This is about mischief in the making. Not just a little bit of mischief either. If all goes to plan this is mischief on a grand scale. Many legged mischief. It\u2019s Megan. Megan is definitely planning for some very significant mischief. If you are of a tender disposition or under the age of 18 (who am I kidding?) then today\u2019s blog is not for you. Megan is making her preparations to go to visit Alwin in the Netherlands. We\u2019re not talking \u2018dropping by for a dog biscuit and a bowl of water\u2019. Even though they haven\u2019t met yet their first date plans involve a lot more than that. Megan has started taking her daily dose of \u2018Fit and Fertile\u2019 ready for the exciting events of the next few weeks. Aristotle blushed rather when I explained it all to him. Although he\u2019d had dreams of being a stud dog, he hadn\u2019t fully understood what it was all about and how things actually happen. Now he does! He\u2019s not so sure it\u2019s for him anyway. He finds girls a bit confusing and isn\u2019t sure he wants to get quite that close to them. Anyway, we still don\u2019t know exactly when Megan is going to see Alwin. She has to pass her tests next Saturday first and then it depends on her being at the right point of her season, but it\u2019s not going to be long. You may remember that when my Mistress took her nephew with her for Shadow\u2019s mating in Switzerland they concluded that witnessing dogs\u2026 well\u2026 you know\u2026 was enough to put a human ever having that sort of relationship. So to all the parents out there with teenagers: If you want your children to go through the ultimate dissuasion from an early pregnancy, just book them in to go as spectators when my Mistress takes Megan. Of course that trip also resulted in Shadow having to stay away for a while because her chip failed and proved very stressful for all of us, but surely it can\u2019t happen twice!<\/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\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Now I\u2019m not saying there has been any mischief, no!
