The sun shone some of the time and we had such fun. This is Ari and me sharing an ice cream. <a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/17062012327cropped.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6379\" title=\"17062012327cropped\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/17062012327cropped-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a>As you can see I\u2019m about to take a very large cold bite, while Ari politely licked round the edges. Poor Ari so wanted to take part, but try as my Mistress did, he wouldn\u2019t walk on the grass all the time to make it easier on his legs. By the end of the walk he was limping and is now really suffering for it. He\u2019s being very brave but he\u2019s taking his pain killers and my Mistress has said he can\u2019t ever come on a walk like that again. We can only take him for little walks, where he can\u2019t end up walking on the path. He shed a little tear, but nodded in agreement. I want to get a little cart that we can pull with him in the back, but he loves running around so much that I don\u2019t suppose he\u2019d ever stay in it. It\u2019s made my Mistress very sad to think he\u2019ll never get to see all the exciting places. I\u2019m sure we can find a way to do it. It\u2019s a pity he\u2019s too big for his rucksack that he had when he was a puppy. The one that my Mistress could carry him round in, but at 25kg I don\u2019t suppose she\u2019d manage it.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the marmalade is very much ok and we are all enjoying eating it. I told Ari that a spoon of marmalade was the best thing he could have to make his legs better. I\u2019m not sure he believed me at least it made him smile.<\/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>If only Megan could have come it would have been the perfect day, well that and if Ari\u2019s leg hadn\u2019t hurt.
