pooch-pack-review-2990

Roo I really love my job as a dog sometimes. Like when a big box of goodies turn up with my name on it, and they want me to review the stuff inside! *waggy tail*. This time around I’m reviewing a monthly subscription service of dog goodies called Pooch Pack. You might remember that I reviewed their [...]

Fings-For-Fido-Review-1036

  When Lola Dog from Fings for Fido emailed me to ask if I’d like to review one of her goodie boxes I got so excited that I nearly knocked the humans over with my waggy tail. I went straight to her website to check out what I was about to receive: Regular Box: “Each [...]

A couple of months ago, my human confessed to me that she was really jealous of my blog and she wanted to write about dogs too. I had to be firm and put my paw down and tell her that Alfie’s Blog is my space, and that unless she grew a waggy tail anytime soon [...]

I ran into a really big dog the other day. And when I say big, I mean really HUGE. He was a twelve month old Great Dane and his human said he weighed in at 75 kg – that is three times my weight! My humans have trained me to get along and play with [...]

When my humans took me to the vets last week to get some more eyedrops and antihistamine tablets for my hayfever they were also told they have to clean my ears. I was a bit offended at first because I pride myself at being a very clean Entlebucher Mountain Dog – the humans help me [...]

I’ve been having problems with hayfever all summer. When the sun is out and the air is dry, my eyes get really red and itchy. But then as soon as there’s a bit of rain my eyes feel much better again. The vet told me its all getting worse because we live in the city [...]

Ever since I was a tiny little puppy, my humans have received a weekly email from Dogster, with tips and ideas on puppy training. Its usually quite basic advice like ‘don’t forget to socialize your puppy’ or  ’how to potty train your dog’ and we usually have all of it covered already. This week however [...]

Those of you who’ve met me, or read my blog regularly know I like to put my Entlebucher Mountain Dog nose to good use – either to sniff out where the food is hidden, or to play ‘Find It’ with my humans. ‘Find it’ isn’t as easy as it might seem at first, there are [...]

As an Entlebucher Mountain dog I’ve always expected to get some sort of job when I grow up. After all, isn’t that why we’re called working dogs? Sometimes though, the humans seem to have strange ideas about what sort of jobs that might include. Yesterday for example, I was fast asleep in the living room [...]

Yesterday was one of my humans’ birthday and I thought I’d surprise him with the best gift I could think of – A Big Entlebucher Mountain Dog cuddle in bed!. There was only one problem with that idea, as you know my humans have never allowed me in their bed. The other human had just [...]

Another beautiful summers day and what better way to spend it than going swimming? My humans took me to the Thames and let me off the lead in a new place, where the boats get into the water. The water looked a bit deeper than usual and I though I’d give swimming a miss for [...]

Alfie the Entlebucher Dog discovers he has hay fever

Its difficult to see your own eyes when you can’t stop barking at the mirror, but my humans and their friends kept telling me I had really red eyes and perhaps I should go to the vet to have them checked out. Said and done – we went to the vets last week and it [...]

Its not easy being a black coated mountain dog when the weather is getting warmer. Especially not when you have so many canine friends to play with and dog toys to chase. In fact, unless you get  a short haircut like my blogging friend over at ‘a view from the furry side’  you have to [...]
