned it was an easy choice. I find having strangers in our house very distressing these days. Shadow, would have stayed as she wanted to spend her day directing operations. Our Mistress said that was precisely why she was joining me and not being given the choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle says he\u2019s easy either way, but then he says that about most things. Our Mistress said he\u2019d get more fresh air and exercise here so he came too. Wilma, goody four-paws, Wilma, would not leave our Mistress\u2019s side and said someone had to be there to look after her, so she has stayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The day ahead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My day ahead is well planned. I\u2019ll be sleeping a fair bit and going out and getting lots of fresh air too. I do like it here. I\u2019ve been coming since I was two, so they all know me quite well. They know that some things distress me\u2026 such as Aristotle! They feed me on time and make sure I\u2019m ok. If I can\u2019t be at home, there\u2019s nowhere I\u2019d rather be. Aristotle shares with Shadow when three of us are here and I get a kennel to myself. I prefer it that way \u2013 much to the annoyance of Shadow, who says she\u2019d prefer it that way too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest problem is if we hear our Mistress\u2019s car drive past outside. We all think she\u2019s coming to pick us up and get excited. I suppose there are times that can\u2019t be helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just hope Wilma remembers to keep an eye on my bed to make sure that doesn\u2019t get packed by mistake. That would really upset me. I do get very attached to my things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie<\/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\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 2018 Rosemary J.
