7. For his bday he got some doggie ice cream and was allowed to tear apart the cup.

18. I love to do that! Can't wait till my birthday.

What a beautiful, good boy!

[BlueDawn]

28. Awwww......that is wonderful!

Doggie ice cream sounds delish. Does Alfie have a favorite flavor?

I bet tearing up the cup just adds to his fun!

5. Wow, those eyes

I wonder if Alfie will learn to do side eyes. With that face and those eyes it would be intense.

My neighbor's miniature Dachshunds are masters of the side eye.

6. He's always looking straight ahead.

And the blue eyes make him appear perpetually startled. Like "you want me to do WHAT?"

Maybe he'll do it as he gets older.

9. I don't know if you use twitter, but the second photo is an example

That side eye speaks volumes.

16. A vet told me a dog is at half it's full weight at 6 months.

He’s going to be a big, beautiful puppers.

[milestogo]

19. That would make him a 100lb Australian Shepherd!

I heard that you double their weight at 16 weeks, which for Alfie would be 2x 30lbs. At 60lbs he would still be 10lbs bigger than his parents.

He was the biggest eater of the litter. I'm expecting him to be 65 lbs or so. That's still very large for an Aussie. He eats like a horse, and doesn't have an ounce of fat.

So, I just keep feeding him and he never says no thanks.

[Phoenix61]

21. I hope I'm wrong. A 60lb dog is a very nice size. nt

[milestogo]

25. sure it is.

My last 2 dogs were around 65lbs, so I'm used to that. But I did think he'd be 50lbs, like his parents.

[BigmanPigman]

17. His paws are perfect.

So nice and white and trimmed. My dog used to clean herself a lot, especially her toes. She was like a cat, not a Chihuahua.

[milestogo]

20. All the dirt just falls off indoors.

I keep waiting for him to grow into his feet.

22. Such a gorgeous baby! Happy Birthday, young Alie. So happy to meet you!

[Karadeniz]

23. Alfie, you look like a VERRRRRY good boy! Happy birthday and many, many more!!!!

[milestogo]

24. thank you all for celebrating this milestone with me!

[Dem2theMax]

26. Happy birthday Alfie!

I wish I could give this to you in person.

[DoBotherMe]

27. He is fantastic!
