Lee is there anywhere left for you to sit ? X
There you are eddiel are you ok? I’ve not seen you for a few days x
Hi Chelle, thank you for asking, I'm ok now, little Alfie is certainly shooting up, his little legs are twice as long than in the last pic you posted, and is that his, I'm hungry look, or it's playtime look, what a cutie.

He does seem to have very long legs doesn’t he! Thats his “oh no! Not another photo “ look. He doesn’t like the phone, probably because I’m always pointing it at him taking pictures. X
He's so photogenic, the handsome little fella, what does he expect, how's his social life, has he made any puppy friends, or come across the local cats, I'm guessing their still too big and scary to approach, it's fab watching them discover the world, I imagine you have a constant smile watching him.

He seems to prefer humans over dogs. People will stop on their dog walks to say hello, but he’s not fussed by the dogs. He does love my daughter’s cocker spaniel though who we stayed with last week. We have several cats living near by, but he hasn’t taken any notice of them yet, but we haven’t had any in our garden yet, that may be different. He loves to chase the pigeons away, yet he will sit and watch the ducks. He has also just started to come to me for proper cuddles! That was my worry, Bella was such a lap dog and I worried Alfie wasn’t going to be, but now we have started to settle in to a routine, and he is coming to me to be picked up on the sofa where he will settle for a couple of hours. He’s a real joy to have. Xx
Morning Chelle, sounds like little Alfie's being careful, which s good, did he grow up in a litter, and was he the runt?, horrible word for the nicest puppy, he's bringing back lots of memories of Poppy's puppy time, though being a Jack Russell, puppy time lasts about 7 years, Poppy's 1st best friend was next doors kitten, which used to come into the garden and house to play, maniacs lol, fortunately cats grow up quickly and he lost interest in Poppy, though their still friends, jack Russell's are a jekyll and Hyde dog, very friendly, obedient, loving dogs, who love their cuddles, but that all disappears when they see rodents, so be careful, he'll likely not take any notice of you when he sees one, though maybe not being 100% JR, may change that.
