I think my Mistress has finally given up on the prospect of having any real summer and so she had ordered some winter jumpers, which arrived yesterday. They are very nice jumpers, that wasn\u2019t the depressing part. The problem was that she is thinking about jumpers at all when I\u2019m still vaguely dreaming of sunshine and it being dry underpaw outside.<\/p>\n<p>Today by contrast is a very important day. Not only is it the start of our activity holiday, but Shadow is having her ultrasound scan this morning. I\u2019m trying to occupy myself so that I don\u2019t get too anxious. There is only so long I can sit and chew my claws and pace up and down. Not at the same time you understand. My Mistress is very concerned. She knows she will be upset if it turns out Shadow isn\u2019t pregnant, but is crossing her fingers that all is well.<\/p>\n<p>To keep me occupied I\u2019ve been starting to set up a website for our \u2018kennels\u2019. I\u2019ve done the basic design and written my page so far. I know I\u2019m not part of the breeding programme, but I didn\u2019t want to feel left out and I did want to be able to tell everyone a little bit about my mum and dad too, just so they know where we all fit in. I\u2019ve talked to both Megan and Shadow about the sorts of things I think they should write and they are making some notes so that they can sit down and write it out later. I\u2019ll help them with the grammar and some of the difficult words, but it will be basically their own work. I think it\u2019s important that when someone is choosing a puppy they can get to know the character of the parents.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll let you know later about Shadow.<\/p>\n<p>Alfie Dog with a little help from Rosemary J Kind <a href=\"mailto:alfie@alfiedog.me.uk\">alfie@alfiedog.me.u<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA\">https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Yesterday was depressing.
