You should hear my Mistress talking to little \u2018Tessie\u2019, not that I\u2019m jealous you understand, but there she is pampering the little thing saying that if when she goes off to her humans she\u2019s worried about anything then all she has to do is pick up the phone and call and my Mistress would be right there. Now I know I\u2019m only her dog, but I think she might be missing something. Who in their right mind lets a 10 week old have access to the telephone? I was at least six months old before I was allowed to do things like that. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You just know that goody four paws Tess is going to be absolutely fine with her family.<\/em> She will probably never put a paw wrong. Ok so she was chewing on her brother\u2019s ear earlier, but she was only getting her own back for the way they gang up on her. It\u2019s hard to really feel annoyed with her, she is beautiful and much as I\u2019m jealous even I have to admit she is the most gentle puppy you can imagine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As for Alfie, well this sounds awfully familiar of my puppyhood. Alfie was just over a year old when he discovered the ills of eating everything he could find. This is what he wrote way back in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How should I know which particular item I found in the garden made me sick on the lounge rug? I\u2019d read on my master\u2019s \u2018Worst Case Scenario Calendar\u2019 that if I am stranded somewhere I should never eat white berries so it definitely wasn\u2019t any of those. It might have been the foul tasting stuff I found under the bush but it might not have been. All I know is that I did not deserve to be shouted at by my master. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n As always my mistress stuck up for me, even though she was left with the task of cleaning up. I was a bit subdued for a while and it was a few hours before I felt compelled to go back into the garden to see if I could find out what had caused it. I got to snuggle up on the bed with my mistress so it was definitely worth it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s enough from the archives. Have a lovely Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wilma brings you a puppy promises flashback from when Tess was small and a story from Alfie’s puppyhood.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4462,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147],"tags":[109,77,50],"class_list":["post-19416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-flashback","tag-alfie","tag-britannia","tag-entlebucher","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19416","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=19416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"In](\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Tess-and-Basil-2.jpg\")
