Wordless Wednesday – Spring is in the air

by Alfie Entlebucher on May 2, 2012

Making Plans No I didn’t forget to tuck my lip into place – this is what I look like when I think! I’m making plans – trying to figure out a way to steal back the ball AND get back into the water without being caught and put back on the lead. Introducing My Little [...]

An Entlebucher Family Reunion in London, UK

I had to be on my very best behavior all day yesterday. Firstly because there were some humans who wanted to meet a real live Entlebucher Mountain Dog before they go and buy an Entlebucher puppy of their own, and also because my mum Queenie from Norfolk Fields and her human Kristina came all the [...]

The Easter Frisbee that sank like a stone

April 23, 2011

The Easter bunny brought me a shiny and new yellow frisbee – it was so pretty and smelled wonderfully of rubber. I’ve never owned a frisbee before, but I’ve always been jealous of the humans playing with them in the park and I’ve tried to catch their frisbee a couple of times. Anyway, I unwrapped [...]

Friday Foto Fun – My new Photo Challenge launching today!

April 22, 2011

Today is the big day when I’m launching my new photo challenge – I’m so excited a can’t stop spinning around! As it is the Easter season I thought the theme ‘Yellow’ would be appropriate. Think big and be creative – there are lots of yellow things around. I first thought I’d take a photo [...]

Hot, hot, hot

Entlebucher Mountain Dog Running Alfies Blog

How can it be so hot in April already? My black coat gets heated up in notime and I can only play with one, maybe two dogs before I have to break for a drink and rest in the shade. The mud has dried up as well so there is no real escape. I’m wondering [...]

A puppy’s view on crate sizes

April 19, 2011

I took my humans to the pet shop on Sunday. Actually it wasn’t quite that easy, first I had to spend all morning complaining about my crate, describing in detail how much I hate it because it is too small and how their bed looks so much more comfortable. They weren’t listening of course – [...]

Up for a photo challenge?

April 14, 2011

Last night I had the most amazing idea. I was half asleep on the cow hide in our living room, the humans were watching TV and everything was peaceful. Then, suddenly they changed channels and there it was – a dog on TV! It was a still image of what looked like a really cute [...]

A puppy’s view on barking at everything

Alfie Entlebucher watching the sausages being BBQ'd

As an adolescent Entlebucher puppy I find it is important to speak my mind. After all, I am part of the family so my opinion should count too. I’m also growing to love the sound of my own voice. Its like I can’t get enough of hearing my deep bark – I do sound like [...]

How mud can save a dog from heat stroke

April 8, 2011

I met up with Raffi today. He is my oldest friend from the park and he is the one who introduced me to mud diving back in the cold winter months. Back then, we just did it for a bit of fun. You jump in, run around, chase each other a little before putting your [...]

Celebrating a Dog’s Birthday in style

April 3, 2011

I went to my very first dog birthday party today. My friend Archie turned 1 and threw his party at the Windmill Cafe in Wimbledon Park. Some of my best friends were invited and I met some new buddies too. We spent some time sniffing each other’s butts and wrestling, before getting on to the [...]

Alfie Entlebucher at the butchers, scared of cow

As an Entlebucher Mountain dog I’m supposed to be prepared and ready for for cattle herding. I’ve always thought that sounded really cool, and its the kind of thing I sometimes brag about in the park to the other pups. Most of them have been bred as lapdogs, scent dogs or gun dogs and they [...]

Sheep skin and wrestling

March 30, 2011

I used to be in such a rush to get to the park. After all, for a puppy that’s where all the fun happens – mud puddles to explore, dogs to play with and toys to chase. I would do anything to get there faster, and have become somewhat an expert on dragging my humans [...]

Boatrace napping

March 27, 2011

Apart from my daily rounds of fetch, I don’t see myself as much of a sports dog. I do however love the Thames, and my humans know I get really excited about seeing the rowing boats on the water so they thought I might enjoy watching the Oxford-Cambridge boat race. Said and done, we strolled [...]

Right foot forward

March 26, 2011

Every dog needs to work out an acceptable waiting time for their morning walk. That is, how long are you willing to wait from being let out of your crate until you and your human are dressed and ready to leave the house. You can’t expect your humans to jump straight from bed and into [...]

Alfie Entlebucher Mountain Dog Puppy washing machine

I never miss an opportunity to help out with the laundry. The only thing better than a new batch of socks roasting on the radiator are socks fresh out of the laundry basket. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
