There we were waiting to wave my Mistress off and what do we find? D\u2019Artagnan has only gone in her luggage as a stowaway. He said he couldn\u2019t bear the thought of our Mistress not having an Entlebucher for company for 10 days so as he was the smallest he thought it was his duty to go with her. On the bright side for the next week or so he can act as our roving reporter to bring you all the latest news of what is going on. He\u2019s promised to be photographed in all the interesting places so I can show what\u2019s going on. I\u2019m jealous, but I wouldn\u2019t have fitted in our Mistress\u2019s hand luggage and would have utterly blown the weight restriction. It also meant he could go to visit his brother Donatello who now lives with our human maternal grandparents. Donatello has a lovely bed in the window of the dining room there so that he can watch the birds on the bird table and look down the garden. He\u2019s happy and being well looked after so D\u2019Artagnan was happy. I wasn\u2019t around to see what our Master said when he found the note that D\u2019Artagnan left to say what he had done. I think he was concerned that our Master would worry where he\u2019d gone from his usual spot on the bed.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday D\u2019Artagnan and our Mistress travelled as far as Heathrow and stayed in a nearby hotel where they can leave the car. I just hope they got up early enough this morning to check in for their flight. I\u2019m hoping that having to look after D\u2019Artagnan will help my Mistress to stay calm and now worry too much. I\u2019ll find out later.<\/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 think it was Aristotle who put him up to it.
