At last I can show you my portrait. Isn\u2019t it absolutely amazing? It has been done by a lovely friend of Mum\u2019s called Andy. The best bit is this, he\u2019s said that if any of you would like your portrait done he\u2019ll do it for you too. He only asks for a donation to cover the postage for the actual picture and the materials he uses to do the portrait. He\u2019s brilliant.  If you do want your portrait, the instructions are on the page. All you need to do is to send him a suitable photo of yourself and make a donation using Paypal. Send him an email first so he can tell you where you are on the list. If you get in quickly he doesn\u2019t have a very long waiting list at the moment, and you could have an absolutely pawsome picture like mine! I think it\u2019s really exciting and I\u2019m going to tell all my friends about it. I\u2019m one very lucky puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shadow is a very happy dog at the moment too. She got a real surprise on Saturday when her human, James, visited us. James was Shadow\u2019s human for the first four or more years of her life. He doesn\u2019t live with us anymore so she doesn\u2019t see him very often. She was so very happy and smiled for ages afterwards. There are people out there who still don\u2019t get that dogs have as good a memory as humans and care just as much. If you\u2019d seem Shadow you certainly wouldn\u2019t doubt it. What was really hard was that to begin with Alfie didn\u2019t recognise him. Then when Mum got Alfie to go right up to James and smell him, he realised who he was and was pleased to see him too. She says it\u2019s all part of the problems Alfie is having in life now, which is really hard to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, don\u2019t forget you can have your portrait drawn and please, if you do, send us a picture so we can show everyone how great your portrait is too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilma<\/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>Hello everyone it\u2019s a very excited Wilma here.
