My latest guest star: Toby the Bodeguero

I don't want to steal @catrionas 's thunder, but just wanted to quickly say that Alfie has arrived home safe and sound. Catriona has kindly shared photos and video and Alfie appears to be settling in VERY quickly and looks happy and playful. She even gave him his very own broom!
Sigh...what a happy ending. Or in this case, a happy beginning!

 

Wonderful news Emily, I'm sure you are very relieved on all counts.

 

I cannot get over how much effort is put into these dogs. The kindness of these people - of course including you @Emily_BabbelHund in a huge way.

I am so excited for Alfie and can't wait for updates!

 

Hooray for happy beginnings !

 

Sorry I havent posted before I have been busy- I have no idea why lol.
Well Alfie arrived safely as you know and he has been a star. He seems to have settled in remarkably well already. Oh the broom just went past the door!
So far I have discovered his dislike of bicycles, vacuum cleaners and rather large over friendly dogs. Although I will say in his defense we were out walking and him and Toby were pounced on by a rather large husky type who was super friendly but no owner was in sight. Toby got annoyed and Alfie backed him up the owner turned up and wasnt very polite, but Alfie and Toby settled down as soon as he left the scene.
The most amazing thing is taking Alfie onto a local playing field and playing ball with him- he loves it and we had no problem putting his lead back on him when another dog appeared.
He has also discovered that English pigeons are no different to their Spanish counterparts and are great to chase. He sits at the back door looking out, sniffing and has a bark every now and again at the huge digger that appears every now and then on the site behind us.
To say we love him is an understatement - even the 4.30am wake up call this morning. I got up let him out then went back to bed I awoke a little later to find him in bed with me- mmm not sure that will be encouraged lol. He has his own bed a duvet on both the childrens beds.-- ahh the broom is now indoors back in a min!!!

 

I am trying to post pics and a video but cant seem to do it Emily can you???

So apart from a couple of little presents left by the back door he is being an amazing dog and is getting on with Toby and Bill the cat has smacked him a couple of times so he knows his place.

Emily thank you xxxxx

 

Lovely to hear the news about Alfie

Oh my that is just too precious for words!!

 

Hi @Catronias - looks like you've sorted out how to post photos but anything you want me to post, just let me know.

Love hearing about him and how well you all are doing - despite missing socks and stolen bread loaves.

The updates are so precious and I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome.
Somehow to me the fact that you got him his own broom just kind of says it all!

 

What lovely photos , so very pleased that all is going well , brilliant news x

 

Heartwarming!!! What a beautiful ending to this story. Or should I say: beginning.

 

It says the video is not available.

 

I think it's probably this one. Not sure if this will work with just the Facebook link, but I'll give it a try.

Sorry, edited to remove link - not sure if I'm breaking FB etiquette by sharing a link to someone else's page. I'll ask Catriona first.

 

Heartwarming indeed xx

 

Fantastic!! So great to hear it's all going well so far!

 

Fantastic beginning, @catrionas. So thrilled for you and Alfie and his new family.

 

Fantastic news
