Aristotle at 6 months<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

We were talking to Wilma about the things we did when we were her age. She\u2019s now 10 months old so it\u2019s fun to reminisce on our puppyhoods. I thought I\u2019d share one of those times with you in case you can\u2019t remember or weren\u2019t reading what Alfie wrote back then. He didn\u2019t allow me to write any days on my own way back then. It was July 2012. This is what Alfie wrote about me on the first day of the month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Ari was quiet, so my Mistress went to see what he was doing. He was taking all the weeds that she\u2019d put in the wheelbarrow and spreading them over the patio. So, my Mistress told him off and said he wasn\u2019t to do that any more. Ari was quiet, so my Mistress went to see what he was doing. He had opened the sack of bark and distributed it round the patio. He grinned and said he hadn\u2019t touched the weeds. Ari was quiet, my Mistress went to see what he was doing. He had taken two lengths of timber off the sun bed and was sitting on the patio chewing them. Once again he was told not to do that. Of course he protested that he\u2019d left the bark and the weeds alone. Ari was quiet. By now you are probably getting the picture. He\u2019d left the timber, the bark and weeds exactly as he had been told to and had instead eaten the door mat! He\u2019s got class. Of course it did get him grounded, but it was unconvincing as my Mistress was laughing as she told him off and the way he grinned up at her I strongly suspect that he had understood exactly what he was doing!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I liked the bit where he said I\u2019ve got class! Our Mistress always jokes that when she goes out she has to leave me in my crate for fear that if she doesn\u2019t, by the time she gets back I\u2019ll have sold the house and deposited the money in a numbered Swiss bank account. There\u2019s nothing like giving me ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
