I had to pose for some Christmas photos yesterday. It was fine to begin with but after a while I have to say I was getting a bit cheesed off as the hat kept falling off and Mum kept making me change pose before she\u2019d give me a treat. Shadow was very proud to show off the lights on her tree and then Mum went outside with Aristotle to do the official switch on. I went to inspect it once it was done, but Ari helped turning them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:36.03523%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"2560\" data-id=\"18283\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=18283\" data-url=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0555-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0555-scaled.jpg\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:63.96477%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-height=\"1920\" data-id=\"18284\" data-link=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/?attachment_id=18284\" data-url=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0557-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0557-scaled.jpg\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0554-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18286\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-advent-candles-and-calendars\">Advent candles and calendars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum has started her coffee advent calendar and says given I\u2019m hyper at the best of times I\u2019m not going to be allowed to share it. Quite honestly I think that\u2019s mean. I\u2019ve got my own one in the kitchen with a dog treat in each day, so I guess I can\u2019t really complain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum never remembers to light the advent candles, so we have two not started and we\u2019re still only on 17<sup>th<\/sup> December on the third. I suggested she might try to finish that one but she says it would be a shame to spoil it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0561-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18287\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-santa-paws\">Santa Paws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I just have to wait to see if Santa Paws calls on us. My stocking is up on the chimney and all ready for him to come. Mum says we need to leave hand sanitiser with his mince pie this year, but I\u2019m sure he\u2019d prefer brandy. It would have much the same effect. He\u2019s going to have to be very careful with calling at so many places. I wouldn\u2019t want Santa to end up being ill. I guess Rudolph won\u2019t let him take any unnecessary risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_0550-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18285\"\/><\/figure>\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 would like to officially declare Christmas 2020 open.
