Happy birthday Grandpa. If you thought Alfie was old the other day, he\u2019s not as old as our human maternal Grandpa. Today he is 93 years old. He\u2019s wonderful and we all love him very much\u2026 except Wilma whose scared of his hearing aid! I really wish I could go to see him today. I\u2019ve been told I have to look after Alfie for the day while our Mistress and the girls go to see Grandpa. Wilma offered to stay here so I could go. However our Mistress said it was much easier for her taking Wilma so we weren\u2019t given the choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The memory of an Entlebucher<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole hearing aid thing was very unfortunate. When Wilma was a puppy and met Grandpa for the first time, his hearing aid let out a very loud high pitched noise which she didn\u2019t like. Unfortunately, she has associated it with Grandpa instead of with his hearing aid and it really doesn\u2019t matter what any of the rest of us say to her, she won\u2019t change her view. Our Mistress is waiting to see if the same is true after Wilma stuck her nose into an electric fence at the Ballenberg museum. In that instance although our Mistress has tried explaining to Wilma that the fence was the problem, she\u2019s sure Wilma thinks it was the animals in the pen behind it that Wilma was trying to say hello to. And she\u2019s supposed to be the brightest of the family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Earplugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, for my part I\u2019m going to need earplugs for the day as if it\u2019s anything like yesterday Alfie will just bark his way through it. I\u2019ve got no idea why he\u2019s barking. He\u2019s got no idea why he\u2019s barking. Sadly, he was having one of those days where logic wasn\u2019t going to be the answer. I\u2019d rather be going to see Grandpa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 2018 Rosemary J.
