I found your comments amazing and I am totally thrilled you enjoyed looking a them and then posting wonderful comments. I really did love and enjoyed taking them; and finally share them with you all.
I was very fortunate that Alfie was so well looked after at the show to enable me to take the photo's.
Many, many thanks again.

Today Alfie made me so proud - it was test day for the Kennel Club Good Citizens Gold Award.
