She was called Cuddles when she was born and was the smallest of the C litter. She was incredibly cute when she was little and everyone fell in love with her. She is the only dog we know who doesn\u2019t have a good sense of smell. This is what her humans say about her now:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scout was the smallest and not a big eater but has turned a corner with her eating and now eats really well. She has a lot of energy and enjoys her walks on our local beach and has lots of playmates there. She learnt how to swim a few months ago and is quite an adventurer having travelled down the Outer Hebrides with the family in our campervan. She really enjoys being in the mountains and bounding around in long grass the most. Her sense of smell makes me laugh as you can put a piece of chicken under her nose and you usually have to help her find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The picture was taken on Hen Mountain, Mountains of Mourne, Country Down, Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back here the car is packed and our Mistress and Shadow are ready to set off. The winter tyres are on the car, the snow chains are in, the snow shovel is packed \u2013 the funny thing is that the weather has been warm there too so I don\u2019t think she\u2019s going to need any of them! I just hope that she has thought of everything. I know I\u2019m going to mope after they\u2019ve gone. I won\u2019t have my playmate or the human I love most in the whole world. I know they\u2019ll come back but it\u2019s going to feel like a very long few days for this little puppy.<\/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 today\u2019s update is about my little sister Scout.
