I think Alfie was conceived about the same time Oliver died. But I'm ready for a new friend.

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!

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!

They are the best-smart, funny, loving, anxious to please. Notice I left out “obedient”! Sometimes they are; sometimes they think they know better than you!

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.

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!

Joey, although she had one brown eye and one blue eye. She was a ball of energy and liked to herd people in the park. Have fun with your furbaby!

Wed Oct 7, 2020, 08:53 PM
Oct 2020

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.
