Shadow\u2019s season started yesterday after I\u2019d posted my diary. It was so funny. Our Mistress had gone ahead and emailed a reproduction vet for an appointment only for Shadow to start twelve hours later. Anyway, plans are in place and rolling and they will set off for Switzerland next Monday. In fairness to Shadow she has managed to pick quite a reasonable time between some activities. Today is my Master and Mistress\u2019s wedding anniversary and our Mistress is quite pleased to be here for it. Shadow is going to have a progesterone test on Monday morning before they set off and will get the result the following day while they are travelling. She may have another when she gets there depending on what it says. At least it means that any puppies will not be born on Ari\u2019s birthday but a few days later. I of course am not looking forward to being without our Mistress for a week or so, but on the bright side she won\u2019t need to go away without me after this for a long time. This will be Shadow\u2019s final litter so we really hope everything goes well.<\/p>\n<p>On a completely different subjects you might like to vote in a survey being run by Sainsbury\u2019s Bank <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sainsburysbank.co.uk\/money-matters\/cats-versus-dogs-prize-draw.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>. They want to know which are best, dogs or cats. Now I know that you and I think the answer to that is obvious, but there may be people out there who don\u2019t know the correct answer to the question. There is a prize \u00a3250 to spend in Sainsbury\u2019s if you win \u2013 and I will forgive you if you spend just a little of it on me.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had to go swimming two weeks running. I fell downstairs the day after I fell upstairs so our Mistress thought a good swim might do me good. I really must learn to pick my feet up or I\u2019m going to be swimming far too often!<\/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>Ok, it\u2019s all happening.
