Anyway, readers, Otis was originally christened Casanova as we\u2019re really hoping he\u2019ll go on to be a stud dog. I know he might not be so keen on wearing his \u2018Santa\u2019s Helper\u2019 Christmas costume, but I think he\u2019ll find the ladies like it! Even I have to admit he\u2019s looking pretty handsome in it. Anyway, here\u2019s what his humans say about him.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Otis-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Otis-2-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Otis 2\" class=\"wp-image-9686\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u2018Our little man is getting on great&#8230; Otis is a happy, energetic, playful boy, who is friendly to everyone he meets&#8230; He loves his cuddles and will always be by your side to show he cares&#8230; We love him to bits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope his sisters and brother are getting on as well as Otis&#8230; He really is a joy!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well isn\u2019t that great. It doesn\u2019t sound as though you get up to enough mischief though, Otis, although fair dos, I did spot on Facebook that you\u2019ve chewed a Christmas gift so there\u2019s obviously still time for your naughty streak to develop. Having said that, our Mistress said you were pretty good as a young puppy and she reckons she\u2019s got a pretty good idea of character long before you leave here. Having said that, she thought I was going to be good and gentle and kind rather than the bad ass puppy&nbsp; I like to think I grew into\u2026 just kidding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rumour has it a tree may be appearing in our house today and I\u2019m going to help decorate it. I\u2019ve asked if I can put the star on the top, which will make it officially the Dog Star. I don\u2019t do angels, they\u2019re for girls!<\/p>\n\n\n\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\n\n\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>Ari here again, I think Otis is a pretty cool name, at least you won\u2019t have everyone asking how to spell it or calling you <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/2014\/12\/14\/sunday-14th-december-2014-my-brother-otis\/\" title=\"Sunday 14th December 2014 &#8211; My brother Otis\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8883,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[63,80,53,27],"class_list":["post-9684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-day-to-day-life","tag-aristotle","tag-casanova","tag-puppies","tag-shadow","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9684"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9684\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11514,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9684\/revisions\/11514"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alfiesdiary.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
