Introducing Archie!

After losing Trixie, our house felt so empty without her, we didn't want to be there and we didn't want to come home. We went to an adoption day to look for a puppy and it might have been too soon, but then again it might always be too soon. It was so busy, there were heaps of people and we were overwhelmed so we left. Then looking online at all the rescues and still being unsure, we decided to foster some puppies. So we got 3 little puppies and they all found homes a few weeks later. Then we got two more puppies and ended up adopting Archie, a wolfhound cross.

Archie loves hugs, people, other dogs, water, digging, chewing, biting, eating anything and everything, he is a chatterbox and a clown, chases brooms and mowers, he is a shoe thief, a scaredy cat of anything new and has trained the neighbour to give him pats and treats. He is very different to Trixie in looks and personailty... oh and size! I can't trust him with my chickens, he caught one of my quails (I need to tell you about those) and he chases the cats and barks at them non stop.

Our house and backyard now have puppy gates and fences - luckily he doesn't realise he could easily climb over them. It is amazing that I forgot just how much work there is in raising a puppy, I can't wait for the day he calms down, unfortunately we're in for a long wait!
