I was supposed to write the diary yesterday. I\u2019m sulking just a little bit because Alfie forgot<\/p>\n

to let me. He wanted to write today\u2019s too because he was so excited about getting a 5* review on Amazon about his Alfie\u2019s Woods book. I promised if he let me write it that I would tell you about it for him. It says \u201cThis is a real feel good book that will make you smile all the way though. Alfie and Rosemary have invented some really interesting characters and the setting for the book is just wonderful as seen through young Alfie’s eyes. You can’t wait to find out what will happen next to Alfie and his new friends as they set off finding one adventure after another in their beloved woods. Highly recommended!\u201d Even I was impressed by that!<\/p>\n

Anyway, enough of Alfie, it\u2019s my turn. I\u2019m teething. Don\u2019t you just hate it? I feel the need to chew on things constantly. I\u2019ve got teething toys but I tend to prefer dog chews or failing that an arm, leg, or the side of my plastic bed. The humans moan when it\u2019s their arm. I can\u2019t think why. I rarely leave holes that are very deep. It\u2019s not my fault my gums are sore. My Mistress says a little whisky rubbed on them might help but she thinks I\u2019m too young to start on the whisky. Why suggest it if she isn\u2019t going to let me try? That just seems plain mean.<\/p>\n

I woke up feeling sick this morning. I wretched for long enough to get my Mistress\u2019s attention and as soon as she picked me up I said I was feeling ok. It meant we had to go outside though and then got to spend the rest of the night all cuddled up on the sofa, so it was definitely worth it.<\/p>\n

Alfie might have to have an operation. His anal glands are just not improving. It\u2019s very unpleasant for all of us. It\u2019s bad for him because they hurt but for the rest of us because he smells!<\/p>\n

Sorry, I\u2019ve got to go. I\u2019ve got a burning urge to chase my tail.<\/p>\n
