His humans aren\u2019t able to look after him for the next twelve months and so he needs to stay somewhere else. I immediately went to talk to my Mistress to see if he could come to us, and she said much as she would love that, and she really thought it would be lovely for me, it just wasn\u2019t practical. She was reminiscing about when she first came to see us and she was cuddling Ramses and my Master was cuddling me. It\u2019s a long time ago now and I don\u2019t really remember it all that clearly as I was only a few weeks old. I certainly don\u2019t regret the decision I made to come and live here, we all get spoilt as any dog should be able to expect.<\/p>\n<p>There is a mammoth walk planned for some point either this morning or tomorrow morning. Not for us boys it would be too far for either of us, but the girls are going. My Mistress wants to finish walking the route she did last Wednesday, which was five miles for the section she did. I suspect it won\u2019t be all that much further than that \u2013 maybe six or seven miles in total, but it\u2019s a lot further than I can walk. My Mistress keeps standing on the scales to see if she\u2019s lost any with all the walking but it doesn\u2019t seem to be making any difference. Maybe she needs to run instead of walk!<\/p>\n<p>My Master has eaten our first strawberry. He said it was very tasty and perfectly ripe. It\u2019s a shame that he can only eat them one at a time but that\u2019s better than not having any at all.<\/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>I heard from my brother yesterday, he\u2019s looking for a temporary home.
