I guess the most important is to tell you that Megan is starting to feel better and is happily beginning to eat her usual food. We were all delighted to hear that she was on the mend and send her our very best wishes for a continued recovery, back to her old annoying self! Then there is the good news that Shadow passed her eye test and there is no change in her eyes from when they were tested a year ago, which means she will now be able to go forward and plan her next litter of puppies for later this year. The serious business of choosing her new boyfriend can begin now, but I\u2019m not part of that decision.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the news you\u2019ve all been waiting for \u2013 the parsnips are through! That completes the set in the vegetable trough. It\u2019s still early days and it\u2019s going to be a long while before I can report that there is anything edible \u2013 except of course by Aristotle who\u2019d be happy to eat the compost never mind the plants. One of today\u2019s plans is to thin the ones that need thinning and the good news is that the ones thinned out aren\u2019t going to waste. My Mistress\u2019s physio, who she\u2019s getting to know rather better than she expected, had all her cauliflower plants eaten by some nameless creature and so my Mistress said she would take some of hers to replace them. I think she\u2019s hoping that if she\u2019s nice to the physio then the sessions might be less painful \u2013 I don\u2019t suppose for a minute that that will be the case! I\u2019ve never heard of trying to bribe the physio before \u2013 but I guess anything is worth a try.<\/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>Oh where do I start?
