I\u2019m one year old today. I need to wish happy birthday to my brothers and sisters too. Have a happy birthday Wanda, Wendelin, Winston and Woodstock. I hope you are all as happy as I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went for a lovely long walk yesterday with one of Shadow\u2019s children, Dixie. Dixie is a couple of months younger than I am and we got on really well. She is so good looking and well behaved. Mum hopes she may go on to have puppies of her own when she\u2019s older, which would be lovely. We met a Doberman boy who was about our age too and had loads of fun. He really liked me and I have to say I thought he was all right too. Mum pointed out that I seem to think most boys are all right and flirt with<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3656.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3656-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dixie, Wilma and Shadow\" class=\"wp-image-11967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3656-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3656-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3656-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/IMG_3656.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dixie, Wilma and Shadow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>them all. I don\u2019t know what she means! Even Shadow was wiggling her bottom more than usual as she walked. I think she was forgetting that at seven years old he was more likely to notice her daughter and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I shall go for a special birthday walk with Mum later today and she has promised to play with me in the garden too. Then tonight I don\u2019t have to go to dog training, but am being taken out for a birthday meal instead. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m actually supposed to be eating in the pub, but at least I\u2019m not being left at home on my birthday. Mum and Dad are meeting an old friend for the evening. I don\u2019t really know what he\u2019ll make of me going, but I\u2019m glad that Mum doesn\u2019t want to leave me out. To be fair, she never wants to leave me out but has to sometimes. She\u2019s much happier when I\u2019m there to look after her.<\/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>It\u2019s my birthday.
