I couldn\u2019t go with her as with it having been my season I would smell too interesting to the boys. I stayed here overnight last night and am here all day today. It\u2019s ok as I stayed here for about 6 weeks when I was little so I know my way round, but I do miss Mum. What is really cool is that there are 15 puppies here at the moment including ones named Aisha (like Shadow\u2019s real name), Alfie and Ari. It almost feels like being at home, except puppy Ari doesn\u2019t cause as much trouble as our Ari does. Mum says it\u2019s only a matter of time until he does! Feeding time for 15 is slightly crazy and Mum said she had to be really careful not to step on any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow\u2019s gone with our Mistress to see the breeding test that the dogs in Switzerland go<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3147.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_3147-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Feeding time for fifteen puppies\" class=\"wp-image-11617\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Feeding time for fifteen puppies<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>through. I think she\u2019s hoping to get to see some of her boyfriends. I was hoping to see my birth parents, but I\u2019ll have to do that another time. I might get to see my Mamma and birth humans on Monday, so that wouldn\u2019t be so bad, but I shan\u2019t get chance to see my Papa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that is good about today is not spending all day in the car. Yesterday was a lot of driving and it was a bit tiring. I don\u2019t have to have lots of time in the car again until Tuesday and I\u2019m happy about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We did have some really bad news yesterday. We went to try to get Alfie\u2019s favourite biscuits and the shop has closed. Mum was really upset as she always goes and stocks up. I think she is going to see if she can find another one to go to instead. If she doesn\u2019t have malt and vanilla biscuits to take home Alfie will be really disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\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>I\u2019m having a day with Mum\u2019s friends in Switzerland today.
