Wilma never lets me get my paws on the keyboard these days. To a large extent it\u2019s my own fault. I\u2019ve become a bit distant from life in the house recently. It all started when I had to have crate rest for my cruciate ligament earlier in the year. I feel safe and happy tucked away in the little room at the front of the house. It\u2019s become my room. I can see out of the window and watch the world go by and no one really bothers me. I may have got a bit too used to it. Mum has been trying to persuade me to spend more time with her in the office and I just keep thinking I prefer my little room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_0511-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Aristotle looking questioningly at the camera\" class=\"wp-image-18129\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I\u2019m happy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get me wrong. I\u2019m not unhappy or depressed. I\u2019m oddly content in my own little world. I spend a lot of time thinking and a lot of time napping. I\u2019ve been plotting world domination, but quite honestly I\u2019m far too lazy to carry it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst part is that Wilma has this crazy idea that I ought to want to play with her all the time. She forgets I\u2019m nine. Mind you, she pretty much forgets she\u2019s five too. I\u2019m not really keen on playing too vigorously. The whole cruciate thing gave me a bit of a scare with having two bad front legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Times I\u2019m happiest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The times I\u2019m happiest, except in my own room are outside helping Mum in the garden. Even then I sometimes leave her to it and watch through the window. I may get plenty of chance to do that now that all the parts needed for the pressure washer have arrived and will be out of quarantine today. True to form, it does mean rain is forecast so I will take up my position on the mat by the back door and watch from indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Aristotle wonders asks &#8216;had you forgotten me?&#8217; as it&#8217;s been so long since Wilma&#8217;s let him write the diary.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":18129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[63,50,93],"class_list":["post-18128","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\/18128","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\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18128"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18128\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18129"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
