Alfie

good looking dog BT hope you have many years of fun with him as you can see by my avatar ours does not know which way is up!!

Thanks jeffcc, your dog looks as soppy as Alfie...

BT - you're obviously as besotted with Alfie as I am with our adorable Meg and I wish you many happy years together.  We have never had a dog before - previously being cat people, but getting Meg was the best decision of my life.  She goes everywhere with me, is totally loyal and obedient (well, most of the time - she is a Cockapoo when all said and done!) and is so loving and gentle with everyone.

She loves caravanning and gets so excited when we are packing the van to go away and doesn't settle until she is finally put in her cage in the back of the car to set off.

Have loads of fun and enjoyment.

 

You're right richard, Alfie is our world at the moment. Dogs do make a great difference to your life and give back just as much love that they receive, all they want to do is please you...

What a gorgeous dog!

We keep thinking about getting a puppy, after losing our beautiful spaniel a few years ago. He loved 'vanning as much as we do.

Will work on OH tonight!

 

Keep trying Pliers, you know it makes sense...

Only just spotted this, Brian.......that is a cracking looking dog!

I was interested in your comments about not leaving him behind anywhere....one of the things that stops us from getting one is that I wouldn't want him / her to be left and wondering how easy it is to fit that into our lives (after 38 years of just the two of us).

Anyway, it sounds like you both give each other equal pleasure and I hope that continues for you - I'm sure it will 

Thanks Ian, yes Alfie is a little cracker, he's never left on his own, we even take it in turns to sit with him in the car while the other does the shopping, lets face it, who would leave a little baby alone? If you do take one on, I hope that you're as lucky as we are with Alfie...

Great news BT, he is a lovely looking dog, hope he enjoys the motorhoming. 

Thanks H and T, he is a great pup, he has been out once with us last week and we are going away for two nights this friday, breaking him in slowly, he was good last time...

Only just refreshed the page and now I can see him....lots of fun and games ahead! 

Again, thanks to all for your good wishes, here is an update on Alfie's progress.....

Not cried at night since the first night here,

Has not fouled the house for last two weeks, has an occasional excited leak.

He sits by the door when asked if he wants a "P" ro "Poo" if he needs to go.

He now sits every time on command,

He sits before he is picked up for a cuddle.

He sits and waits before eating his food.

Allows me or Mrs bt to take his food away while he is eating.

He stays in his basket when we eat our meals, no begging or crying.

Now pulls only slightly when out walking.

He is so intelligent that I'm sure he is now thinking of ways to get an extra treat out of me.

Settled very well in car and motorhome.

We can't believe that we have only had him three weeks, he's made such good progress...

He looks handsome and is very lucky to have a good home , I wish you many happy years with him , we still have Jack our 11 year old chocolate lab , he's been ill off and on for the last couple of years but he rallied on x

Thanks Janny, I think that we are the lucky ones as Alfie has taken to us so well. Hope Jack stays fit and well for you...

Brian timber , we have been staying at Wroxham all week , Jack can't walk to far now when he's tired he gets in his buggy , sad when they get old , I hope your doggy is well .
