I can only hope that this one will not have an entourage of noisy terrier like dogs that take an exception to my existence. Is it my fault that I like to pee on the spot that they have adopted as home? I don\u2019t actually do that now that they\u2019re there, but the point is that I have been deprived of the opportunity. My Mistress points out that they aren\u2019t doing anyone any harm, but she\u2019s not a dog. How can she know what it\u2019s like to be deprived of your favourite peeing spot?<\/p>\n<p>I take back most of what I said yesterday about being jealous that it her book and not one of mine that is going to be published. I have never seen her work so hard as she has the last few hours, trying to do a final edit to get the book as perfect as possible. She thought it was finished, until she started to reread it and decided whole passages needed changing round. My Master is a braver man than I am. He\u2019s making suggestions for improvements. It\u2019s a bit like making personal comments to an untamed lion. You\u2019re ok as long as the lion thinks the same way, but if not, you really don\u2019t want to be in the cage at the same time. Anyway, it all goes to make me wonder if I ever want the bother of getting my books published. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m up to concentrating on editing. I\u2019m more of a \u2018let\u2019s play tug\u2019 sort of a dog.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>One caravan where I normally go for a walk is all well and good, except for the three dogs that I have an argument with <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2008\/09\/28\/sunday-28th-september-2008\/\" title=\"Sunday 28th September 2008\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2238","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2238","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2238"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2238\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
