Well here I am with another Friday flashback. Today I\u2019m looking right back to when Alfie was young. It\u2019s nice to realise he was just the same as the rest of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am proud to say I have learnt a number of new things over the last few days. Some of them even seem to be the things my mistress wanted me to learn. That cannot be said for discovering that if she closes the stair gate at the top of the stairs to stop me going down, I can squeeze through the banister rails and by jumping just a couple of stairs I can still get down. Apparently this is dangerous and I could end up having a serious accident. The good news is that rather than assume that I will take any notice of this \u2018little talk\u2019 my mistress has told the master that she thinks the safest thing is that they stop closing the stair gate. So once again victory to the dog! I have also learnt that if I push a door, that doesn\u2019t have a catch with my nose, it will open. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes it much harder for me to be shut in or out as the case may be. This would be victory to the dog except I have to remember to do it really gently as head butting a door that has a catch can be quite painful, as can head butting the glass doors in the lounge! The one that it seems I was supposed to learn and is working out quite well is that if I want a cuddle I have to ask nicely rather than jump up. I was worried at first that if I just went and sat next to them they might not notice me or wouldn\u2019t know what I wanted but all I have to do is gently tap them with my paw and look all sweet and it works every time. It is great being an irresistible puppy with big brown eyes. I wonder if it will still work when I get older?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well that\u2019s all of the flashback. I\u2019m on my travels again. Last night I stayed with my grandparents. Much as they love me, I find it really hard to settle there. It all goes back to Grandpa\u2019s hearing aid making a high pitched noise and I\u2019ve never really got over it. Anyway, I\u2019m on my way to France today so I shall tell you all about it later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Have a great Friday<\/p>\n\n\n\n Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wilma<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a9 2018 Rosemary J.
