They actually managed to take a lovely photo of all four of us together. Our Mistress was thrilled as she has not yet managed to get the four of us to pose nicely in one place. They post some lovely photos so do give them a \u2018like\u2019 on Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/derringskennels\/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>. I can completely recommend staying there too, we really like it and have a great time.<\/p>\n<p>I should perhaps have started by wishing a happy Valentine\u2019s Day to all my girlfriends. Alfie is upset because he has forgotten to send Bella a card. I said he should relax and not limit himself to just the one, but he says he\u2019s an old-fashioned sort of a dog and there really is only one girl for him. I think it\u2019s sweet, but a complete waste of time, particular when we can\u2019t even have puppies! He\u2019s actually a walking, or more to the point hobbling, advert for Pedigree Jointcare bars at the moment. Our usual supermarket has stopped stocking them so we\u2019ve run out. We ran out on Tuesday and already Alfie is complaining of more discomfort and doesn\u2019t want to go for walks. Our Mistress has something new to try for us, but having seen the effect on Alfie I think she will be finding a new supplier of the bars we like very quickly. Sometimes you have to stop taking something for a while to remind yourself just how much good it\u2019s doing you. I wonder whether that is why my behaviour has been worse again this week. Our Mistress had just put it down to me being an annoying dog, but I might try suggesting it\u2019s because of something she hasn\u2019t bought for me. I wonder if I can get away with it.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget you have until the 20<sup>th<\/sup> to enter the competition to win free tickets to Crufts.
