Deep end

by Alfie Entlebucher on March 14, 2011

Those of you who have been following me on Facebook have probably seen that I’ve got a new hobby. Its called swimming – or lets be honest its probably more like wading as my paws have been touching the ground the whole time. So far I’ve chased and retrieved sticks thrown into the river Thames, [...]

Saturday Treasure Hunts

February 27, 2011

Saturday morning walks are the best. The humans are collecting the recycling and rubbish, transforming our street to an obstacle and adventure course perfect for an inquisitive puppy like myself.

The lady at the dog school said I must have grown at least two feet since she saw me last week and it confused me so much that I couldn’t really focus on the ‘stay’ and ‘wait’ exercises afterwards. As an Entlebucher, I’ve never been good with numbers but I’ve been [...]
