Mon Petit Prince

In 2009 and I went off to South Africa for 3 weeks leaving my family behind with firm instructions....'Not to get a dog' I said I would kick it out if there was one at home when I got back. So off I went and 1 week into the holiday they got a little Maltese puppy. 

This is Alfie.... 

This coming from a girl who didn't like dogs 3 years ago. I am totally smitten by him. I got home for South Africa he had already met my whole family and been living in my house for 2 weeks so when I came home he was very interested in me. 

I fell in love the second I laid eyes on him. 

I mean who couldn't love this. This was taken just before I arrived back home. He is the main thing I miss from my parents house. Not having him wake me up. When I was at college he used to come in my room on a morning to make sure I was still there. My Mum says some mornings he still goes in my old room looking for me. 

When I am sad or poorly he some how knows and is always there to give me a cuddle. When I go on holiday I miss him so much. I never knew you could love an animal so much! 

If I am honest I think he is better than some humans I know. When I go to my Parents house he is always the happiest to see me. 

Sorry for the picture overload I understand if you're not a dog lover that you'll think I'm mad before Alfie I would of thought the same.
