Ongoing Adventures of Alfie the Dog

A word about our dog: CURIOUS. I suspect he's like a child in that he has a keen sense of what he is not supposed to touch...and promptly snatches it as soon as he's able. But he's having fun. I suppose, in spite of all his shenanigans, I am having fun, too.

Here's a picture of Alfie playing with a proper dog toy, courtesy of my friend Katharine:

And here's a picture of Alfie with his preferred type of toy: something forbidden. (Note the puppy chew toy in the foreground)

Meet Alfred!

As some of you may know, Mihir and I decided to add to our little family--by getting a Lhasa Apso puppy, Alfred. Little Alfie, as we call him, is 3 months old and weighs in at 6.6 pounds. He'll grow to approxmiately 15 pounds, but right now he's a bundle of furry joy. In the week that we've had him, we've already witnessed some milestones, such as climbing the stairs all by himself and taking his first "big boy" walk on the leash. A lazy boy, Alfie prefers to be carried. Here are some pictures from a recent trip to Cimarron Park here in Irving:
