What's it all about Alfie? Part II

      I am a little late with this blog, but I wanted to tell you all about my road trip out East this past fall.

     I had so much fun! I went swimming in the ocean, well not quite swimming, but I chased the waves, I dug up shells to play with, and I met a new friend, an English Bulldog, and boy was she tough!  We went on a long hike around the island and climbed over many big rocks.  Truthfully, I did have to be carried part of the way, as my paws got sore from the sea salt and rocks, but not my friend, she was resilient and she climbed those rocks with ease!   

    I have been told she was also "well behaved" as she stayed with her family while we hiked along.  Whereas I, sometimes "pretended" I could not hear especially, when I found rotting stuff to roll in that had washed up in the seaweed; the smellier the better!  I would roll and roll, then look to see how far everyone else had walked along, then I would roll and roll and roll some more.  You would think that everyone would be glad when my hearing came back and I came running but, they didn't appreciate  my new "eau de parfum"!  In fact, I was given a bath when we got back and I was not happy!

     The whole vacation, this tough, athletic Bulldog didn't really want to play with me.  I know I annoyed her, just a bit, but she always looked grumpy and I never knew why.   Then it hit me!  A lot is in a name,  so when I finally tell you the name of my friend, you will understand too...
​
      I am named Alfie, short for "Alfred the Great"!  She is named "Cuppy ", short for "Cupcake "!  Yep, enough said!
