Happy Easter to you all.<\/p>\n
We had very exciting news yesterday. Megan\u2019s progesterone was 8.2 and she was ready to mate. She went to see Rino and they mated with a tie of 25 minutes, which is longer than any of Shadow\u2019s have been. She was very clear afterwards that she had had enough attention from Rino and went home and put her paws up to relax. She is going to see him again today and possibly tomorrow but after telling him that was enough yesterday it may be she does not want to mate with him today. Aristotle has been kicking his heels looking very glum. Even being told it might mean he has some new brothers and sisters didn\u2019t cheer him up. She will have another progesterone test on Tuesday to make sure she is maintaining her level of progesterone as she needs it to stay higher now so that she can become pregnant. If all goes well it will mean she is giving birth to puppies around 21st<\/sup> June. We\u2019ve got everything crossed for her. Even though it is far too early to know if she will become pregnant my Mistress has already been thinking of names. It won\u2019t be our \u2018D\u2019 litter as it would have been if they were born in this country, it will be our friend\u2019s \u2018Y\u2019 litter. They\u2019ll have our kennel name as their middle name but need to have short first names so they fit on the form. So far we like Yogi, Yoda, Yoyo, Yeti, Yodel and Yorik. I\u2019m not really sure which if those work for girls but I suppose any of them would do.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t suppose the good weather can last much longer but it has been nice whilst it\u2019s lasted. We all had a lovely walk on Friday but then yesterday Ari said his legs were hurting so he stayed at home while Shadow and I went out. I like it when he doesn\u2019t come as I can walk by our Mistress undisturbed.<\/p>\n Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book is available at Amazon UK –https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/dp\/B00583ZGSA<\/a><\/p>\n You can find short stories to read at www.alfiedog.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
