It means I can spend the day in bed next to her. Aristotle and I took it in turns to nuzzle up to her and check she was ok and curl up with our heads strategically placed so we could react at a moment\u2019s invitation. She insisted on listening to an audio book while lying there and it wasn\u2019t to my taste, but I guess you can\u2019t have everything. She\u2019s off to the doctor\u2019s today so hopefully she will be on the mend soon. It was nice to be back to being just the two of us with her and the girls downstairs. Four of us vying for position on the bed gets a bit much. For me it was good re-bonding time with Aristotle, I\u2019ve felt he\u2019s been siding with the girls too much recently and I was missing having him as a companion. He\u2019s not a bad sort really, it\u2019s just that he always wants to impress Megan. He needs to wake up to the fact that she isn\u2019t his girlfriend whatever he might think. I\u2019ve told him he deserves better. She goes off and has relationships with other dogs and he\u2019s just supposed to overlook them and pretend it doesn\u2019t hurt. I\u2019ve told him, somewhere out there is a girl who would be faithful to him. It\u2019s just a question of meeting her. He pointed out that I hadn\u2019t exactly succeeded on that score but I like to think of my Mistress as my soul mate and the only one in the world I need. Dogs can be overrated. It\u2019s not as though I can have puppies and I\u2019d never find a girl who was always ready to scratch behind my ear just the way I like.<\/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>I know I shouldn\u2019t say this but I like it when my Mistress is so poorly that she has to spend the day in bed. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2013\/07\/22\/monday-22nd-july-2013-lazy-sunday-afternoon\/\" title=\"Monday 22nd July 2013 &#8211; Lazy Sunday afternoon\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5659,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[63,10,27],"class_list":["post-7880","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-wisdom-and-experience","tag-aristotle","tag-megan","tag-shadow","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7880","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=7880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7880\/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=7880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
