Obviously there is Shadow who didn\u2019t go away and Megan who caused all the fuss and me and Ari back from kennels but then there\u2019s Amigo too. He\u2019s slotted right in to the team. He\u2019s not really certain what is ok so we are showing him the ropes. Ari will have him stealing off the kitchen side before you know it and I\u2019m already teaching him the most comfortable spots around the house. What is difficult for him is that he has been put on a diet as he needs to lose a bit round the middle. He tried claiming it was just puppy fat, but I said that even as a puppy it is better to make sure you don\u2019t sag in any inappropriate places. He\u2019s got a really soft rich coat and is very loving. He needs to do a bit of work on the old training, but he\u2019s already working on it and is doing most of the things I tell him. It\u2019s nice seeing the brothers together, although funny seeing Ari as the more confident one. I remember when he was just the bottom of the chain and now look at him.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m tired just watching my Mistress sorting out the dog walking rota. Megan is still being kept separate and Ari has to have short walks on grass rather than roads. It means that everyone goes out in shifts. I\u2019m fully expecting that either my Mistress is going to be working up a very healthy appetite or she will reduce in size quite rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>What I forgot to tell you was that I misspelt the Dutch Liberation Day. Ah it\u2019s hard. I grew up with Flemish and it\u2019s just that little bit different to Dutch. How was I supposed to remember that tiny little \u2018g\u2019? Anyway, as that wasn\u2019t the day for the puppies being conceived I don\u2019t need to worry about it too much.<\/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>Well we are all home and I really do mean ALL.
