It\u2019s still quite a search, but it\u2019s definitely there. When she started her diet she weighed in at 25.5kg now she is down to a very respectable 23.2kg. How good is that? She now realistically thinks she can be down to under 23kg in time for going into the show ring in just over a week\u2019s time. She is very happy as when she qualified for Crufts some while ago that was the negative comment the judge made, that she could do with losing a little weight. Now she\u2019s just sorry that it won\u2019t be the same judge as she wants to go back and show how well she\u2019s done. She is actually looking pretty good and, as long as nothing goes wrong between now and then, is set to do herself proud. I will be one very happy son cheering her on when she\u2019s there. I shan\u2019t actually be going myself, but I shall be eagerly waiting for news and looking forward to seeing the photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4180.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4180-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4180-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4180-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4180-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4180.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Alfie looking all gentle and sleepy<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie went to the vet again yesterday. His neck is hurting and he\u2019s holding his head all hunched and his ear at a funny angle, but we can\u2019t actually find out what\u2019s wrong. He\u2019s got a couple of days of extra pain killers to try and get him through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My little sister, Cinders has been sending some reviews to Wilma for her travel section. It\u2019s coming along nicely. You can see all the locations she\u2019s covered so far on the map <a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/travel\/travel-map-of-locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a>. One of the places that Cinders has reported on is the first one to be awarded a six bone rating. Now we all want to go to stay at The Deer Park Country Hotel in Devon as it sounds amazing. Don\u2019t forget, all you dogs can send your hotel reviews in to Wilma to be included on the site. We are hoping to build up quite a selection as time goes on. Wilma is adding at least one every day at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a happy Saturday<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aristotle<\/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>Now after all the rude things we\u2019ve all said, it is only fair to tell you that my Mum, Shadow, has found her waist.
