Introducing Alfie!
Just as a change from Singapore and my holiday last week in Tenerife to spend my birthday near to my brother and his family, I would like to introduce you to this young man..
I flew back on Saturday and on Sunday morning I fetched him to his new home… this photo was taken in the first five minutes of arriving back here!
Alfie is 14 weeks old and gorgeous!
He is a Whippet with a little bit of Bedlington Terrier in there somewhere!
He started off cowering when he was being touched and had runny eyes, itchy ears and a tummy problem.
He also had a strange smell about him so first of all – a bath was needed…
and a cuddle of course..
He was introduced to his crate which he is quite happy with, thank goodness
And 3 days on after a visit to the vet for ear and eye treatment plus first vaccination – he is feeling a little better..
He had some presents that squeaked – they scared him at first but this morning he felt much better about them..
Chasing them round the kitchen and the garden – no photos there I’m afraid – he’s far too quick for me!!!!
So…… I will finish the Singapore story and add my Tenerife Tale but at the moment a smaller waggy tail is taking over my home and I might have to do some dog blogging again!!!!!

You missed the bit about him biting his shadow – bless him!
Oh he’s gorgeous Kate! Nothing like a baby around the house to brighten things up and make you smile. The best kind of chaos.
I want, I want! Must be patient – I will soon be moving to a house with half an acre – definitely enough room for a dog, no matter what my cats say.
Aww he’s adorable. I’m so glad you got a dog, you must be missing Hippy big time.
Ah Keiron – there are so many things…I could already write a book… as I type he is removing the buttons to set the timer on my oven!!!… i must remember to keep them safe…..
Geri – you’re right…. its mayhem!!!! But he makes me laugh!!
DBM – Max is hiding at the moment but he’ll change – after all he did tame a greyhound before – so I’m sure your cats will cope! Half an acre? I only have a small garden but he will be a’ quick run and a rest dog’ when he calms down ……
Baino – Yes – I do miss Hips but she comes to stay sometimes – she’s not too keen on puppy power though and goes off to hide when he gets rough!!!
What a pretty little fellow! I look forward to hearing about all kinds of adventures!
I recognise the being afraid of squeaky toys at first thing. LOL!
It looks to me as though he’s very happy in his new home. Lucky Alfie!
Jay – he is a sweetie and he’s getting used to things now after a shaky start! Adventures? I’d have to be extremely quick with the camera – maybe when things slow down….. if ever?
Nick – oh I hope so!!! When I can take him out and introduce him to the world it will be much better for him!!!!
Hi Kate, Belated happy birthday wishes and welcome to your new housemate!
Waggy tails and scritches to Alfie from Taffy and William xx

Taffy’s Mum – Thank you so much for the birthday wishes – it seems to have gone on for so long I feel like royalty – Alfie says thank you – he likes a fuss!!!!
English Mum – I know – fun times all round – but sometimes we have to wait till its right – DBM is on the road to dog ownership – i can just feel it!!!!
