I do so wish I was there. I have to admit to being a little jealous of Dad being out and about. He was going for a swim in the lake but he didn\u2019t get around to that one. Anyway, more importantly, Valeria and the puppies are all well. I said he should take one home with him when they are a bit older so that there is one of us there to look after him, but he says he\u2019s just as happy to wait to see all of us at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-26-at-15.31.52-577x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17644\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=17644\" class=\"wp-image-17644\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-26-at-15.33.37-577x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17645\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=17645\" class=\"wp-image-17645\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-26-at-15.35.06-577x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17646\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=17646\" class=\"wp-image-17646\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-26-at-15.36.59-577x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17647\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2020-07-26-at-15.36.59.jpeg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=17647\" class=\"wp-image-17647\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Julchen, Janis Joplin, Jambalaya and Johnny b Goode<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dumbo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow was busy doing a Dumbo impression yesterday. I don\u2019t know how she can put her ears in that position and hold them there. I think her ears are made differently to mine. Mine are much thinner and won\u2019t do quite the same things. Oh, I can put them back and look cute, but there is no chance of my flapping them hard enough to see if I can take off. Shadow\u2019s never turn inside out either. Mine doing that isn\u2019t a skill as I don\u2019t have any control over it. It just happens and then Mum makes me fold them back the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_9431-copy-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17648\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum is keeping up our daily retraining sessions. Mine are going well and I\u2019ve really remembered everything. I\u2019m just having to be a bit more self disciplined. My stays have gone a bit wonky so Mum says we need to work on those. Ari is a completely different matter. He is still arguing about why he has to do the boring stuff. He\u2019s happy to do the tricks, like \u2018touch\u2019 and \u2018tap\u2019 and playing \u2018tag\u2019 with Mum, but he says stay and wait and walking to heel are just too boring to want to bother with. He\u2019s not as easily bribed with food as I am. If he doesn\u2019t fancy something he just walks away. It\u2019s a battle of wills and my money is on Aristotle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow on the other paw has played the elderly dog card. For one thing she claims not to be able to hear. Then when asked to sit or lie down she does the whole \u2018what, with my bad leg?\u2019 routine. I suspect she will be excused from some of the sessions on the grounds that Mum just can\u2019t face the battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Valeria has puppies and Dad has been to see them He sent me some lovely pictures.
