It seems unbelievable and we still miss him every day. It has been the oddest of times. I sometimes wonder what he would have made of it. He\u2019d certainly have liked the fact that Mum was around so much of the time. He\u2019s still a very big part of our lives, even though he isn\u2019t here. Maybe he\u2019s still here in spirit, watching over us, we certainly like to think so.<\/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\/09\/IMG_4836-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17866\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_4836-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=17866\" class=\"wp-image-17866\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alfie02_19_02_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17867\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alfie02_19_02_06.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=17867\" class=\"wp-image-17867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alfie02_19_02_06.jpg 450w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alfie02_19_02_06-300x251.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC00295-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17865\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/DSC00295.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=17865\" class=\"wp-image-17865\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Living My Best Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve really been making the most of Dad being home. Sitting outside in the sunshine is definitely very enjoyable. Yesterday wasn\u2019t sunny, but I was at day care so it didn\u2019t matter so much. I think the forecast is good again for today so I\u2019m hoping to alternate between lying in the sun in my favourite spot and sitting in the sun with Mum and Dad. Mum has promised to sit outside for coffee breaks when it\u2019s warm enough even after Dad has gone back and I totally approve of that idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0393-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17868\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Going Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last six months, Mum has not been out. She gone as far as the vet to drop us off, a mile in one direction, or to take me to daycare, a mile the other way. Apart from that there have been only two outings. One when she took Shadow and Ari to swimming and decided that was too stressful and the other right at the start when she had to take Ari to a vet further away. Now she has broken a tooth. She has a simple choice to make. Either put up with the pain for however long, or go to the dentist. Reluctantly she is doing the sensible thing and going to the dentist but she\u2019s got a week until her appointment and already can\u2019t sleep because she\u2019s worrying about it. I\u2019ve offered to go as her assistance dog, but as I\u2019m not qualified that isn\u2019t allowed.<\/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>6 months gone already, says Wilma as she thinks about how much we still miss Alfie. <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17866,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[109,146,50,93],"class_list":["post-17864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","tag-alfie","tag-covid-19","tag-entlebucher","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17864","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=17864"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17864\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
