When I say \u2018we\u2019, essentially I mean I am less hyperactive and not winding Alfie up. Our Mistress says she is grateful that she can get on with things a little better, but at one point yesterday she said it was so quiet she almost wondered if we were still there. I suppose after me being hyperactive for a couple of months it must seem strange to have me behaving like a normal dog again. Alfie says he\u2019s very grateful too. He\u2019s gone away for the weekend with our Mistress leaving me and Shadow in charge of our Master. At least I think it\u2019s supposed to be that way round, but I\u2019m not entirely sure. Our Mistress has gone to see her family and Alfie said he\u2019d like to go with her, so she gave in and said yes. I said I\u2019d like to go too, but she was able to be strong and tell me I couldn\u2019t . Life can be so unfair.<\/p>\n<p>Just in case you looked at the photo gallery and then found some of the features had disappeared. I didn\u2019t break it. Honestly, it wasn\u2019t me. We\u2019ve had a problem with the software we\u2019re using and it\u2019s being fixed. Fortunately it happened when Alfie was working on it, otherwise I just know I\u2019d be the one getting the blame.<\/p>\n<p>The odd things you have to do in the garden. It was only by reading another friend\u2019s Facebook status that our Mistress understood she may need to pollinate the pumpkins. She was last seen, &nbsp;before going away, out in the back garden trying to identify male and female flowers so she could give them a helping hand. This is not one of the jobs she has left to me for while she is away, but I really can\u2019t understand why not!<\/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>Now Mum\u2019s (Shadow) hormones are calming down we\u2019re all a bit quieter.
