This is a quarter of the year gone and what have I achieved? The girls have been to training and had various health tests for breeding. I\u2019m just Alfie. I don\u2019t get to take part in breeding. I don\u2019t get to go to Discover Dogs. I guess I\u2019m feeling a little bit sorry for myself. I\u2019ve been prepared to roll over fro anyone until recently, but I\u2019ve reached that time in life where I refuse to be pushed around any longer and have decided I\u2019m going to be top dog in this house. Of course that is until the girls simply pin me down and tell me otherwise. The final straw was watching how close to my Mistress Megan was getting. My Mistress is first and foremost MY Mistress. I am willing to share but only a little bit of her, the rest is mine and it\u2019s going to stay that way. I\u2019ve never really asserted myself before. It has been a strange feeling. It has involved a bit of barking and quite a lot of standing my ground. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m a nicer dog for it, so I\u2019m not sure it will last. In the meantime, I am getting more of my Mistress to myself, which has to be a good thing. I even got to finish Shadow\u2019s food yesterday and that is a real bonus.<\/p>\n

I think my objectives for the next quarter of the year will be to maintain the position of top dog and maybe get one of my books published on Kindle too. To be quite honest, I think I may be better suited to the life of a writer than I am as being a leader. It\u2019s an altogether more passive existence and involves much more thinking time, usually while napping.<\/p>\n
