Dog hearing is very good. We can hear a biscuit tin being opened from well over 100 metres. We can hear the fridge door from several blocks away. In addition to that, we can hear Mum\u2019s car pulling into the drive of the kennels where we\u2019re staying. There we were yesterday just after lunch, looking forward to our afternoon walk when we heard Mum\u2019s car. At least, Aristotle and I heard her car, we had to use sign language for Shadow. I got all excited thinking Mum had come to take us home. Ten minutes later we heard her drive away. Now, we love kennels and we love our afternoon walks, but they don\u2019t compare with cuddles with Mum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently, we have to stay a little longer and Mum needed to drop some of Shadow\u2019s medication off for her. You would think she might have taken the time to drop in to see us all and give us a hug, but no. She simply got back in the car and drove away. Oh, I know what she\u2019ll say. It will be, \u2018I didn\u2019t want to upset you by thinking I\u2019d come to pick you up.\u2019 NEWS ALERT \u2013 we heard you! We\u2019re not stupid. We already thought you\u2019d come to pick us up, it would have been nice for you to explain in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I rang her later to find out what was going on. Why can\u2019t I go house hunting with her? I could really help. It\u2019s not really fair that she\u2019s trying to choose our new home without any of the three of us having any say in the matter at all. What if she gets it wrong and we don\u2019t like the one that she and Dad choose? Then what are they going to do? I might just pack my little case and move to Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilma thinks Mum probably doesn’t understand how good dog hearing is. Dogs can recognise many sounds from a long distance – including cars!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21273,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23546","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=23546"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23546\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23546"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23546"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23546"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
