Chekov is very sad to have lost his brother and sisters. He says it’s hard having no one to play with that is his size. He cried quite a lot yesterday. We took it in turns to spend time with him and comfort him but unless he was being cuddled he felt miserable. He watched some of the rugby with my Master and sat on the settee for a while with Andy. He even had a run round in the kitchen while everyone had lunch. My Mistress said there were ways it reminded her of when I was small, as he curled up on her knee while she tried to do some work. Ari tried pulling faces at him to cheer him up, but he was still sad. He made no progress on the toilet training front. Each time he went outside he had a run around but waited to go until he was back in the comfort and safety of his pen. It’s much harder to toilet train us if we stay in the same environment. You can’t tell us one minute this is where we must pee and expect us to understand that the rules have changed and now it has to be somewhere else.
Cosette got home safely and was settling in to her new environment and we heard from Cracker about her progress and how she is trying to train her humans.
It was a long night with Chekov, just the same as having a new puppy in your home. He was awake crying at just after 1am and again at 3.30am. Hard as it was my Mistress didn’t go to him but let me settle himself again and then went to him when he was awake and very upset at 6.20 this morning. She gave him a cuddle and his breakfast and put him back to bed. She then went back to bed until 7.30. When she got up again she gave him a big cuddle and he was the happiest little puppy. She says the way he wants nothing more than to be cuddled and simply relaxes into it he is more like I was as a puppy than any other puppy we’ve raised. He’s going to grow into a very special little dog.
I think we need to find some ways to tire him out today so we can all have some more sleep tonight. My Mistress is not looking her best! I think there may be quite a bit of fresh air for the little chap today, but that might send my Mistress to sleep afterwards too.

Poor Chekov! Andy’s hair looks great! 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed reading about life in the little puppy house-thank you. Is the Alfie’s diary available in print or is it just available on kindle ?
As yet it is only an ebook – it will be made into a paperback at some point when my Mistress is ready to help me with it. You know what humans are like, they always have their own stuff to do before they get on to yours!
My other book – Alfie’s Woods is in paperback too.
