Last time I was on these tablets I was like a bear with a sore head and a dog being like a bear is never a good thing! I\u2019m grumpy. Everyone is annoying me and I keep barking to remind everyone that I\u2019m not best pleased. I\u2019m not normally like this. If my Mistress would just give in and stay in bed with me all day it wouldn\u2019t be a problem but she does insist on getting up and doing things. We had visitors last night and they stayed way past my bedtime. I\u2019m a dog who likes his routine. I went up to bed and didn\u2019t let them being there bother me, but they were in the room below me and I kept hearing them laughing. You know what it\u2019s like. There you are feeling like a really miserable out of sorts dog and you can hear people enjoying themselves. Today I\u2019m going to make a special effort to be nice to everyone. My Mistress has declared the arrival of spring and is removing the winter protection from the plants in the garden and starting to do some clearing up. Aristotle is, of course, helping with the gardening and I\u2019m watching proceeding, which is what I\u2019ve found I\u2019m best at. I\u2019ve even convinced my Mistress that if it stays dry she will take a bed outside for me, which can\u2019t be bad.<\/p>\n<p>Ari\u2019s sister Dora hasn\u2019t been well. He asked if I could just send all our love to her for a speedy recovery. Anyway, hi Dora, get well soon. Hi to Duke, Rafa, Arnie, Soggeli, and Addie as well. I wouldn\u2019t want you all to feel left out.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been thinking of names for Megan\u2019s litter. They need to start with the letter B. I said we should run a competition on the blog to see what the best names are you can come up with. You can either email your suggestions to me or post them as comments. We might even come up with a prize if there are any that Megan really likes.<\/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>It\u2019s the tablets.
