Stuff All Dogs Should Know

Writing About Dogs & Trying out HubPages

by Alfie Entlebucher on January 26, 2012

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 [...]

A Dog’s Quick Guide to Nose Work

December 17, 2011

My human and I shot these photos for the Daily Dog Challenge - the theme this time around was “See What I Can Do” - Does your dog have a hidden talent? Is he or she really good at something? Silly or realistic, show us what your dog can do. Some of my friends in the photo challenge have [...]

Why Puppy Socialisation is important

September 11, 2011

Alfie-entlebucher-meets-great-dane-200px

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 [...]

Ear drops – are they good or evil?

September 6, 2011

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 [...]

More Hayfever – More Eyedrops

August 31, 2011

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 [...]

How Not to stop your Puppy from Digging

August 18, 2011

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 [...]

How to Play My Favourite Game – Find it

July 9, 2011

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 [...]

The Puppy and the Mouse Situation

July 6, 2011

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 [...]

The Battle of the Humans’ bed

July 5, 2011

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 [...]

What’s the best tide for swimming?

July 1, 2011

Alfie-Entlebucher-dog-swimming-in-thames

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 [...]

Some exciting blog news…

June 30, 2011

I’m so excited – my humans are busy doing lots of cool work on my blog design, I wish I could show you straight away but you’ll have to wait a little longer! In the meantime I thought I’d let you know that I now have a new RSS feed from feedburner so if you’re [...]

Apparently Dogs get Hay Fever too – even in the City

May 18, 2011

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 [...]

Ever heard of the nasty Blue Green Algae and how poisonous it can be to us dogs?

May 8, 2011

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 [...]

A balanced diet is important to dogs too

May 4, 2011

A balanced diet is important. That’s why I didn’t only chew my human’s credit cards but threw in some cash too. (I made sure the online dog toy order was safely checked out first of course!)

Puppy to the rescue: Getting rid of the brown spots and patches in our lawn

April 28, 2011

Dog laying on grass with brown patches from dog urine

I’ve spent lots more time than usual in our garden in the last couple of weeks. Partly because of the hot weather but also because my humans have been out there playing with me and chilling in the shade. During winter the lawn was pretty muddy and I didn’t really pay much attention to it [...]
