Well, Alfredo came for Christmas and he's still here at New Year ...
... yes, he seems to be getting more settled with every passing day. The picture was taken, here in the office, a moment ago and that basket is really Harpo/Zeppo size. So it seems to be true that a lurcher can fit in anywhere. In his own quiet way Alfredo likes to know where I am and, as you can see, he's starting to stay a little closer. In a calm home, with people who respect his affectionate but independent nature, Alfredo will blossom. They also need to be prepared for some goofy moments. Usually Alfredo is kind but firm with the boys but today Harpo felt it necessary to tell him off about something. Alfredo made the classic gesture of rear down, tail under and move away but I swear he did it with a smirk ... we have to humour the little squirt! Seriously, we've reached the fortnight milestone when H&Z usually bring out the rule book so it's fingers crossed that nothing silly happens to disrupt a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely update. ...brilliant news the boys have let Alfredo stay a bit longer
Re: Alfredo Spanish "Terrier" DoB 19.12.14 Kingston Xmas Fos
Just a glimpse of the frenetic life we lead here ... not!
... Alfredo - adorable boy - has adopted Pat ...
... Zeppo has reorganised the bone rota ...
... and Alfredo shows how he's not really that interested in food.
And, while we're on the subject of food, Alfredo currently eats the same quantity as H or Z - in two meals per day - and takes the same time to finish it. No squabbling either. Re: Alfredo Spanish "Terrier" DoB 19.12.14 Kingston Xmas Fos
Great to see! Alfredo is one smart cookie (with great bat ears).

Alfredo has clearly been sent here by a higher power with a message that I need to tidy the place. Not only does he have a "thing" for textiles he also seems to have a passion for cleaning materials. At least, he's been raiding the bag of stuff I bought before Christmas and left in the hall; taunting me that it's not good enough to just buy it, I actually need to use it ... or he will! First it was an antibacterial spray - took a lot of insisting that it was "Mine!" - then a full bottle of disinfectant which was, thank heaven, much easier to retrieve. In an unrelated incident I found a new pair of work gloves had been removed from their packet and placed unharmed, and matched, on my bed.
In the meantime, Moonflete, I hear what you're saying! Harpo and Zeppo were only going to be here for a month while I was between jobs. We've just had our fifth Christmas together. Incidentally the boys are visibly pleased that Alfredo doesn't receive special treatment; he can be yelled at too. Now why on earth would I ever need to do that ...?
