I am Alfie. Da Superdog. Tada~ .. .. .. .. .. Meh! Just put me down and let me go back to sleep, will ya? That’s better. I like the sunshine and all, but I love my bed. Night…
First grooming experience
On the day Alfie turns 14-week-old, we gave him a present – a trip to the groomer. We’ve been trimming his hair bit by bit. We comb him every day – probably missed a day or two here and there, but it’s still pretty much a daily thing. It got to a point where his … Continue reading »
Alfie’s 13th week
There was lots of rain last week, so Alfie spent most of his time indoors, sleeping in his play pen and occasionally playing with us. And to celebrate his 13th-week birthday, he decided to give me a back massage. But really he was only sitting on my back.
Scammed. Almost.
Received a call last night from someone who works for a company associated with Microsoft. Apparently my computer is infested with viruses. It is generating too many error messages and is clogging up the Global Routing Services – which, obviously, is a made-up thing. The savior from India can help me resolve the problems and remove the … Continue reading »
Alfie’s new crate
So Alfie chewed through the zipper of his old crate, and we spent all day and night looking for his new crate. Turns out the best offer is by a small wholesale business tucked away in the backyard of a Queenslander in Moorooka. He’s coping well with the new environment and we made it fun giving him lots … Continue reading »
Alfie’s teething up a notch
Within hours of the last post going live, what we feared most happened. He chewed through the second zipper, which means the top of the crate can no longer be secured and he will have free access to practice his jumping skills. Like we’re going to let that happen. Ya. Ya right. The timing couldn’t have … Continue reading »
Alfie the Destroyer
Teething puppies tend to destroy things that, well, cross their paths. Alfie is no exception, but I do think he takes things to the next level at times. Extremely excited at times to the point where he needs to be restrained – which by the way he’s too small for the sit restrain, so instead … Continue reading »
Alfie’s Easter holidays
Having to deworm the little one on Easter Saturday, towards the end of his ninth week, meant sleepless days and nights for us as he gets really uncomfortable and edgy. We admitted him to the Animal Emergency Centre at Woolloongabba at 7.45pm on Sunday after observing his lack of appetite for food and water for more … Continue reading »
Alfie’s Days 6, 7 and 8
Day 6 | Wednesday, 4 Apr 2012 Either Alfie loves wet food (which we’re using as some form of laxatives to help him with his constipation), or he’s on some sort of adrenaline (which I don’t know how he got that from). Quickest breakfast ever. Finished in under 2 minutes and he licked his bowl … Continue reading »
Alfie’s Days 4 and 5
Day 4 | Monday, 2 Apr 2012 So to recap, Alfie pooed in his bed and we gave him a bath at 1.30am to make sure he can go back to sleep comfortably and also not stain the new set of bedding and plush. Seems like he knew he did something wrong so he was … Continue reading »
