It was so weird. It\u2019s really Alfie\u2019s car, although he wasn\u2019t driving you\u2019ll be pleased to know. I didn\u2019t know how to sit in the seat to begin with. It\u2019s a sort of sports seat and not designed for a dog to curl up. Our Mistress put the back down as far as it would go to try to make it more of a bed. I did manage to curl up once I\u2019d got the hang of it. At least I can do it without wrapping myself around the gearstick.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5843-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5843-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5843-1-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5843-1-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_5843-1.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all got to get used to it. When our Mistress\u2019s car goes into the garage to be fixed she will need to use that one for a week. Wilma still needs to have a go. She\u2019s smaller than me and very good at curling into a ball. I\u2019m guessing she\u2019ll be fine. Mind you, she says she wants to feel the wind in her fur and stick her head out of the window so we\u2019ll have to wait to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cocking My Leg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I know it may seem odd to you to be boasting about cocking my leg at my age, but it actually means quite a lot. I haven\u2019t done it most of my life because with my front legs being poorly it hurts to put more pressure on them. It\u2019s just that I seem to be much stronger at the moment and they don\u2019t hurt so much which means I can actually cock my leg like a normal dog and I feel rather proud about it. I\u2019m not going to push my luck and do it too much, but it\u2019s a great feeling to be like all the other boys once in a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a great Sunday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle<\/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.
