She also wrapped the presents and delivered the Christmas cards. The shower was fixed again, hopefully finally this time, Shadow said her tummy felt well enough to be back on normal food and so she stole Megan\u2019s. Oh yes and the puppies have started having puppy food mixed into the baby food and declared it a success by licking the bowls clean. From my point of view that was bad news, but I guess you can\u2019t have everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been threatened with a trip to the vet today. It\u2019s my anal glands again. When they start to get blocked I start to smell really bad. It\u2019s a lingering smell that no one wants to be around, me included. It meant I felt out of sorts yesterday and I must admit I did bark rather more than normal. Added to that they cut the hedge opposite our house with the big tractor going back and forth for ages, so Megan barked at that. Then there was the man fixing the shower and Shadow barked at him. Aristotle just got excited because we were all barking and so barked at us. My Mistress got to the point where she got very cross with all of us and probably with good cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know I said I would do a Youtube video for you so you could hear the puppies, but with everything going on yesterday there would have been no point as you wouldn\u2019t have heard the puppies over the din. I\u2019ll give it a go today. As far as I know this morning should be ok. My grandparents are coming to see us this afternoon so that might not work, but I will if I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\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\n\n\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\n\n\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>We had a number of breakthroughs yesterday, My Mistress resolved the \u2018what to buy my Master\u2019 problem.
