They had their supper at 10pm last night and didn\u2019t ask for breakfast until 4am. To be fair at 4am only one of them was asking for breakfast, but he woke everyone else. He didn\u2019t go for the quiet polite \u2018Please, may I have my breakfast?\u2019 approach. It was more your raucous \u2018I want food and I want it now\u2019 type of one puppy riot. It didn\u2019t stop them all deciding they wanted a second breakfast at 7am so we are fully expecting some good weight gains again. I know today is Arnold\u2019s turn and I\u2019ll come back to him in a minute, but I had to share a photo of Aristotle with Megan. My Mistress was giving Aristotle a little cuddle, as she does quite regularly,<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/21-Oct-003.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/21-Oct-003-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5332\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>when Megan came in and said she would like him to stay too. She nuzzled up to him and let him lick and nibble at her. He was pulling her ears and her nose and she just let him. Every time he stopped she would give him a little lick. I think she is ready for the opportunity to have puppies of her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amigo has decided he is changing his name. He clearly likes what Dora (Avril) has done and has followed suit with the letter \u2018D\u2019. He has been quite imaginative and given that his mother is Aisha Princess of Beauty he has followed the royal title approach and chosen Duke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arnold is doing fine. He was the last one to get over being poorly, but yesterday was back to weight gains of over 100g. He\u2019s a very good looking little chap and very caring with it. I<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>might have told you, he is going to live in the North-west of England. It\u2019s funny, his new mum and dad are about as dotty over him as my Mistress is over me. They have already been posting lots of pictures on Facebook for their friends to see. He\u2019s been asking how soon he can see them again so I think he is more than happy about where he will be going to live. The other good news is that he will be near Annie Entlebucher, so she can give him some guidance on growing up on Shadow\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alfie Dog with a little help from Rosemary J Kind&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:alfie@alfiedog.me.uk\">alfie@alfiedog.me.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\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>The puppies are getting much closer to sleeping through the night.
