Today our Master is off to start the beginning of the next adventure. This time is very weird as we aren\u2019t all going at the moment. It\u2019s even more weird for me, as I will never be going. I gave up travelling a while ago and so I will only see him on his occasional trips back to England. It\u2019s going to be hard. I\u2019m going to miss him. He\u2019s going to miss me too. Our Mistress will be taking him to the station and dropping him with his suitcases. She was going to drive him to the airport, but the weather is bad so they have decided the train will be better. Once he\u2019s gone she is going to come home and sit down with us all and have a big cuddle, and maybe a little cry as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We just want to tell him, we\u2019re really proud of him and we all love him very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hoppig<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Obviously our Master can\u2019t pack one of us to go with him but our Mistress did have a brand new Hoppig stuffed toy waiting in the wardrobe for him. It\u2019s the toy from Ikea that looks just like one of us. She put it ready for him to pack on his case and then Wilma ran off with it. Our Mistress got it back for him before any harm was done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Snow<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_5446-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14277\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_5446-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_5446-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_5446-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/IMG_5446.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Our Master did spend some time yesterday starting to get acclimatised for the weather he can expect to find in Switzerland. Wilma was beside herself with excitement that we\u2019d actually got our first proper snow of the winter. To be fair, we all had a little play in it and remembered what it means to be a mountain dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I\u2019m off to curl up and think about our Master and all the good times we\u2019ve had together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie<\/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\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 2018 Rosemary J.
