He said he hadn\u2019t really understood what was going to be happening to him. He looked longingly at Aristotle and as he looked across at me I just shrugged, \u201cHe might be losing his before long too, so I wouldn\u2019t get too envious!\u201d He spent most of the day chilling out feeling sorry for himself and says he is planning to spend today in much the same fashion if it\u2019s all the same to the rest of us. I was a little bit horrible to him, but Shadow had a word with me. It was along the lines of \u201cYou do that again to my son and I\u2019m going to make you regret it.\u201d Now, I\u2019ve known Shadow for a while and I know that when she says something like that she means it. I was nothing but courtesy to him after that, at least while Shadow was in the vicinity. Don\u2019t you just hate those kids that go running to their Mummies \u2018So and so wasn\u2019t very nice to me.\u2019? Well, it turns out that Amigo is one of those kids!<\/p>\n<p>I did hear from my buddy Tino the Rabbit, which cheered me up. At least it did until Amigo started boasting that he\u2019d met Tino. I didn\u2019t believe him, so I tried telling my Mistress that Amigo was telling lies and what do you know? Not only did I get told off for running and telling on Amigo, but it turns out he was telling the truth.<\/p>\n<p>I do have some bad news on the gardening front. You may remember we planted some fruit trees. There were five to be precise. I use \u2018were\u2019 advisedly. One started dying because it was above the water drainage and when we treated the shower plug hole with chemicals it started killing the tree. Anyway, that one was dug up and replanted and is doing fine. The Pear tree we all took turns to pee on seems to have died and doesn\u2019t look much as though there is any chance of recovery. It doesn\u2019t look quite as dead as the Cherry tree that Aristotle gnawed all the bark off, though. I think that one is definitely an ex-tree.<\/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<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Amigo has the most beautiful little row of stitches and is sulking.
