I am appalled. Just imagine as a human if a girl you were going on a date with told you, in advance, that just in case she didn\u2019t really like you, she\u2019d got someone else on standby down the road. Now boys, the pressure would just be too much. If you didn\u2019t tell her that you weren\u2019t interested in someone who behaved like that, which would be the best approach to take, you would at the very least be shaking by the time you answered the door to her. But that is exactly what Megan has done. She may be my house-mate, but I think her behaviour is atrocious. Poor Alwin-Luca. I\u2019m sure he didn\u2019t see that one coming. Now the poor dog knows that if Megan isn\u2019t smitten by his charming personality she\u2019s hot-pawing it to meet another boy. My Mistress has tried to calm me down by telling me it\u2019s just a safety net. What would my Master have said if that is what she\u2019d done when they got married? And what about the other poor bloke, just waiting and hoping for the opportunity (obviously I\u2019m talking about Megan again now \u2013 there\u2019s no bloke waiting for my Mistress that I know about!) When I tried tackling Megan about it she just flounced out of the room. I shied away from discussing it with Aristotle, he\u2019s already upset that she\u2019s off to meet another dog and isn\u2019t waiting for him. Mind you, he\u2019d be even more upset if he\u2019d heard my Mistress saying that with his poorly leg he may never have the opportunity of any girlfriend, Megan or anyone else.<\/p>\n<p>You women seem to call all the shots. We poor men really don\u2019t have a hope. We just have to be grateful for the odd crumb you throw in our direction. It really is a tough life being a bloke of any type, never mind the extra hardship of being a dog.<\/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>I\u2019ve spent too long around humans.
