He\u2019d already delayed doing them because of holidays and expecting his mum to come into season, but the problem is that her season is late and she hasn\u2019t started yet. If he started the classes this time round he\u2019s either going to miss some for when his mum has to go to Switzerland or miss the exam because the puppies will be born then. It means he is now cross with his mother for her season being late. She says she doesn\u2019t control these things and she just wishes everyone would stop asking her what\u2019s happening as she has absolutely no idea. My Mistress has even talked to our vet about it, but she just sympathised and said her dog that she has just mated was two months late coming into season, so it happens to everyone. It\u2019s bound to happen when we are least expecting it. It\u2019s going to be like one of those watched kettles that don\u2019t come to the boil until you have to answer the front door and aren\u2019t there to do anything about it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Ari was in a bad mood even before being told he won\u2019t be going to his bronze lessons as he\u2019s got swimming today and he has decided that it doesn\u2019t matter how much good it is doing and he doesn\u2019t care how good everyone says he is at swimming, he doesn\u2019t like it and that\u2019s all there is to it. He will go, because he\u2019s basically a nice dog, but he just wanted everyone to understand that it will be under protest and not because he wants to. My Master said that\u2019s a bit like him doing any gardening, but my Mistress didn\u2019t think that was a helpful comment.<\/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>Ari was supposed to be starting his bronze classes this month.
