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

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

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!

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.
