You know what it\u2019s like when you really feel like working. There I was wanting to herd everybody and everything we met on our walk. There was Mum repeatedly explaining to me that it was not appropriate behaviour. At one point she even said she should get me some cows of my own, which really perked me up, until I realised she wasn\u2019t serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t have these urges every time we go out. I can be very good, but every so often I just feel the need to herd. Other than that it was a lovely walk, although Mum complained about the cold wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shadow is stable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow seems to be stable. She had another quiet day yesterday but said she did feel much better than the day before. Mum is being awfully strict with her and isn\u2019t allowing her out with us to eat any apples. I guess it\u2019s for the best. I was less convinced when Mum spent some more time clearing up the fallen apples. Then I tried the old \u2018but the birds need them\u2019 routine. Sadly Mum was one paw ahead of me on that one and is simply moving them to the bird table in the front garden where the birds can have them, but we can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cherry Bushes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The four cherry bushes are in. Uncle Aristotle and I got Mum to help us finish the job yesterday morning. They don\u2019t look much and Mum did put one in the wrong place which Ari was not best pleased about. He barked that he\u2019d shown her where to dig the hole. She said she didn\u2019t think it would do it any good to be dug up again and moved and he\u2019d have to make do. He\u2019s worried it hasn\u2019t got enough space to grow to full size. I may not have helped when I said getting them to grow from the twigs they are now would be a good start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_1214-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG_1214-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27042\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wilma is a frustrated cattle herder.
