She hasn\u2019t even been home. My Master is taking all of us home and my Mistress is going to collect Megan. Megan was ready for mating much sooner than we were expecting and went to see Leon yesterday. They got on VERY well and she\u2019s going to see him again today. Anyway, it means the good news is that she will be ready to come home, but the bad news is that her puppies will be born within only a few days of Shadow\u2019s. It\u2019s going to be a very busy time in our house. If I were you I\u2019d stay well clear!<\/p>\n<p>Our Fun Day was amazing. There were 17 of us in the end.

Dora (Avril), Addie (Adrienne), Sogeli (Annette),&nbsp;and Rafa (Alan) were all there. They were all simply lovely. Then there were the ones who were only 6 months old and there were the ones who were two years old. Of course there were one or two of us older ones too. I won a rosette for first place in most handsome dog. I\u2019m very proud of it, but was alarmed to find I\u2019ve lost my edge in the biscuit race. I didn\u2019t take part in the timed obstacle race, but I can tell you that both Aristotle and I excelled in the recall with distractions. When I say excelled, that may not be exactly the right word. We were both very good at being distracted, eating the biscuits and not actually responding to the recall. By the end of the day we were worn out, but we\u2019d had a fantastic day and Ari was so pleased that it means he\u2019s seen all his siblings quite recently now.<\/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>Ok, so I should have been writing all about our Fun Day and I will in a minute, but my Mistress is on her way <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2012\/09\/23\/sunday-23rd-september-2012-theres-crazy-and-then-theres-my-mistress\/\" title=\"Sunday 23rd September 2012 &#8211; there&#8217;s crazy and then there&#8217;s my Mistress\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8705,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,15],"tags":[64,68,67,63,69,14,50,38,10,53,27,43,16],"class_list":["post-6679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-dog-breeding","tag-adrienne","tag-alan","tag-annette","tag-aristotle","tag-avril","tag-breeding","tag-entlebucher","tag-fun-day","tag-megan","tag-puppies","tag-shadow","tag-switzerland","tag-travel","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6679"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6679\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
