I\u2019m quite excited. I\u2019m going by train. There is a funicular railway that goes part way up but I\u2019m not sure if we\u2019re doing that bit. It depends on whether my Mistress has the courage and whether they allow dogs. It will be nice to have a day where I\u2019m the only dog and don\u2019t have to share my Mistress\u2019s affection. I forgot to tell you just how scratched and bruised she got when Megan saw her for the first time on Sunday. To say Megan was excited would be a huge understatement. When you are special to a dog, that feeling never goes way. Poor dear Megan, I hope that she is happy in her new home. It\u2019s such a shame we couldn\u2019t get on, but we both want our Mistress to ourselves and that really doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday was mostly spent in the shade relaxing and intermittently chasing after a couple of girls, as you do. I\u2019m getting on quite well with one of Megan\u2019s sisters and an older girl called Sira. Obviously it is not the same as it was with my girlfriend and I don\u2019t want her to worry, but it\u2019s nice to be around some gentle girls who want to play with me. You\u2019re never really too old to play. My Mistress bought me some vanilla biscuits and a lovely new harness too. I\u2019ve been wearing Aristotle\u2019s as mine is too big, but my new one is blue rather than black, which looks very nice. I thought I\u2019d blown my chance of having biscuits after yesterday\u2019s incident, but thankfully my Mistress is soft and gives in to my big brown eyes way to easily. She won\u2019t let me eat them all at once though!<\/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 off to see the Matterhorn today.
