If all has gone to plan, sometime in the last few hours we will have moved onto our new software platform. You need to make sure your favourites are bookmarked to www.alfiedog.me.uk<\/a>so that you are in the right place. You\u2019ll have to let me know what you like and what you don\u2019t like about the new look so that I can make some changes. Do have a look round. I\u2019ve included some extra bits. There\u2019s a section now that tells you about our little pack and you can even find the examples of my t-shirts and sweatshirts direct from my pages. Better still, I\u2019ve selected a few things from Amazon for the discerning dog and owner and you might like to have a little look round my store. I\u2019ve put my favourite books and videos in. My Mistress said she thought she ought to have some say, but I said if I was doing it I wanted it to be the things I liked. I need to go back through all the older posts and add some categories and things and maybe a few photos to keep you amused, but basically I\u2019m happy with what I\u2019ve done. Until that is you tell me you don\u2019t like it, but I can take it. Constructive criticism is good for you, or so I keep telling my Mistress when there are things she could improve on, such as how much space she leaves for me in bed.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want my blog to look too commercial and as though I\u2019m only here to sell you things, but I want to prove that a dog can earn his own living, even as a writer. I\u2019ve might have been bred to herd cattle but there\u2019s nothing wrong with turning my abilities to more academic pursuits. I see it as the advance of canine civilization. That\u2019s not to say that I consider herding dogs to be less civilized, I save that prejudice for Poodles  and Jack Russells, I just think this is the natural progression from us all having to work on the land. It\u2019s the canine equivalent of the industrial revolution.<\/p>\n
