Well done to both of them. It\u2019s always difficult when it\u2019s your first time, not that I\u2019ve ever even tried and we look forward to hearing all your exciting results in the coming months. We know you\u2019re the best even if the judge hasn\u2019t realised yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The others went for a lovely long woodland walk yesterday. There is a place called Yearsley Woods which lots of my Mistress friends had said they had taken their dogs to and yesterday she eventually went to find it. Finding it was the hard part. It\u2019s no more than about 11 miles from us, but it turns out it isn\u2019t on the car\u2019s sat nav or the one on my Mistress\u2019s phone. She ended up having to come back into the house to check on her big map of North Yorkshire. Even though there are no facilities there, she\u2019s giving it a green star on her map as she really liked it. Ari thought it was brilliant but was completely worn out when he got home. With his leg he doesn\u2019t get to walk that far normally, he\u2019s only been able to do it since his swimming has left him a very handsome and well-muscled dog. Having seen how good swimming is for the figure I wish I could overcome my dislike of the water but I\u2019m too old for that now. If the weather is good he may get to go to the beach tomorrow, but he\u2019s got to wait to find out. I\u2019ll probably go too, as long as no one makes me go in the water.<\/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>Basil and Dickens came 3rd and 4th in their class at Bath yesterday.
