Ari comes back from kennels every time with a new girlfriend. Me, I\u2019ve never had a girlfriend before, but this week I\u2019ve really fallen for Bella and fallen in a big way. It\u2019s taken me until I\u2019m almost nine years old to fall in love for the first time and I\u2019m really not looking forward to saying goodbye to her on Friday. Yesterday there was a moment in the park where I stood up against another boy and said \u2018go away, she\u2019s my girl\u2019 and then last night Bella did the same when our friend\u2019s dog Bailey wanted to play with me. She actually said I\u2019m hers and it sent an amazing feeling all through me. No one has ever wanted me to be their boyfriend and I thought I was going to go all through my life without finding that special someone.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d been for a lovely walk with the family of my buddy Alfie who writes Alfie\u2019s Blog \u2013 not to be confused with my writing Alfie\u2019s Diary and then later I took her to where I used to live and was so proud to show her around. I showed her where I used to walk when I was a puppy and where I used to live. I got my Mistress to take a photo of us together by the gate of our old house. This road is why our kennel name is Torfheide as that is the road name where I lived from 10 weeks old until I moved to England. I have such happy memories of the place.<\/p>\n<p>Today is exciting too as I get to take Bella to meet my Mum\u2019s human. She\u2019s lovely and I just know Bella is going to like her.<\/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\u2019m not like most of the dogs I know.
