Of course it was Shadow\u2019s seventh birthday and we all sang happy birthday to her, but it was also the training of judges for our breed and I got to take part. There was a big presentation in the morning where the judges learnt all about our breed and where we are from and then in the afternoon they had to assess six of us and write up comments on what we were like. I took part in the afternoon and everyone said that although I\u2019m still only a puppy I look really good and they all think I\u2019m going to grow into a lovely dog. Mum, I know you\u2019re reading this, well our Mistress says you can be very proud of your daughter.<\/p>\n<p>Shadow got to see three of her children, including Leo (D\u2019Artagnan) from her last litter<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11345\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11345\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_2763.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11345\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11345\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_2763-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Leo and Shadow\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11345\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Leo and Shadow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>and he\u2019s doing really well and was just lovely. Our Mistress says when the weather improves we can all go and meet up and go for a walk. I saw Salvo who I spent some of my time with growing up in Switzerland before I came to England and we had a lovely roll about together. There were some very handsome boys there today too which was really nice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11346\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11346\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_2768.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11346\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11346\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_2768-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dickens\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11346\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dickens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Then I went to meet my human paternal grandparents which was pretty cool too. I was really well behaved, but that was partly because I was so tired after the excitement of the day. If all the judges in the show world were as nice as the ones today I think I might quite enjoy having a little go at showing. They said I need to be a little more controlled in learning to present myself. I have to stand more nicely and learn to run in a way that shows how pretty I am, but our Mistress says all that will come with a little bit of practice.<\/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 Wilma here and yesterday was just amazing.
