Enjoy him. He is perfect!

(14,075 posts)They are really active dogs and need to have a job, just like border Collies, or they will get into trouble. And boy will they! But if they are kept busy and have a job, even if it's minding your children or herding your cats or chickens, they are fine LOL They're great dogs though, and smart!

(11,005 posts)I have an Alfie living across the street from me. But he's a Goldendoodle the size of a small pony.
You are going to have so much fun with Alfie!
He's gorgeous. Please give him some tummy rubs for me!

(54,793 posts)Does he still have "puppy breath"? I love that smell, like a new car smell but it doesn't last lobg. Same with round puppy bellies.

(12,181 posts)A great break and pick-me-up from the news that runs the gamut from dire to forehead-smacking idiocy.
Aussies are GREAT dogs. Smart, loyal, energetic and seem eager to please. What dog owner doesn't love their current dog more than any other they've had?
My wife. Her Aussie, Dixie, was and is still her favourite, although I will say our current Cairn (Ozzie, because Toto) is a close second.
Great pictures - enjoy this guy!
milestogo
(22,792 posts)Yeah, I really needed this. I don't have as much time to watch the news now.

(22,792 posts)Even though the movie is about a rogue who uses women, the presence of the song at the end suggests a reckoning. I saw an interview with Burt Bacharach who thought it may be the best lyrics Hal David ever wrote.
I like both the Michael Caine and the Jude Law versions of Alfie... so I love the name. But my Alfie will be neutered.
