Alfie has been with us in foster for the past two weeks, thanks so much to Yvonne for looking after him so well beforehand. He’s incredibly gentle & timid, & is getting on great with his foster brothers, and the resident cat. He’s an absolute sweetheart, and would be very happy if his forever home included a doggy friend.

February 2, 2014 at 7:50 pm #119177cargMemberLittle Alfie is slowly growing in confidence & whilst he finds the outside world a very scary place he is making progress. He loves chicken so this helps to ease his worries…
He’d big day on Friday & spent the day in Mutley’s Empawrium in Portmarnock, just to broaden his horizons a little. He’d a fantastic time playing & snoozing the day away with another puppy. A huge thanks to the girls there for completely spoiling him. They reported back that he was as good as gold, but we knew that anyway.
Alfie is a really sweet, gentle, timid little puppy & it’s so nice to see him beginning to come out of his shell.

February 7, 2014 at 4:33 pm #119244IndiannaMemberNo, no, no. We cannot have you and your jumper on page two. Wouldn’t be able to sleep if that happened Hope you have a great weekend doing everything a brave puppy dog should be doing
February 7, 2014 at 5:00 pm #119246cargMemberNo, no, you’re right Indianna, thank you for alerting me to that.
Funnily enough, while Alfie was out on his walk today we were stopped twice because of that jumper. One woman was admiring it and wanted to know where we got it (she wants to get one for her dog ) and the other woman recognised him from the site because of his jumper!! We were stopped many other times by people admiring him.. and little Alfie took it all in his stride. He’s starting to really enjoy his walks & now skips along like a little lamb.
Alfie is an absolute dream to foster, & I’m really going to miss his gentle ways when he finds himself a forever home.

February 8, 2014 at 1:24 pm #119256yoddyMemberAlfie you are looking fantastic. Great to see you filling out and putting some weight on. Your confidence seems to be growing – actually enjoying your walks now – well there’s a surprise. They’re not so bad after all!
Having your brother Lucky showing you the ropes seems to be helping your confidence. You are one gentle little pup and I am delighted to see you progressing so much.February 11, 2014 at 12:54 pm #119227NatashaMemberAlfie had a great time in the park this morning running after his foster brothers and friends. Photo completely out of focus, oops…. but you’ll get the gist!
I am also an Alfie supporter Yoddy & Indiana, I know you will both be pleased to see him so happy. (I have to inform you that Alfie’s famous jumper is in the wash, so today on his outing he was little boy blue!!)

Alfie & his pals.JPGFebruary 11, 2014 at 2:05 pm #119145IndiannaMemberYou will have to be quick with the camera to catch any images of the boys running. Just look at those ears What a happy image
February 12, 2014 at 12:47 pm #119321yoddyMemberIt’s great to see Alfie running around without a care in the world while his poor Mammy is at home washing his jumper! Natasha I’m also glad that Alfie had the good manners to wear his blue jumper and not to appear in public with no clothes on! Lovely photo. Well done to his foster family (and Lucky) for getting him this far.
February 16, 2014 at 9:54 pm #118265cargMemberMy little superstar continues to shine. He’s had a busy schedule this weekend. He went to a family party yesterday where he had to contend with a lot of noise & activity, (even more than normal) & what we affectionately call, "the crazy collie", Riley. I was a little concerned about how he would manage but I didn’t want to leave him behind. I needn’t have worried, he followed Lucky’s lead & took it all in his stride. He was down at the beach today & had a good run around with his foster brothers & the kids. His recall is good so I can let him off lead without a problem.
Alfie really is as good as gold. He thrives in the company of other dogs, he’s cat friendly, he’s great with kids (who aren’t going to be too excitable around him) He can get a little unsure around new people but warms up very quickly. He is an absolute gem of a pup..

February 17, 2014 at 9:42 am #119381cargMemberHe did Indianna, he had a ball. This is the only pic I could get on my phone that wasn’t a complete blur.
February 21, 2014 at 10:05 am #119441IndiannaMemberGood morning the most fashionable creature on the site. Red suits you so very well. If you ever get onto a cat walk, don’t worry about it, you will not be walking on a cat You little star
