Alfie\u2019s fine, but he\u2019s still taking the weekend off as normal. He says he\u2019s planning to spend as much of the weekend as possible helping our Mistress in the kitchen! No prizes for guessing why. Anyway, today is the day you\u2019ve been waiting for, it\u2019s the result of the competition to win a mirror from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.petmirrors.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.petmirrors.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2026 massive drum roll\u2026 and the winner is \u2026 Digby the Mini Schnauzer with a little bit of help from his human, Aimee. We\u2019ll send your details to the lovely people at Petmirrors so they can arrange to send you your prize. When you get it, please send us a photo of you with your pet mirror so we can put it in the diary.<\/p>\n<p>Shadow is very excited at the moment. She has persuaded our humans to take her to Devon so she can see her puppies who live down there. It\u2019s not for a few months, so she hopes there is enough time that they might all be able to make it. Soggeli (Annette), Cracker and Otto (Chekov) all live in Devon and there are others on the south coast too, some of whom may be able to go. Wilma\u2019s really excited as Shadow has said she can go too and she won\u2019t feel left out as there will be others who aren\u2019t family too. I\u2019m just a bit fed up that I shan\u2019t be going to see my brothers and sisters, but I\u2019ve got to stay at home and look after Alfie. She will see some of her other puppies next weekend too as she\u2019s going to help with running a seminar all about our breed. It\u2019s mainly to train judges so they know all about us when they meet us in the show ring. Dickens (Bumble), Basil (Beethoven) and Leo (D\u2019Artagnan) will be there. Alfie\u2019s fed up as his girlfriend will be there, but he\u2019s not going. I told him we\u2019d have a boys\u2019 weekend at home, but oddly that didn\u2019t seem to cheer him up. I would have thought my company would have been far better than Bella\u2019s but apparently he doesn\u2019t see it that way.<\/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>It\u2019s Ari here again.
