Travelling is tiring. I know all I had to do was curl up on the back seat, but by the time we\u2019d driven 400 miles I was ready for a sleep. My Mistress kept saying \u2018Look at that view, Alfie,\u2019 but by the time I\u2019d put my head up above the window ledge the view was back to trees or motorway. We had regular stops so I was able to have a good sniff and I even remembered to drink on route today, rather than wait until we arrived and then drink gallons. Some of the journey was spent in sorting things out for other dogs. It\u2019s quite exciting. Eiger, our only qualified stud dog in the UK is on his way to the Netherlands to have his ectopic ureter test. As long as that goes well he will be able to be used as a stud dog by girls in other countries, which would be very exciting. Then we had news that Aida has started her season and her owner is able to take her to Switzerland to meet a stud dog if it can all be arranged quickly. After all the setbacks we\u2019ve had this year, it would be such good news if Aida were able to have a litter. We are all desperately crossing our fingers and hoping that everything will come together for her. Another litter of puppies born this year would be wonderful news. It was also lovely when one of my Mistress\u2019s friends invited me to go to stay when Shadow goes to mate next. I\u2019ve got to have a long talk about it with my Mistress as it would mean Aristotle staying at home on his own and he\u2019d get lonely, but my Mistress just loves having me with her so I\u2019m hoping I can get round her. I\u2019d like to see my parents\u2019 country of birth in the snow.<\/p>\n
One important thing on the journey today, we did find a supermarket to stock up on Belgian beer for my Master, so he\u2019s very happy now.<\/p>\n
