Not even vaguely ok. When she arrived Bella wasn\u2019t as pleased to see her as everyone hoped and there was a small incident involving Megan\u2019s ear. When I say \u2018small\u2019 I mean quite big! Megan lost a chunk of ear and was bleeding profusely. She bled all over my Mistress and over my Mistress\u2019s friend\u2019s kitchen. The problem was that she shook her head, Megan not my Mistress, and splattered blood everywhere like a scene from a horror movie. Megan had to go to an emergency vet in London to have stitches. This is probably a good time to tell our own vet how much we appreciate her. The cost of the London vet was horrific. Poor Megan was there until very late, as she had to have an anaesthetic for them to do the stitches. It was just lucky that she hadn\u2019t had her tea yet so she was ok to have the anaesthetic. My Mistress was really upset having to leave her with the vet but she had no choice. It didn\u2019t help that she didn\u2019t really like the vet, but with Megan needing to be sewn up she had no choice. One thing is certain, my Mistress won\u2019t be wearing those blood spattered clothes again this trip! It\u2019s a good job she\u2019d taken some spares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meg didn\u2019t really feel like a day in the car driving to Strasbourg, but she didn\u2019t have much choice in the process. She is just hoping that when she gets to Switzerland the dogs there aren\u2019t mean to her too as she\u2019s had enough and wants to come home. She even said sorry for being so mean to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Mistress felt very sorry for Bella\u2019s owner too. It wasn\u2019t anyone\u2019s fault. Sometimes these things happen. Shadow said she knew that from the time she ended up at the vet the night she arrived in Switzerland for similar reasons. Sometimes we dogs don\u2019t behave exactly how you\u2019d like. It\u2019s what makes us dogs rather than humans.<\/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>Megan\u2019s sleepover did not go well.
