No joke- I've literally just sat on the bed and started writing this with my cute little Alfie snuggled up next to me and the most horrendous smell has just emanated and filled the whole bedroom. And before you ask it wasn't me!! How ironic that I'm about to tell you all how adorable he is and he goes and does that! Anyway, if you hadn't have guessed this post is all about my dog Alfie!
As he was a very spontaneous addition to the family, we hadn't thought of any names before hand. Kieran was insisting on naming him Jax after the main character in Sons of Anarchy and although I liked the name it just didn't suit him. After asking family and googling every dog name list possible we decided on Alfie. It was one of those moments where as soon as it was said we both knew it was perfect. It's a cute cheeky name that definitely suits his personality.
Alfie seems to listen more to Kieran then he does me - I think it's the deep voice. It gets to the point where I start telling him off in the deepest lowest voice I can and sound like Phil Mitchell from Eastenders in the middle of the park- not a good look for me, and he still doesn't stop barking! We've tried clickers and those aerosols for barking but had no luck. When we asked the vet for some advice on the matter she just looked at us and said- 'he's a Jack Russell- he will always bark!' Well I'm determined to prove her wrong!
