I suggested this to her, but rather predictably she said \u2018Neigh\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>I have to thank you for the wonderful suggestions for names. Having said that, do you think calling a puppy Chaos might be asking for trouble? It\u2019s a name I fear he or she might grow into and really feel the need to get into the character for. It doesn\u2019t take much. Aristotle\u2019s a fairly placid puppy and yet my Master has now names him \u2018Red Rum\u2019 for his steeplechasing abilities at 6.45 in the morning across the bed and round until someone stops him. Sadly at that time of day, although my Mistress can just about cope with it, my Master doesn\u2019t have quite so much bounce as Aristotle and doesn\u2019t take it too well. If the amount that Megan wants to eat is anything to go by she will be pregnant with a big litter. I think she\u2019s on some sort of challenge and is crying for her food earlier and earlier. I can just about hang on until it\u2019s time, but Megan is finding that very difficult. Maybe Tuesday will be good news all round. I do hope for both the girls\u2019 sakes that it is, otherwise there are going to be a few tears and tantrums. And that\u2019s just from my Mistress! I will, as always, take it all in my stride and be ready to console whoever needs consolation \u2013 as long as they don\u2019t decide to take it out on me we\u2019ll be all right. Mind you with everything else going on, we\u2019re going to be awfully busy!<\/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>Given that my Mistress is now successfully eating both apples and oats I have drawn the conclusion that she may be turning into a horse. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2012\/10\/21\/sunday-21st-october-2012-a-horse-a-horse-my-apple-for-a-horse\/\" title=\"Sunday 21st October 2012 &#8211; A horse, a horse, my apple for a horse\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8874,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,15],"tags":[63,50,10,27],"class_list":["post-6756","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","category-dog-breeding","tag-aristotle","tag-entlebucher","tag-megan","tag-shadow","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6756","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=6756"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6756\/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=6756"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6756"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6756"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
