When our Mistress looked after the first litter she was really worried that there was something wrong with them. She has since learned that they just look like that when we are born and while we\u2019re crawling on them before they start to develop into little paws. They look really cute at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly the meal times are moving a little further apart. As the pups get bigger and their tummies grow they can take on more food at once and then have a slightly longer break while they process it. Can you imagine if you got to my age and still needed to eat every hour? Of course it would be nice to have the opportunity, but that is denied to me. Anyway, the pups did need that at the start. They take \u2018little and often\u2019 to a whole new level of perfection. They have now spaced their eating out to being about every hour and a half and it won\u2019t be long before they move to two hourly feeds. It\u2019s ok as long as they all want to eat at the same time, otherwise it can get a bit more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Ari will be home shortly. I said I\u2019d get this out of the way before he got back so that he can have some quality time with our Mistress and meeting his brother and sisters. I wish him luck to be honest. Shadow had one of her \u2018moments\u2019 again earlier and bit me. I only hope it doesn\u2019t descend into chaos when Ari gets here. It\u2019s been a long week so I\u2019m going to take the weekend off and let Ari tell you his thoughts. I know he\u2019ll be excited and have lots to tell you.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s video is <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jxznVZvozyk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">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<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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>When we are born our feet look like little club feet.
