Hers was one of the biggest classes for the girls and as expected she wasn\u2019t placed. She would have done better but for her bad leg, but given it was her first ever show neither she nor our Mistress were too disappointed. She did say she had a great time meeting some lovely dogs, including some very handsome boys. Our Mistress tried out her German on some of her German friends and it is improving, but it\u2019s fair to say it is going to be some time before she\u2019s fluent and she was glad that so many people speak good English. She remembered a little bit of her Dutch from when we lived in Belgium, but not enough to string more than a few words together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/01a8cb62de2bae08df42a5e6252aebf14dc7e2f6f9.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-10163\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/01a8cb62de2bae08df42a5e6252aebf14dc7e2f6f9-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"01a8cb62de2bae08df42a5e6252aebf14dc7e2f6f9\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\"><\/a>There were some wonderful&nbsp; carts there being pulled by Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs and Bernese Mountain Dogs Shadow said she would like to have a chance of pulling just a little cart, but with her bed leg that may not be able to happen any time soon.<\/p>\n<p>When it all finished she went back to the hotel to put her paws up and get ready for her trip home today. She\u2019s calling in on my sister Esther and her family on her way home tomorrow. I only hope Shadow gets on better with Esther than I do. I think she\u2019ll like my niece, Marie, though.<\/p>\n<p>There is nothing exciting happening here without them. The sweet potatoes now look as though they have died from cold completely, so that\u2019s one less vegetable to look after. For future reference I think our Mistress should pay more attention to what crops actually like growing this far north or put a greenhouse in. Her optimism on the benefits of global warming seem to be a little misplaced.<\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/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>Shadow had a wonderful day out at the Dutch Club 40th Anniversary show yesterday.
