The girls have been booked in for their ultrasound scans on Tuesday 23<sup>rd<\/sup> October. By that time Shadow will be at least five weeks pregnant and Megan about 4 and a half weeks. Hopefully that will be long enough for the vet to confirm if there are puppies. It\u2019s nice for the girls to be able to do every stage of the process together. Megan is glad of the experience that Shadow has. Of course another day has passed and my Mistress has still not retrieved he whelping box from the summerhouse. To be honest she is not feeling at her best this week and doesn\u2019t want to be disturbed. I said she was already disturbed but that didn\u2019t go down too well. I\u2019m now glad that as a dog I have never been tempted to try drinking coffee. It seems that it is not as good for you as you might have thought. Although, my Mistress says it is only the lack of it that is not good for her.<\/p>\n<p>Aristotle is fed up as he has to go swimming today. He\u2019s missed a couple of weeks with the girls being away and he\u2019d hoped that my Mistress might have forgotten to rearrange it. Of course she hasn\u2019t forgotten! He knows it\u2019s for his own good, but he\u2019s a bit like me and doesn\u2019t really like being in water. Mind you he\u2019s not completely like me \u2013 you wouldn\u2019t get me in however hard you tried.<\/p>\n<p>My Mistress does not like autumn. She wants to live somewhere warmer, drier and with blue rather than grey skies. She hates that the hope of summer has passed and we can only look forward to colder weather for the next few months. She is seriously considering hibernation but I pointed out she\u2019d need to be around for the puppies so that plan is out of the window.<\/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>I know it\u2019s not real news, but it\u2019s the best I can do at the moment.
