This is the first chance I\u2019ve had to tell you my side of the story from Fun Day. Whatever was suggested about only being induced into good behaviour for a biscuit, it\u2019s not true. I was good. You ask my Mistress. When she was setting everything up I wasn\u2019t on my lead at all and just followed her around like the good puppy I am. I didn\u2019t get into any disagreements with the other dogs, except snapping at one of them when he hadn\u2019t taken any notice when I asked him nicely to back off. But I only did it enough to stop him and not to even get hold of him. You\u2019ll be pleased to know he did get the message that time. It\u2019s hard when you have been neutered to have a dog who\u2019s still got all his bits coming and sniffing at your missing doghood. It\u2019s like they\u2019re sneering at you. Anyway, we soon got that sorted out and we were still friends. I didn\u2019t take part in that many games. Every time I shouted to my Mistress \u2018come on\u2019 someone stopped her to talk about something to do with our breed and ask her questions and then by the time she\u2019d finished I\u2019d missed out on the game. It wasn\u2019t too bad, but then I didn\u2019t win any of the games I did take part in. Shadow chided me on my catching not being up to scratch, but that was easy for her to do from the sideline and not being put to the test. I\u2019m going to see if my Mistress will spend some time practicing biscuit catch with me so that I\u2019m not out on the first round next time. It is embarrassing to be beaten by young puppies!<\/p>\n<p>Alfie\u2019s Diary \u2013 the Book as well as our other books are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/s\/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=rosemary%20j%20kind\">HERE<\/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>Well hello again.
