For all my life since I came to live with Mum she has mistakenly called me Megan on lots of occasions and now, finally I am going to meet her. Everyone says we look quite similar and now is our chance to find out whether that\u2019s just in photos or whether it is in real life too. Mum has said I mustn\u2019t get too excited as Megan is not a young dog anymore and may not want to bounce quite as much as I do. Shadow is looking forward to seeing her as well. They spent a lot of time together when they were younger and although they did fight some of the time, on the whole they were good friends and used to run around the garden quite madly. Megan is eight months younger than Shadow so she\u2019s nearly eight-years-old now. Mum is already both excited and nervous about seeing Megan. They were very close years ago and I know Mum still thinks about her a lot and misses her. She knows that Megan will remember her, but has no idea how pleased she will be to see her. We\u2019ve got to be patient for a couple of weeks yet, but I know for our Mistress it will be the highlight of her trip and I have to remember not to feel jealous at all. I\u2019ve promised to be there for Mum after she has to say goodbye to Megan as I am also aware of how hard she may find that, but we\u2019ll cheer her up when the time comes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4850.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4850-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4850-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4850-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4850-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IMG_4850.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I know Ari told you that Mum is away right now but when he said she was having a week without dogs, that wasn\u2019t quite true.
