She really hasn\u2019t coped with all her brothers and sisters leaving. She has howled her little heart out. None of us can console her, only my Master or my Mistress. If they will cuddle her and stroke her she\u2019s fine and calms down. We\u2019ve tried Shadow sitting with her. We\u2019ve tried Aristotle sitting with her. We even tried me playing with her. None of it worked. Eventually my Mistress found one of Ari\u2019s old toys that has given her something to do to keep herself amused but safe to say, after five minutes we were back to square one. She has got to get through it, but my Mistress will only let any of us howl so long before she intervenes to calm us down. I suspect it\u2019s going to be a long week! She may sleep downstairs with Tess so that she gets some sleep, but then the problem is that we all want to join her and it gets a bit busy on the settee when we do that.<\/p>\n<p>Aristotle found a new girlfriend while he was in kennels. He\u2019s a good looking dog and almost everywhere he goes the girls fall in love with him. His latest girlfriend is a black Labrador. I\u2019ve been told that humans think I\u2019m a good looking chap, but I don\u2019t know what the difference is with Ari, it\u2019s not only humans but every female dog he meets that seem to think he\u2019s good looking. I\u2019m doing something wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Today is exciting as my Mistress is buying snow chains. She thinks it\u2019s exciting anyway. It\u2019s so that she can get to Switzerland with Megan when she goes. You have to have them in certain placed there. It makes sense if there is a lot of snow. I just hope she doesn\u2019t get too dirty when she has to fit them to the wheels!<\/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>Poor little Tess.
