I don\u2019t mean literally, I mean it\u2019s her third birthday and that makes her twenty-one in human terms. I guess the saying that she\u2019s got the key to the door is about it indicating that she is now a fully fledged adult. There\u2019s just one small problem, no one seems to have told Wilma she\u2019s an adult. I think that goes with being the youngest. Ari didn\u2019t bother growing up until he knew another puppy was joining the family, so maybe Wilma will just stay a puppy until we have another pup in the household. Anyway, have a very happy birthday Wilma and of course your brothers and sisters too. We all love you very much and are very pleased you came to be our puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Mistress had the crazy idea that she\u2019d like us all to sit nicely for a family photo for Wilma\u2019s birthday. You wouldn\u2019t believe how hard something like that is to achieve. I think the whole neighbourhood heard about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-my-sister\">My sister<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a lovely email from my sister Esther yesterday. She\u2019s doing well although a lot greyer than I\u2019ve gone. To be honest she really does look very dignified in her old age. It was good to hear she was still enjoying life too. She has a younger companion at home too, I do think it helps to keep us young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-swimming\">Swimming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s swimming day today and Shadow is very excited. She is going to start swimming regularly now too and today is her first session. Our Mistress wasn\u2019t sure whether she would be going but has decided that it will do Shadow good which has really made Shadow\u2019s day. It\u2019s going to be quite fun having an oldies outing to the swimming pool each week. Ari is fed up that he\u2019s not included, but he is doing well right now so is in less need. He\u2019ll go instead of one of us some weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a good day<\/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.
