Alfie is a very cheeky monkey indeed. He sits at the back door looking out into the garden, we let him out and he does a no.1, he then comes bouncing up to us for treat. All good so far Then, not 2 seconds later, he's looking at the back door again we let him out & he promptly does a no.2 , he then comes bouncing back looking for another treat ps. what a handsome boy in his red coat waiting patiently to go for an evening walk

He's had a great time. Foster Mum and Dad are having a day out so Alfie came to stay. He is collapsed after having a day of running around with the gang. We did Pets at Home, loved everybody there and submitted to every tiny dog around. The chihuahuas had him in a leg lock He has a temperament to die for. Love you little man. Best buddies, and raaraaars all day Bunny inspection Quality testing Empty shelves. Yep, Markies. Will anyone notice if I just.... Oh scary, I submit We so love this little man. We needs his own sofa before he breaks his foster mum and dad's hearts.

Alfie definately enjoyed his day at Aunty Jenny's, after a very quick wee in the garden when we got home, he went straight up to bed (without being called) and slept through till about 9:30 giving his foster mummy & daddy a lovely lie in Whilst distracted by another dog coming along the path... There are just so many leaves in Harlow, better take this one home... When is Tag coming to play?

hi i have some questions about alfie for anyone who knows! how is his recal so far? has he ever met sheep? (i live in quite a sheepy area...) and how tall is he? thanks! hi. His recall still requires work. We only let him off-lead within an enclosed area, he does return for treats most times!! but as a young pup he is easily distracted and wants to go say hello to everyone, being the little social bunny that he is. He has not met any sheep whilst he has been fostered with us. I just measured him, approx 22" to the shoulder, but he was sleeping on the sofa at the time of measurement Nikki x

I can't believe how much he's grown At 22" he's now as tall as Judy. When I first brought him into the MaD House he could walk underneath her belly He was a wonderful little puplet then and he looks even better now

He may be a nutter with sharp claws, but he has a temperament to die for

When we first got Alfie he used to get very exited at mealtimes & pounce on his food the second we put it down - so we decided to train him to be patient. This video proves he can learn pretty well (as long as there's a bowl of food at the end of it....)Of course, even though he waits nicely to be told he can eat, he still wolfs it down in 5 seconds when he's given the go-ahead. Which sometimes results in this....

Alfie went to visit some new prospective adopters, but it was thought best after two visits that it was not the home for Alfie, or Alfie the dog for the home. They have a cat and Alfie WAS interested. Adrian sadly had to return to a full-time contract this morning work-wise and Nikki is full-time so they reluctantly brought Alfie round to me last night. Alfie went dog training and was a little star. He slept all night, no probs in his bed on the landing. No appetite loss either, and it has been play play play with Tag. I know you guys have put an emense amount of effort into Alfie and I know you both love him to bits, particularly you Ade. Those last video clips just show how much little man has come on. Unfortunately with Elly being very frail and Mims poorly Alfie had to be taken over to Eve today for fostering. At least he is still near Ade and Nikki in Harlow. We are crossing fingers that the perfect home may have been homechecked already, but are on holiday. Alfie doesn't have a bad bone in his body and when he met Phinn today they played from the first minute. Sorry to burden you Eve and thank you for taking Alfie at the last minute for us.
