It may be as soon as Sunday that they get together, but more likely Monday. It\u2019s all very exciting. I must admit to having a tear in my eye as I waved her off this morning, although that may have been as much about the fact that I\u2019m going to miss my Mistress as all the excitement over Shadow. Both she and Megan have had their microchips checked to make sure they are working as they should. Hopefully neither of them will have a problem in the next few days. Anyway, they\u2019ve gone and now I\u2019m in charge. I\u2019ve read the note on the desk several times and I think, with the exception of feeding everyone, my first job is to remind my Master to take us to Kennels on Sunday afternoon. It isn\u2019t that we want to go, it\u2019s just that otherwise we\u2019d have to cross our legs for quite a long time and would get a bit fed up during the day. It\u2019s ok I\u2019m taking my phone and my computer so I\u2019ll still be able to tell you what is happening to the girls on their travels. I might see if I can post updates to my Facebook page too, just to tell you how their journey is progressing.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tonight they should be ringing me from Laon in France, so I shall sit here twiddling my paws and awaiting their call. On the other paw, Aristotle is very excited as he can play in the living room for the day, which he isn\u2019t usually allowed to do. I just know that he\u2019s got mischief on his mind and to be honest I\u2019m not sure I want to know what he\u2019s got planned. I think he\u2019s hoping to play on the Playstation, but he\u2019s going to have to play against one of the others as I had in mind a bit of a nap to pass the time.<\/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>Shadow had her blood test yesterday and is now on her way to meet her boyfriend.
