Alfie said so that I could still take part I could write about Aunty Megan when she was ten months old. This is from August 2010, which was the month that Aunty Megan moved to live with us here in England. I wish I could have lived with her too as I think we might have got on really well. This was before Aristotle was born too. He says he really loved Megan and hasn\u2019t completely got over her moving away. He says that\u2019s why he hasn\u2019t let himself get quite so close to me. It\u2019s because having a girlfriend is great, but it hurts when they\u2019ve gone. I felt quite sad for him then, but this isn\u2019t supposed to be about&nbsp; being sad, it\u2019s supposed to be the fun things we all do as pups. This is what Alfie wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/21082010014.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/21082010014-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Megan at 10 months\" class=\"wp-image-11716\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Megan at 10 months<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018The three of us dogs have developed our<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>own version of rugby. It\u2019s a sort of two on one version of the game. Megan is very good. She charges off carrying something and we have to try to catch her. She isn\u2019t any faster than we are, but she is better at cornering, something that I have never completely mastered. Anyway, she has also learnt and has a natural talent for selling a dummy and it is confusing both me and Shadow in a quite remarkable way. At this rate neither of us stand an earthly chance of bringing her down and making off with the prize. The prize can vary from a ball to a stick, a twig or anything else that we can find. It\u2019s great fun. Simple entertainment is always the best. We are developing our three way tug skills too, although my Mistress is a bit concerned that we make too much noise when we play that.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mum&nbsp;looked at Megan&#8217;s photo and said how alike we look at that age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3236.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/IMG_3236-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Wilma at 10 months\" class=\"wp-image-11687\"\/><\/a><figcaption>Wilma at 10 months<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\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>Happy Monday everyone.
