The plan for our weekend was simple. Pack the humans into the car, and get them to drive me out to Kent so that we could meet up with my little sister Bella and her new humans. I was really excited to meet her and had already thought about what mischief I was going to teach her, and I wanted to give her some tips on how to train her humans too. And then I found out that two more of my younger siblings would be there too, Eiger and Bonnie. I was too excited for words so I kept wagging my tail all the way over to the park we were meeting in.
Meeting the Puppies
As soon as I saw the puppies coming towards us I realised the flaw in my plan. Humans love puppies and they wouldn’t leave me alone with them long enough even to teach them the most basic mischief. Here’s one of my humans with her hands full of fluffy little pups.

My other human wasn’t any better – it was all about the puppies. Puppies, puppies puppies. At this point I had to resort to playing fetch with one of the puppies’ humans who took pity on me.

I mean, what’s the big deal with puppies anyway?
They can’t walk properly.
They’re slow, and they chew everything that comes their way.
I would even go as far as saying they’re not really dogs yet.
I suppose they can be cute.
Bonnie
Alright, I admit, they can be really cute.
Bella and Eiger
But they can’t play fetch properly. They’re fluffy. And they’re kind of lazy.
Look at them, lazying around while I do all the hard work!
But I guess a little sister comes in handy when you want to borrow her waterbowl at the end of a good game of fetch!

What do you reckon doggies out there – how long will I have to wait before I can teach the puppies a good game of chase and how to fetch a ball in style?
And when can I start teaching them mischief? Can you ever be too young for mischief? *waggy tail*

As soon as you can get your humans to leave those puppies alone for a few minutes I’m sure you can teach them some good mischief.
Maybe next time *waggy tail*
Mmmm…… you know what Alfie? If I were you you, I’d wait until those humans have done all the hard work of teaching the puppies all the basics, and then come in and do the mischief fine-tuning yourself. By then the humans won’t be paying so much attention anymore, and that’ll give you the opportunity to give those youngsters some really good mischief ideas!
By the way, they’re an awfully cute bunch; you must be so proud of your extended family!!
good idea! *waggy tail*
Thanks for coming over big bro… and thanks for taking me outside while the humans were eating dinner and giving me that advice. I’m just waiting for the right moment as you said … then I will start your plan. I’m going to do a lot of running so that one day, I can race you to your ball. See you soon Alfie! WOOF!!
Shhhhh that’s our secret! *waggy tail*
Puppies can be a real pain in the furry behind but I kind of like them because I can boss them around and they listen to me. They do steal all the attention, though, which is a real problem. Emma : )
Yeah I did make sure they knew who’s in charge, but I reckon they’ll be much more fun to play with when they’re a little older *waggy tail*
Darn! All you needed was just a few moments alone with those puppies and I’m sure you could have taught them something! I had to laugh at the picture with the puppies and your fetching your ball in the background! LOL! They are adorable!!
Well someone had to fetch that ball and those puppies weren’t fast enough *waggy tail*
Puppies can be quite distracting:) I bet they will be ready for you to teach them about all kinds of fun very soon!
I hope so! *Waggy tail*
Ha!! puppy and other animal babies are the cutest!! No one can deny that
fortunately I am still a baby too
Rooo agree- they are super cute! *waggy tail*
Oh my gosh…so much cuteness in one place!
Hey Alfie,
Sorry to hear it didn’t go to plan buddy
But at least you got to do some fetch 
I think the puppies are actually trying to lull their humans into a false sense of security and then they’ll spring some Mischief on them, no age is too young for Mischief, so they sure can learn a lot from you already buddy!! I think they’re totally ready to unleash some Mischief Mayhem!! Tee Hee
Your pal Snoopy
PS – They are super cute
I do hope they’re reading my blog so they can see all the mischief I was up to as a puppy! *waggy tail* I can always give them a copy of your book when its ready!
Oh, they sure are cute – I hope you get to teach them some mischief soon!!
Ooh, it would be so much fun to have some Mischievous Minions! They sure are lucky to have your guiding paw to encourage them in the right directions.
Minions? I like that word *waggy tail*
There will be plenty of time for mischief soon enough, that’s so great that you got to play with your siblings! They are lucky to have you around as their big brother to show them the ropes of how to properly train humans
I have a fun idea for what you can do with your humans, dropping you a line in a bit, hehe.
Rooo thanks for stopping by Tony – it was lots of fun to meet the little ones! *waggy tail*
