She and the puppies are doing very well. The puppies were rather larger than the ones Shadow had, but fewer in number. Megan\u2019s sister lives in Germany. You can\u2019t imagine how happy Megan was to hear from her and see the pictures. She has been going round showing them to everyone and proudly saying she is an aunt. It did make me think about how proud I felt when my sister Esther had her puppy and wonder where my niece is now. Maybe I should try to track her down and send her a little note from her uncle Alfie.<\/p>\n<p>Ari has rather spoilt one of my favourite pastimes. I am very partial to hide chews. Ari says he is very partial to them, but he has taken to swallowing large lengths of chew and not bothering to chew pieces off first. My Mistress was horrified and rather worried that he would do himself no good. To ensure he doesn\u2019t have any chews, chews have been taken off the menu. We have all been deprived. Now I realise we can end up leaving them lying around and he would then pick them up, but we could have been taught to put them somewhere safe out of his reach until we wanted it next time. I do feel a little annoyed with him. I told him he had to chew it thoroughly. I don\u2019t want the little fellow doing himself any harm. He\u2019s not so very little now. It won\u2019t be very long before he\u2019s as big as his mum. I don\u2019t think she was expecting that when he was a tiny puppy and she was pushing him around!<\/p>\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<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>Now in amongst all the last couple of days activities I have been a real \u2018boy\u2019 and completely forgotten to tell you that we heard <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2012\/01\/24\/tuesday-24th-january-2012-megans-sister-has-had-puppies\/\" title=\"Tuesday 24th January 2012 &#8211; Megan&#8217;s Sister has had puppies\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,15,11],"tags":[63,50,10,53],"class_list":["post-5878","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-dog-breeding","category-family","tag-aristotle","tag-entlebucher","tag-megan","tag-puppies","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
