Do I look that old? I had an email inviting me to take part in trials of a joint care product for when dogs get \u2018older\u2019. Now I know they didn\u2019t spell out the fact that I\u2019m going a little grey, but I\u2019ll have you know I can still give Aristotle a run for his money. Ok so Aristotle has elbow dysplasia, but who\u2019s counting? Anyway by the time I\u2019d exchanged a couple of emails with the lovely lady at Pedigree, I totally forgave her and decided she seems a very all right sort of person and I\u2019ve signed up. I\u2019m going to be trying a joint care product for them and it seems I get sent some goodies too. It can\u2019t be bad. Aristotle is jealous, so that\u2019s an added bonus.<\/p>\n<p>I should have signed us all up. Between my age, Ari\u2019s elbow and Megan\u2019s broken toe we aren\u2019t doing so well. Megan is now sporting a very fetching pink boot to cover her bandage in the hope that she will stop taking the bandage off every time my Mistress leaves the room. She is also in the dog house for having broken one of Andy\u2019s toys yesterday. She claims she was simply trying to play with it and didn\u2019t have the dexterity that was required to be gentle, but I think chewing it may be nearer the mark.<\/p>\n<p>My Mistress has been reading a book which has about 500 pages. She reached page 374 so she is well and truly into the body of the book and had reached a vital section, only to be confronted by page 323. Now even I know that the number after 374 is not 323. It did prove that she had been paying attention as she didn\u2019t read very far down page 323 before she realised she was experiencing a \u2018Groundhog Day\u2019 moment. The book is being returned and a whole new one with all the right pages is going to replace it.<\/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<p>You can find short stories to read at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.alfiedog.com\/\">www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Oh mock if you want to.
