Alfie was the start of our love affair. Sadly he is no longer with us, but this is how he described himself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alfie: I\u2019d have liked to have been a stud dog, but you know how it goes. I didn\u2019t make the grade. \u201cHealth reasons\u201d they said, but to be honest I think they were just being killjoys.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I became a writer instead and got my own back on the rest of the family by writing about their antics. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For the record, my full name is Einstein van de Tiendenschuur and I was born in Belgium in November 2005. My mum was\u00a0Anka<\/em> vom Bogenthal and my dad was\u00a0Elio vom Sh\u00e4rlig. Sadly they are no longer with us, but remembered with much love. Dad lived in Switzerland and Mum lived\u00a0in Belgium. It\u2019s hard for a puppy to take, but they preferred to live apart. I never even met Dad, though<\/em> we wrote to each other occasionally and my human met him.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had quite a few half brothers and sisters working as everything from cattle herders to disaster rescue dogs and of course pets. You can\u2019t underestimate the importance of being a pet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
