How can she go on a conference and spend time talking to people about my company and not take me with her. Is the company named after her? No, I don\u2019t think it is. It\u2019s named after me. It\u2019s my name that appears everywhere not hers. Oh, it\u2019s all very well her telling me that people have asked after me, but they could have done that in person, or more to the point in dog, if I had been there myself. Instead of which, I am spending my week with an over excited two-year \u2013old! (Wilma, in case you hadn\u2019t worked that out on your own!) She is counting the days off until she sees her aunt Megan. I haven\u2019t the heart to tell her that Megan didn\u2019t like me and was jealous of me. I haven\u2019t mentioned the fact that it was my girlfriend who bit a chunk out of Megan\u2019s ear either. Those were the days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Babeli.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Babeli-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Babeli-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Babeli-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Babeli-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Babeli.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Babeli<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking of my girlfriend, I don\u2019t think I told you that one of her puppies is staying to live with her. I do wish I could meet her and be a step-dad to her, she really does look lovely. She\u2019s called Babeli, which was the name of one of the very early dogs of our breed in Switzerland. It really is such a beautiful name and I\u2019m sure she will grow up to be as gorgeous as her mother. What is extra special is that she gets to grow up with our Mistress\u2019s god-daughter and they will have such a lovely time together. They are already incredibly close and it\u2019s simply beautiful to see them together. It take me back to when I was a puppy and Andrew was still only small. Although that also reminds me of the time I accidentally knocked him over and the time he cut his back on barbed wire coming under a fence after me \u2013 so maybe Babeli shouldn\u2019t take too much advice from me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find short stories to read at&nbsp;<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&nbsp;<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>I spoke to our Mistress earlier and it really isn\u2019t fair.
