This wiggly little sprite is Alphe! Short for "Albino with spots!" We've only had Alphe for a few days, but already he's proved to be a delightful handful. He absolutely has to be where the people are, preferrably right in your lap getting his ears scratched or curled up into a ball against your tummy. The best way to describe Alphe is "go go go... stop!" Always snooping into everything, like every good puppy should, and playing with his toys or our other dogs (who are puppies at heart) like he's on energizer batteries until suddenly he calls time out for a puppy nap. Then before you count to ten he's a little ball of sleep. Alphe's definately going to grow up to be a lady's man, with his heart-stopping hazel eyes, so impossible to resist. Which is how he earned his "other" name... Rascal! Alphe definately like to be in the middle of things, and believes he can get away with murder with his oh-so-cute puppy stare. Which is pretty much true! Good thing he's also a well behaved little man, already learning to pee on the puppy pads, to sit for treats (although we're not sure what the point of putting your bum on the floor is exactly), and stay inside when mom is trying to leave (we did like to bolt out the door at first... we really don't like being left behind). Alltogether, Alphe is a smart, spunky little pup with loads of potential. He'll do well in agility, already scaling the bed and baby gate, and climbing on the rain barrel like a gymnist. Not a dull moment but we absolutely LOVE him!
