Of course you probably think I\u2019m referring to my twelfth birthday which is now less than two weeks away. I do think that\u2019s important, but it\u2019s not the only reason it will be a big month. Four days after my birthday is Grandpa\u2019s 92<sup>nd<\/sup> birthday which is an even bigger event than me making it to the age of 12. Even in human years mine will only be 84 the same as Granny. It will take me another year and a bit to catch up with Grandpa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I really meant, was it\u2019s our Mistress\u2019s first ever book launch party. On Wednesday November 15<sup>th<\/sup> at 7pm in Waterstones in York it will be the official party to launch New York Orphan. If you can make it then you\u2019ll get a free glass of wine, be able to hear all about the book and buy a signed copy. Places are limited, so do let us know if you are coming. When I say \u2018us\u2019, I really mean our Mistress as even though with my new tablets I\u2019m doing much better I don\u2019t think I will be allowed to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are quite a lot of other things going on this month too, including Wilma going to London to represent me in a meet up the Top UK Pet Bloggers. Which reminds me, our Mistress was interviewed about me writing my diary by the people who gave us the award. You can find the interview <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/blog\/blogger-spotlight-rosemary-kind-alfies-diary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HERE<\/a> I\u2019m not absolutely sure I understand why it was our Mistress answering the questions and not me, but sometimes you just have to accept that humans take the credit for the things we dogs do. Annoying as it is, we\u2019re far too loyal to complain too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have a lovely day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie<\/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>November is a big month in our family.
