My new boy ... Alfie.

[lizbud]

Awwww, great pictures. Looks very very good to see Ebby & Alfie relaxing so much & in the same room.

[sasvermont]

Chris, how do you explain the very obvious difference in the sofa rules? It seems that Ebby is allowed on the sofa, but not Alfie. Just saying.....and of course, just kidding you.

Like I said in an earlier post, I allow Prue my dog, on the sofa but only if she stays in her bed. Same with my bed. She sleeps at the bottom of the bed, in her bed. Of course you need to follow whatever works for you.

It seems that the two critters are getting along nicely now. I wonder if they will play together. Prue and Lucy play when they are outside. Well, Lucy, not so much, but Prue tries to herd her and she tolerates it to a certain degree.

Did you ever get Alfie that promised bath? I think he has hair and not fur. Meaning that it will tangle more easily and get oily like people's hair. They are also less likely to create problems for people with allergies, since they have hair. I don't know where I heard all this but since Prue is a Tibetan Terrier and Alfie is a ..... of I forgot what he is, but they are related in breed.

Again, it is good to see that you are having an easy time of it with Alfie. Is he housebroken? Some breeder dogs are not.

Keep those pictures coming!

Oh, Chris, after reading SAS's post, I remembered what I wanted to ask you. If you have
attempted to bathe Alfie yet? I wanted to know how he felt about that.

I had a ST and she was the bestest.


The only problem?

She hated my GF, which, in retrospect, was a good thing.



Be prepared for many years of companionship, cuddling and loyalty.

(LOL, it's almost like being stalked.......)

Alfie is adorable!

[ChrisH]

Thanks guys.

He's being a pain in two ways, growling at my neighbour(s) and going more than a little ballistic at other dogs when out for a walk. Plus, a short while ago he peed on his bed.

Other than that ... (see next post)

What a cutie! A belated congratulations on your new addition!

[ChrisH]

Thanks Bri.

On the sofa? Been doing something like you do with Prue, he can lie on there in his bed after I have gone to bed. Housebroken? Yes, whilst at the foster and has been fine here ... until tonight. And yes, he is a Shih Tzu and does have hair not fur.

Gave him a bath this afternoon ... technically a shower, or a bath in the shower anyhow, he was pretty good.

[Killearn Kitties]

What a cutie he is Chris. I hope he is just settling down and these little issues vanish quickly.

Sending kisses to you Alfie (now you have had your bath).

[Edwina's Secretary]

Hello back to you pretty, clean Alfie!

[Bonny]

Congratulations on your Alfie. What a handsome boy.

[krazyaboutkatz]

He's even more adorable in his video. I also love the pictures of Ebby and Alfie sharing the same room. I hope he'll settle down more and stop peeing on his bed. Good luck.
It could be worse because he could be peeing in your bed.

[Alysser]

Welcome to PT, Alfie!! His face is so cute Chris, congrats

[ChrisH]

Thanks guys.

Got a few things to work on, oddly enough problems I didn't ever have with Bob, but Alfie is a bright boy and I'm sure we'll get there eventually. Time and patience.
