It gives me chance to tell you what Aristotle really gets up to. My Mistress managed to creep up on him when he was \u2018counter surfing\u2019 and took these photos. I like the one where he was looking round to see if there was anything he\u2019d missed. The strength he has in his back legs means he\u2019s way too comfortable standing up for a dog. If I do that it isn\u2019t long before my back legs ache and I need to get down. Ari can stand like that quite happily for a good ten minutes or more working his way around the kitchen. Shadow can\u2019t even reach the work surface without jumping up to look! The thing that makes Ari really effective is that he can do more than just rest his front paws on the counter. His back legs are strong enough for him to take his front ones off and use them to pick things up or pull them nearer too him. He\u2019s dangerous!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have at long last tried the dog beer that my Mistress bought for us and all three of us are in complete agreement it is fantastic. It is every dog\u2019s dream. In fact our Mistress thinks it might be worth keeping some in the cupboard for us to drink if she\u2019s ever worried we might be dehydrated. She won\u2019t let us drink it late at night as she doesn\u2019t want to have to take us out again and we\u2019re being made to share a bottle, which doesn\u2019t seem fair, but I can see the point. She learnt her lesson after leaving a meat dish soaking where Aristotle could reach it and he drank all the water in it! He\u2019ll be taking over before we know it.<\/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>Well I\u2019m back after a lovely weekend.
