When I read this from five years ago, I concluded that nothing much changes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2013<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I\u2019m rather hoping that the weather will be good enough for another exciting outing to explore a bit more of this county. We all sat down last night to discuss where we wanted to go, Shadow opted for the beach and I opted for a forest. Ari wanted somewhere with lots of other people and dogs and I wanted somewhere deserted. I suspect that the humans will get the real choice but they agree about as much as we do. Ah well as long as there\u2019s an ice cream at the end of it I suppose I shouldn\u2019t grumble.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Alfie writing this the previous year made me laugh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2012<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0476cropped.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_0476cropped-291x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6394\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alfie showing what was in the box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>I know I have to own up sooner or later to buying the stroller for Aristotle, but I was working on later. Except \u2013 it\u2019s arrived and the box is quite big\u2026and heavy\u2026and I need help building it. To be honest I need help getting it out of the box, before I even get to the bit with the instructions that don\u2019t make any sense. I think this may be the point where I have to hold up my paw and admit to what I\u2019ve done. We all love little Ari, it\u2019s bound to be all right\u2026isn\u2019t it?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile nine years ago Alfie was busy with a bit of dog philosophy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2009<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I have a theory as to why a dog is always pleased to see you, when you don\u2019t think you\u2019ve been gone for long. It\u2019s all to do with having different concepts of time. If you think of a human year being seven dog years, it makes sense. To us if you are out for an hour, it feels as though you\u2019ve been gone all day. If you do happen to go out for the day without us, well it feels as though we\u2019ve been abandoned altogether. Now faced with those thoughts, can you see that we are filled with delight and relief when you come home to us?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well that\u2019s it from me for today. I\u2019m hoping for another long walk with Mum later, but in the meantime I\u2019m going to put my paws up for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/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.
