I\u2019m not talking about humans particularly, but I suspect the same things apply. Because I was going to day care yesterday I left Aristotle with the instructions to look after Mum. I thought he\u2019d do a good job or I wouldn\u2019t have gone off enjoying myself for the day. When we got to kennels I ran in to see my friends and was happy that Mum would be in safe paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Different approaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My approach when Mum is under the weather is to lick her snuggle up to her and make sure I\u2019m in a comfortable position for us to nap together. Both Shadow and I are very licky dogs when it comes to taking care of our humans. It\u2019s a girl thing I think. All part of our maternal instincts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle saw his role quite differently. When Mum needed a bit of a nap, he did join her, as I had expected him to. However, he didn\u2019t cuddle up but put himself on guard duty to protect her while she napped. I am not absolutely sure what he was protecting her from. We don\u2019t get many dragons for example in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_9465-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17768\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I did of course take over from him when I got home, but I\u2019m pleased to say she was feeling somewhat better, so maybe his approach works after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clotted Cream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst I was out, Aristotle did discover just how much he likes clotted cream. He didn\u2019t do anything wrong, don\u2019t worry. Mum had scones with clotted cream and jam for her and dad and she gave a little of the cream to Ari. He hasn\u2019t stopped talking about it and &nbsp;has already said that when the container is nearly empty he\u2019d like to lick it out. I\u2019m going to let him. Not because I\u2019m nice, but because I know she\u2019s making a cheesecake later in the week and I\u2019m going to be on paw to help with that.<\/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>Wilma is comparing boys against girls and noting just how different they are in how they approach the same thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17768,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[63,50,93],"class_list":["post-17767","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","tag-aristotle","tag-entlebucher","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17767"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17767\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17767"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17767"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
