He wasn\u2019t the perfect dog we all remember him as being. I was going back through the diary to find something fun from the past and found one of his confessions from this day in 2015. It was before I joined the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-dog-s-got-to-do\"><em>A dog\u2019s got to do\u2026<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I have not behaved dreadfully well this week. There have been a couple of \u2018incidents\u2019 shall we say. Some friends of our Mistress\u2019s called the other day and I\u2019m not sure if it was the excitement or the stress but I might have just peed on the lounge carpet. I don\u2019t normally do things like that so I don\u2019t entirely know what came over me. Needless to say I was in trouble for that, but not as much trouble as the \u2018sausage roll\u2019 incident.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alfie-being-naughty-sausage-roll-incident\"><em>Alfie being Naughty &#8211; Sausage Roll Incident<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>While my Mistress was away I had to eat more because I lose weight when I\u2019m stressed. Because she knows it always happens she even feeds me up a bit before she goes knowing that I shall be my old slim self by the time she returns. Anyway, I\u2019ve got a bit too used to eating more and I\u2019m struggling on normal rations feeling hungry all the time. You know what it\u2019s like when you\u2019re on a diet. Every so often things become a bit overwhelming and you tend to binge eat. Our Mistress is generally very careful about leaving things around and to be fair the sausage rolls were in a tied plastic bag in the middle of the kitchen table. She\u2019d gone out and I was feeling peckish.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When she came home the plastic bag was empty on the kitchen floor. I\u2019d tried to put it in the bin, but since I used to raid the bin when I was hungry she\u2019s got one I can\u2019t get into, which meant I couldn\u2019t hide the evidence. She watched me fairly closely for a while in case they made me ill, but thankfully I don\u2019t seem to have suffered any ill effects and I have to say they really were very nice.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-am-not-like-alfie\">I am not like Alfie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, I am not like Alfie. I don\u2019t lose weight in kennels. I\u2019m still on a diet but don\u2019t seem to be making any progress at all. Mum talked about it with me yesterday and has said we need a more complete programme of food reduction and more exercise just as soon as we\u2019re together. This cannot possibly be good! Well, I don\u2019t mind the exercise bit.<\/p>\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>Looking back it turns out that Alfie could be naughty and Wilma is quite surprised.
