I found myself skipping round the office for no apparent reason. I couldn\u2019t resist playing with her and we had an amazing chase round the garden together. I have to say it did really cheer me up, I\u2019d been a right misery yesterday morning. We were waiting for a delivery so my Mistress was later walking Megan than she normally is. Normally after Megan\u2019s walk I have a couple of hours with my Mistress while Megan sits in the other room, but yesterday that didn\u2019t happen. In the end I was making a complete nuisance of myself crying in the kitchen. There is no point when you are upset blubbing quietly, that doesn\u2019t get you any attention, so I whimpered and blubbered quite noisily with the end result that rather than the sympathy I was expecting or at least hoping for, my Mistress got cross with me for being so unhelpful. She\u2019s a hard woman. Then I sat blubbing because she\u2019d got cross with me. As it turned out the delivery wasn\u2019t going to come anyway and is now scheduled for Friday so I may have to go through it all again. This time I shall try to me a bit more manly and not blubber all day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/A-Litter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-8106\" alt=\"A Litter\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/A-Litter.jpg\" width=\"2516\" height=\"1531\"><\/a>Today\u2019s picture is of Aristotle with his mum and his sisters.
