What's it all about Alfie?

Surprise!!!

Well having put 'Dream Dog' project on hold this little bundle of fluff just came along on Saturday completely by chance!

So over to Alfie ...

"Hello everyone pleased to meet you all at last. I am a 10 week old Chinese Crested Powder Puff - or as my mum lied to my dad - a Chinese Crested With Fur, because apparently he thinks powder puffs are for girls.

I've been told I appeared with my sister on The Dogs Trust Facebook Page as a special appeal.  We were both brought to the rescue centre in a real state. Somebody has cut off the ends of both of our ears, but the horrible lady made out that we had been play fighting!  Come off it, we are only big enough to hurt a dandelion at the moment.  

Dolliedaydream pretended she was having a new gas meter fitted on Thursday afternoon and came to visit us both.  My sister had already found a home in Shropshire so I was feeling kind of lonely. Lucky for me I ran over to DollieD gave her a lick and she was smitten.  She just had to break the news to her husband who was working in London that day!

But who could resist my charms and good looks?  Dogs Trust managed to organise a super speedy home visit by the lovely Michelle (who also owns 3 Chinese Crested and 2 collies) and the rest as they say is history.

After an informative dog owning induction, the Muggles were able to bring me to my new home on Saturday morning.

I've settled straight in, we are thankfully having some sunny weather so I am LOVING the garden.  I have a mad hour in the mornings racing circles around the lawn. I'm too excited to eat much at the moment and that pesky cat keeps trying to steal my food and THEN has the cheek to attack me if I go anywhere near her.

Poppy I think she is called. She sounds like The Omen when she trys to attack me, but I am getting good now at barking at her, then running away quickly.

The Muggles think it is ironic that they have given me some leather pigs EARS to chew. I'm not sure what the joke is, but it's my favorite toy.

I've already made some local friends.  I had my first (of many I hope) visits to the pub yesterday to watch the Muggles and my fur grandmama eat their roast dinners, whilst I slept on their feet under the table. My next door neighbours little boy likes to play with me and I am just starting to get used to having a walk down the lane in my harness but I dont like the cars very much.

I even met the post man on my walk this morning and I've promised never to bite him as long as he agrees to deliver me some treats from time to time ...

Yaaawn well that's it for me for today. I'm still a little sleepy from my antibiotics but I'll be back with some more dog tails   tales later in the week.

In the meantime DollieD has told me to remind you about her British Blog Bake Off, so please keep reading for some more details and a happy belated July 4th to all our American friends.

Much love Alfie
