We started talking about some of my favourite things and times we\u2019ve had together. I decided that it would be fun to go through my photo archive to see what I could find. I started with my puppy pictures and that was enough to make Mum smile. This was the first photo of me that my breeders sent to Mum. It was love at first sight for Mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"17952\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1785-871x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17952\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"254\" data-id=\"17953\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1787.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17953\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1787.jpg 450w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_1787-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I sent her a picture for her birthday.

It was at my aunt Tosca\u2019s house. I was only seventeen weeks old. Mum hadn\u2019t been able to come until then as Shadow\u2019s last litter of puppies had to go off to their homes first. She set off for Switzerland on the day the last puppy went to its new home. Alfie had travelled to Switzerland with her to meet me as well as my human aunt. I\u2019ve always been especially fond of my aunt since then. It was why Alfie was always my best buddy too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"17955\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2260-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17955\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"17956\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2272-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17956\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-very-close\">Very Close<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum and I became very close very quickly and we\u2019ve been inseparable since. It\u2019s pretty much the same with me and Horsie too. I\u2019ve still got him. Actually, that\u2019s not quite true. I\u2019ve got Horsie mark two now. Something odd happened to the first one and he fell apart in my paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"17959\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2347-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17959\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"17960\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2358-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17960\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I was less impressed when Mum made me dress up as Santa paws. I thought it was silly. There can only be one Santa Paws and it\u2019s not me. It was good when I actually got to meet him for the first time though, but he did smell an awful lot like Dad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"17961\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2366-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"17963\" src=\"https:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/IMG_2458-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17963\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I had so much fun looking back that I might do some more of it if Mum needs any more cheering up.<\/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 looking at a few of her favourite things as she tries to keep Mum cheerful in these difficult times.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[109,50,43,93],"class_list":["post-17951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","tag-alfie","tag-entlebucher","tag-switzerland","tag-wilma","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17951","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=17951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
