Alfie's first holiday camping :)

Summer holiday!! 

Well Alfie went on his first holiday in a tent the other weekend and what fun he had. Before we went we put the tent up in the garden so Alfie could get use to what it looked and smelled like. I thought he would find it a bit daunting as it is quite big but just like Alfie he wasn't bothered. We went in side snifter it and that was it. We left it up so he could get use to it. 

As we have never been camping with a dog before, we found it hard to find a space for Alfie to sit. We though we would have enough room as we were only going for the week. Oh no the car was full and poor Alfie only had a little room on the back seat, but he was amazing curled himself into a little ball and fell asleep. Note to self roof rack for next time or take less. :) 

Traveling down was a nightmare stuck in holiday traffic 4 hours it took :( Look at my little mans face, I no I keep saying it but he is brill, he is so patient. 

We put the tent up and put Alfie on a long line that is screwed in to the grass. Alfie loved walking around the tents and lying on the grass. 

We then went to the beach at Weston Super Mare and he went paddling in the sea and had so much fun, though he does not like the waves.

Paddling with dad

After been at the beach all day he slept the whole night till the next day. We worn him out :) 

 An evening stroll after a thunder storm which again didn't bother him head stuck his head out if the tent and watched the rain come down. I think this is down to letting him experience lots if sound and different things from such a small age and not making a big deal of things if there was a loud bang or something. 

Then back to the beach to finish off our holiday on Brean Sands. Found out that he love horse poo :( that is not so good. Alfie has started to lye down if he sees another dog walking pass, looking all cute and as soon as they get closer enough pounce at them in playful mode like come and play. Poor dog pops themselves. 

Thank you for coming to have a look at Alfie's first holiday please leave a comment at the bottom as i love to read your stories and tips about dogs.

11 month old Alfie

Where has the time gone??? 

I can't believe Alfie is nearly 1 years old. 

So what has been happening in the life of Alfie over the last couple of months. Where do I begin.!! 

At the moment we are in the middle of moving house which has not been going very smoothly. 7 months down the line and we are just about to move in our new house. So Alfie has been sleeping at my mums for the last 3-4 months and occasional stays with us as we are staying at my husband's mum and dads. I must say though Alfie has been amazing, he is such a chilled out dog and seems to take it all in his stride. I am so lucky, but it is all coming to an end soon 1 more week and we can be a family again. 

Alfie is still continuing with obedience class at Kathy Bells in Stoke on Trent and is doing really well, he has just been moved in to the advance class. :) My little man is growing up to fast. After he turns 1 he will be going to fly ball class which I am so excited about, which will help him keep fit. 

Alfie has been on his first camping holiday to Weston Super Mare just for the weekend but what an amazing time we had. I will do a post with all this holiday photos. This weekend is doodle weekend  where he will be meeting his brothers and sisters. I am so excited I can't wait to see his reaction when he sees them again. So we are traveling to Porlock, Minehead way again just for the weekend and I will put up a post of what he gets up to. :) 

Look at these before and after pictures. 

6 weeks old

11 months

He is such an Amazing dog and look how handsome he is, I truly recommend a Goldendoodle to any one as his temperament is brilliant and he is so loving and not having with me fully for the last couple of months has been truly horrible. Alfie is my friend, my little man, my dogbert and I love him to bits but enough of me getting all mushy.

Thank you for reading, please leave a comment below as I love to read them.
