Shadow is now completely barrel shaped. She is having difficulty judging the width she needs to get through gaps. Twice she has got herself slightly stuck because gates were not open as far she needs them in her present condition. I just wonder how big she will be in another two weeks.<\/p>\n

Today we are going swimming and I don\u2019t think there will be any way I can get out of it this time. I don\u2019t have to swim, the most I get is a shower this time but I\u2019m not looking forward to that. I don\u2019t like water and there are no exceptions to that, even though it is supposed to be good for me. If it does go ok, then I have to go for a full assessment. It\u2019s a bit like when you sign up at the gym and you have to go to be checked over to make sure you are fit enough to start and know how the machines work. I\u2019m not sure where they send you if you aren\u2019t fit enough to start as you are in the place to get fit! At the moment my Mistress is trying a little bribery to encourage me. Apparently if I do go swimming I may be able to have a little more to eat. I guess there is a silver lining.<\/p>\n

\"Alfies<\/a>We\u2019ve been working on bringing my book Alfie\u2019s Woods out as a paperback. It\u2019s nearly ready so I\u2019m excited. My Mistress said of all her novels it\u2019s her favourite one, but I guess that\u2019s because we worked on it together which is always more fun. I can reveal the cover to you and it will be available hopefully by the end of the week or early next week, so just in time to buy it for your friends for Christmas.<\/p>\n

Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK –https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n
