A couple of months ago I wrote a post introducing you to our new puppy Alfie after the loss of our beloved Springer Spaniel Bob. Alfie is a Cockerpoo.
I thought I would show you in picture format how he is getting on and settling in.
For my part, I find having him around just wonderful. The house feels like a home again. Though the 6 a.m. wake-up calls aren’t that welcome! He still needs some training as he’s only 4 and a half months old. He is great off lead, but not so good on his lead, but these are issues we can work on.
Anyway, here’s Alfie, growing.
As you can see, he’s a cheeky fellow, but he keeps us busy and he’s adorable. He still has some growing to do, so in a few months, I shall share some more photo’s with you and our life with Alfie.
What a cutie.
He really is :)
He’s gorgeous Rebecca – lovely to see some more photos of him. I’m with you on the joys of 6:00 wake up calls!! Won’t be forever though (hopefully)!!!
Hopefully not forever! That would be dreadful!
Rebecca, Alfie is really cute. Does he know he’s going to grow up among books? Thanks for sharing his pictures.
Thanks Prashant. He must wonder what we have our noses stuck in all the time :)
He’s so sweet! I know what you mean that a dog makes a house feel like a home. My Dora can go for her first walk next Saturday, but she’s absolutely rubbish on the lead! Or maybe I’m being too critical – she’s still only 10 weeks, after all! Dreading letting her off the lead, but it has to be done! We’re going to go to a playing field with our neighbours and their cockapoo (who she loves) in the hope he will teach her what to do and what not to do! I have a long training lead to use if she turns out to be a dasher-offer! So glad you’re enjoying Alfie x (any dog advice very welcome, anytime!)
Awww, another puppy! :) You might be surprised with her off lead. Alfie is better off lead than on. What we did beforehand though was some command training before we went out, so he knew what HERE meant. You have a week, practice in the house and garden with treats and you’ll be surprised. Also before you let her off lead, let her know you have treats in your pockets so when you shout Here, she knows she has to come back :)
Let me know how you get on!
I still need help with the on lead stuff!
Oh, Rebecca, he is such a sweet fellow! How absolutely adorable! And it’s good to hear he’s getting on and settling in so well. He’s lucky to be in such a good and loving home.
Thank you Margot. He is adorable – most of the time. :)
He’s so cute and the expressions… priceless. I bet he keeps you quite busy. How did you come up with the name, Alfie?
He’s always looking at us like that, wondering if he’s going to be in trouble! My little boy chose his name in the car as we drove home with him. We thought we were going to get a girl, but ended up loving him and didn’t have any boys names!
Such a little CUTIE!
Isn’t he! :)
He’s as cute as can be. I just want to reach through the screen and snuggle him. Looking forward to more pics! :)
He’s good for snuggles, he’s also good for digging holes in the garden and running off with washing :)
Adorabubble!
:)
In every shot, he has this inquisitive expression!
Yes, wondering is he’s in trouble yet ;)
What an adorable little dog :-)
He’s an absolute gem , Rebecca :D
So cute. I want a puppy!
I’ve been thinking of getting a dog… I’d like one like Alfie. He’s adorable. I like what you said that with the dog the house becomes a home again. :)
Alfie is gorgeous :) Lovely to meet you both!
Thank you! Lovely to meet you.
He’s beautiful. We’re 6am most mornings atm with the new pup so I feel you pain. Like someone else says, it won’t be forever :)
