I went swimming yesterday and our Mistress weighed me properly without my harness. You aren\u2019t going to believe this, but the new slimline Ari is only 24.7kg. That\u2019s hardly any more than Wilma. It resulted in our Mistress sitting me down for a serious chat and concluding when I had my shower after swimming that I might have become a little on the thin side. I reassured her that I have not become anorexic. However, if I\u2019m being honest some of the weight loss may be down to stress when she goes away without me. Her first worry is that there is nothing else medical going on, but apart from a small \u2018incident\u2019 late on Monday which I\u2019ll come back to, I feel absolutely fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_8557-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_8557-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IMG_8557.jpg 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve agreed that I can go up to three meals a day for the\nnext week and then she will weigh me again to make sure I\u2019m putting on a little\nweight. She says she thinks I\u2019m a kilo or two under my ideal weight and who am\nI to argue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rotten Pears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There was the small matter of the rotten pear. To be fair, our\nMistress had made very clear to me that eating it would be a very bad idea. I\ndidn\u2019t listen. Why would I? I\u2019m a dog. Anyway, with hindsight, it would have\nbeen better if I\u2019d paid attention. First of all I tried eating all the grass\nand plants I could find and made myself sick before bed. I did feel a little\nbetter for it, but when I went to bed I started to have tummy ache again. Well,\nwhat\u2019s a boy to do? I ate my bed to make myself sick again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When our Mistress came down this morning, my bed was in a very\nsorry state. The whole lot has been binned and I am being monitored carefully.\nSadly, the upshot is not me getting a new bed. I do feel better and haven\u2019t\nbeen sick since, but one of the old beds that the others don\u2019t want is being \u2018reallocated\u2019\nto me. Why can\u2019t I have a nice new one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going to have to work on this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a great Wednesday <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Slimline Ari It\u2019s me again, slimline Ari.
