I haven\u2019t done anything to deserve the reaction I get, but every time she sees me she attacks me and I don\u2019t just mean she calls me names! The problem is that with four of us we stop behaving completely like domesticated pets and at times like this an element of pack behaviour creeps in. In the wild because she doesn\u2019t like me and she\u2019s the more dominant dog, then one of two things would happen. Either I would be killed, which does not bear thinking about or I would be driven out of the pack and have to fend for myself or find another pack. I can understand how miserable that would make me in the wild as it feels a bit like that now. The only redeeming feature is that I\u2019m getting lots of quiet private cuddles from my Mistress as she tries to work out what she can do. It may still be partly that Megan is hormonal following her season, but I can\u2019t take much more. It\u2019s causing me too much stress and at times I\u2019m getting hurt. I do all the submissive things so that she will leave me alone but that\u2019s not enough for her. My Mistress has said I should fight back, but that\u2019s confusing as she brought me up to turn the other cheek and I don\u2019t really know how to fight back. I spent yesterday sitting quietly on my own but I can\u2019t face that carrying on for too long. I\u2019m just hoping that my Mistress can think of a solution as I miss being with her and it\u2019s not fair when you\u2019re the innocent one.<\/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 had to sit down with my Mistress yesterday and ask her if there is anything, anything at all she can do about the problems <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2013\/09\/04\/wednesday-4th-september-2013-things-are-not-going-well\/\" title=\"Wednesday 4th September 2013 &#8211; Things are not going well\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[10],"class_list":["post-8004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-wisdom-and-experience","tag-megan","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004","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=8004"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8004\/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=8004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
