Hi everyone. This is just a short update on when I’ll be back with Alfie’s ashes. These past few weeks have been so painful and I really don’t think I’ll ever get over the loss of Alfie.
Due to circumstances out with my control here in Tenerife I have been unable to get back. This is a temporary issue and I hope to have it resolved soon. I will keep everyone updated and I apologise for the lack of communication.
I still cry every day, and as I’ve said the pain is unbearable, but I’ve been building a relationship with Xela my Czech Wolf Dog and I’m only just beginning to understand how much she’s learned from Alfie.

Thank you to everyone for your support and kindness and I’m sure you’ll get to meet Xela back in Cowan Park at some point in the future.

I just want to say thank you for all the very kind messages from everyone this week. It’s still unbelievably painful how...

I just want to say thank you for all the very kind messages from everyone this week.
It’s still unbelievably painful however I appreciate the sharing of the sadness and grief, as it has made things a bit easier for me.

Alfie was one of a kind and touched so many people and dogs with his unique way of dealing with things.
I will be collecting his ashes early next week and I’m looking at Sunday 12th October for the scattering of his ashes in Cowan Park. I will confirm this in a week or so.
This is the last picture of him taken on 14th August just before he got really sick.

I’m in tears writing this and I have shed so many tears over the last few weeks.

Thank you all. James.

Hi everyone. Just to let everyone know that Alfie passed away earlier today at 2pm.
He passed away in my arms in the way to the vet and I cannot begin to describe the pain I’m feeling. This is almost impossible to deal with.
Last night he slept under my bed where my wolf Xela sleeps and this morning I woke up and the wolf was wrapped around him as if she was trying to comfort him. When I got back from the vet she was crying and looking everywhere for Alfie.
I’m having him cremated and I will be bringing his ashes back to spread in Cowan Park.
I’ll let everyone know when that will be but it will be a Sunday in October.
Sleep tight my friend until we meet again.

James.

I hope everyone is safe and well.

I thought I’d share the latest video of Xela now that she is 6 months old. She has settled in very well and this is a normal day with Alfie in Tenerife. This looks like play, and it is, although there is a serious side to it in terms of discipline.

Good afternoon everyone. I thought I’d give everyone a wee update on Xela.

We will be supplementing her diet with raw food as it’s very important for her to have as varied and balanced diet as possible. This video is her first taste of turkey breast and it difficult to tell if she even tasted it.

The training here is keeping the pup as calm as possible before she gets her food.

Good afternoon everyone.

I thought I’d post another short video of Xela with Charlie the cat who is only 5 months himself. As you can see they’re firm friends and this is demonstrated by their play fighting.
This is an important part in the development of both the puppy and the kitten as Xela has a very high prey drive already.
It’s crucial that she learns that Charlie is very much part of the pack although as you can see Alfie is always on hand to oversee pack behaviour.

Good evening everyone.

We have had Xela for a week now and it has been a very interesting week. Charlie the kitten has now become firm friends with Xela, and today, we turned a corner in terms of the pup’s acceptance into the pack.
As you will see from the video, Alfie has begun playing with Xela. Please never underestimate the learning opportunity this is for any puppy.
Alfie is very gentle as always, and although this is play, it has very serious implications for the development of the puppy with regard to pack acceptance.
It’s important to note that Xela is quiet throughout this encounter which is unusual for a puppy in my experience, especially as young as Xela is.

James and Alfie.

Good afternoon everyone.

Just to say that Xela is settling in very well, and is behaving like any puppy would, however I have noticed differences in how she perceives the world around her.

Her need for pack acceptance is very clear although as you can see her manners need a little work. Alfie, as always, is on hand to oversee pack behaviour.

James and Alfie.

I hope everyone is staying safe back home.
We have a new addition to our pack here in Tenerife.
This is Xela and she’s a Czechoslovakian Wolf Dog.
As Alfie will be 7 in October, we need another dog for the Finca, as we have a lot of space here.
I will keep everyone updated on her journey and training with Alfie and I.

Good afternoon everyone. I hope all is well and that now restrictions back home have been relaxed a bit, you can get to meet more people and dogs to keep the socialisation going.

I have been asked by a few people for some advice and guidance from here in Tenerife.
I have carried out a few Zoom/FaceTime consultations and these have worked well.

I have been working with a few dogs here in Tenerife however Alfie hasn’t been involved yet but this will change soon as he’s not enjoying his “retirement”.

We have added to our family with Charlie the kitten and I’m pleased to say that Alfie is taking to him in his own unique way.

If anyone would like any advice or guidance then please contact me. If it’s the UK then I can do it virtually however here in Tenerife can be face to face.

Good Afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all staying safe and getting regular exercise (humans too).

Apologies for not posting for a while as we have been up and down with tier lockdowns here in Tenerife.

This is Alfie’s idea of helping with watering the garden this morning. I have to say it does keep him cool as it was 22 degrees at 10 o’clock this morning.

James and Alfie.
