At 3.20 this morning it was Megan who woke us. I think she must have been having a nightmare. She was shaking when my Mistress went down to give her a cuddle. Anyway, after that Ari wouldn\u2019t settle again so we ended up sleeping downstairs with him, which he thought was a great wheeze. Having brought a duvet downstairs my Mistress has concluded that it would be a shame not to use it for the rest of the day so has stationed herself on the couch and asked us to play quietly.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5714\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5714\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Aristotle-0022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5714\" title=\"Aristotle 002\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/Aristotle-0022-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5714\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ari waiting to play tug<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We\u2019ve been playing tug with an old rope and it really is very difficult to do that quietly.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s particularly cold outside this morning. Ari has learnt that you can\u2019t drink from a frozen bird bath and that it is a very odd feeling when your tongue is on ice. He says he won\u2019t be doing it again in a hurry. It\u2019s cold under-paw too, but we aren\u2019t provided with nice cosy sheepskin lined slippers to go out in. Not that I\u2019m jealous. Although I am definitely jealous my Ari\u2019s new Mr Happy toy. He\u2019s great. I\u2019ll try to take their photo together later. He only gets it to play with when he has been good and done all his toileting outside. It\u2019s his reward as he isn\u2019t so keen on nibbles between meals. I\u2019m not allowed to play with Mr Happy. I suppose I shouldn\u2019t have been so quick to learn my toilet training and then I could have had one. Yet again it proves that it doesn\u2019t pay to be good.<\/p>\n<p>Alfie Dog with a little help from Rosemary J Kind&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:alfie@alfiedog.me.uk\">alfie@alfiedog.me.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>It wasn\u2019t the best of nights, my Mistress wasn\u2019t feeling well so we went to bed early and had the baby monitor on to hear <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2011\/12\/17\/saturday-17th-december-2011-shh-were-sleeping\/\" title=\"Saturday 17th December 2011 Shh we\u2019re sleeping\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[63,10],"class_list":["post-5713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-wisdom-and-experience","tag-aristotle","tag-megan","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5713","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\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
