Cute...cute...cute!!! What an adorable dog he is. Love the pic of him laying his little head on the pillow.

He is so sweet and cuddly - just like our Finney!:love:

Hi, Alfie- cutie-pie is right!! And hi, Ebby! :love: :love:

Oh Alfie, you are just adorable! Of course you have a hard act to follow, little boy. :love:

[sallyandsnowx]

Oh Alfie, how adorable! Look at you guarding your home. Your so precious, you would probably attack someone with lots of kisses. :love::D

Hi Alfie. I was just thinking of you a few days ago - wondering how you were doing and when Mom was going to post more pics. Someone must have been reading my mind! ;)

You're looking as adorable as always! I had to laugh at your "dreaming" shots - so much like Sparky. It must be a breed trait of Shih Tzus to love pillows. Sparky is also known as "pillow pup" since he just LOVES all pillows. Anyones!!!!! Have Mom deliver a kiss from me, please. :love:

It looks like you deserved your rest Alfie after guarding your place! You're a sweetie!:)

Thanks for posting some pics of Alfie, loved them, especially the one by the table. He is doing a good job guarding the house. ;)

Give him some scritches from me, please! :love:

Btw, where is Ebby - we need some pics of her, too! Are they getting along?

[lizbud]

Hi there Alfie. You are looking as cute as ever.:love::love: I love the pic of you "praying" with front paws.:)

[krazyaboutkatz]

He's so adorable.:) I was also wondering how he and Ebby are getting along. Hopefully they at least tolerate each other.;)

[Bengalz]

Alfie you really are way too cute:love:. Your mommy must just want to kiss and cuddle you all day long:D:D ...

Thanks for the lovely comments guys. :)

Alfie still has a problem with other dogs so we can't go on walks around the park as I used to do with Bob but other than that he is a real sweetie. I was ill last week and he was a real cuddle bug, helped me feel a bit better. :)

Randi & Tracey, Ebby is fine, fat but fine. :) As for how she and Alfie get on, they kind of live separate lives, Ebbs in the bedroom and Alfie, well, not. It is not quite as bad as it sounds, I still have the pet gate up so Ebbs can see what's going on and although I've left it open many a time so she can come out she doesn't seem inclined to do so. It could be that there is nowhere for her to lie where she feels ... I don't know, safe maybe. Perhaps a tall cat tree would do the trick, I may get one and see. I'll let you know and, if I do, take some photos.

Love the photos Chris. I wonder about Alfie and the other dogs. Have you doggie daycare where you live? I found that Prue learned to tolerate the other dogs by going to daycare without me. She tries to protect me and without me, she is fine. I don't take her there anymore but it is a thought. Or maybe have someone else try to walk him and see if that helps. Treats are good too. It seems like such a shame to not be able to take walks and socialize her.

By the way, I would NEVER take Prue, my dog, to a public gathering with other dogs, as she WOULD bark the whole day! She is good at dog parks though. Go figure. So much for my advice!

:love::love:

Thanks sas. :)

I've taken Alfie to dog training and we got it under control, mostly, but he can still can get 'hysterical' sometimes when we come across other dogs. I do take him out for walks but avoid the park because it is where a lot, if not most, owners walk their dogs daily, given the heart murmur he has it can be far too stressful and certainly worries me.

Smooches and cuddles to Alfie, the cute.
