She\u2019s been trying to sniff all the exciting smells in Switzerland and finding that as she went she scooped snow up into the cone. It works a bit like a snow shovel or a snow plough, except Megan\u2019s head ends up under the pile of snow. She wasn\u2019t happy when my Master and Mistress left her, but then neither was my Mistress. My Mistress now feels really sad because she hasn\u2019t got any of us with her and she doesn\u2019t like not having a dog around. My Master even managed to pick a dog up in a restaurant last night. The dog was apparently called Maurice and I\u2019m not happy. I was pleased to hear that the dog stayed at the restaurant and isn\u2019t about to turn up here with them.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been reading about Richard the III being found under a Leicester car park. Do you think he had a faithful dog? If so archaeologists really ought to turn their attention to finding the dog so that they can be reburied together. I hope they weren\u2019t buried together in 1485 and the dog has been left in the longer stay section. Do you think they\u2019d bought a ticket for how long they were there for or should the current royal family be issued with a long overdue parking ticket on behalf of former royalty? All the thoughts of people dying in battle are my Master\u2019s fault as he\u2019s excited about going to the battleground at Waterloo today. My Mistress is seeing it as a day out in the fresh air and feels she should have a dog at her side. Ah well, maybe next time. Although really scenes of bloodshed aren\u2019t my thing, even if it isn\u2019t my blood!<\/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>Megan has discovered a very big downside of a cone round her neck in snowy weather.
