I decided to do a little looking back again at events from the past, seeing as it is Friday. I\u2019ve got time on my paws at the moment, so it kept me occupied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alfie made me laugh back in 2008 when he had his first tracker for his collar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It turns out that my personal sat-nav is not exactly \u2018nav\u2019ing and that for all my Mistress\u2019s paranoia and the big brother society in which I live I am going to be free to do my own thing for at least a little longer. My Mistress has been offered a full refund but she wants a replacement. I want the refund! I thought I might spend it on a little outing somewhere, untracked by anyone. W<\/em>hilst I know it\u2019s for my own good, do you see my Master wearing one?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n He seems to wander off and we don\u2019t know where he is. To be fair it is usually a work thing and my Mistress has simply forgotten to write down what country he\u2019s in, but he might have got lost. I suggested to my Mistress that the best thing would be to attach myself to her a little bit like gloves on a string through a coat, some sort of permanent connection that meant she was always by my side. She\u2019d get used to running across fields chasing rabbits after a while.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Then in 2010 Alfie was making preparations for the arrival of my Aunty Megan to live with them. He really was a very considerate dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is so exciting. Megan\u2019s travel plans to England are taking shape. I can\u2019t wait to see her. I\u2019ve even asked if I can have a bath ready for her arrival. I really want to look my best. I know I don\u2019t normally go in for things being washed, but I\u2019m planning to put all my beds and blankets through the wash so that if she wants to use any of them she won\u2019t find all the dirt I\u2019ve left behind. Shadow has said she needn\u2019t think that Megan is going anywhere near her bed and I told her not to be so mean. It isn\u2019t going to be easy for Megan having to wave her Mum off when she goes back to Switzerland and leaves Megan here.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before I forget, a very happy 88th<\/sup> birthday to Granny. Sorry we can\u2019t be with you, but we\u2019ll see you soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wilma is looking back to other years and what happened on this date.
