Cavachon Puppy Sable & White Boy | Oh Me Oh My! | 14 or so Pounds All Grown Up

Picture a slightly round little gentleman who has already reviewed the household rules and found several of them unacceptable. This little CHARACTER! I did get a bit over the top in his description below, yes, he’s not a fan of crate time but I promise, even the baddest babies can turn out to be simply amazing dogs. My Hastings, OH, SO BAD!!! Now, he’s 6 year old, a respectable gentleman about 90% of the time and more fun than the law allows the rest of the time. WE ADORE HIM!!! I added a selfie of myself and our boy in Alfie’s gallery,,, so you can see the all grown up good boy himself… Now, on to our current little gangster!

There are puppies who happily entertain themselves, puppies who appreciate a little personal space—and then there is Alfie Applebaum, who considers personal space a tragic misunderstanding.

This scrumptious sable & white Cavachon morsel has already decided that the very best place for a puppy is not in a crate, playpen, puppy bed, or any other contraption designed to suggest that he might occasionally occupy a space all by himself. Oh, heavens no. Alfie would MUCH prefer to be attached to a warm, cozy human, tucked into the crook of an arm or sprawled happily across a lap like a small sock monkey who has somehow come to life.

And really, who could blame him? Alfie is an exceptionally affectionate little fellow with sweetness tucked into every sable curl. He loves being talked to, cuddled, carried about, and generally included in whatever his people happen to be doing. If there is an available lap anywhere in the vicinity, Alfie considers it his personal responsibility to fill it. Hubby John was carting the little hoodlum around tonight and I promise you, Alfie looked at me out of the corner of his eye with this smug expression like “See, Mama Terry, a puppy’s place is in someone’s arms!!!”

He isn't only a professional snuggler, of course. There is plenty of happy puppy mischief tucked inside that cuddly little package. Alfie enjoys his toys, his siblings, and a good bout of puppy nonsense—but when the festivities wind down, don't be surprised if he comes toddling back in search of his favorite thing in all the world: you.

For the family dreaming of that wonderfully devoted little Cavachon who wants to be part of absolutely everything, Alfie Applebaum may be your boy. He'll bring the puppy kisses, the comic relief, and enough warm little snuggles to make an ordinary Tuesday feel considerably better. Plan on keeping him all tired out with lots of time in the backyard, excursions to Starbucks to meet his adoring public and so on to help him navigate through puppyhood in the quickest possible fashion lol.

As for that crate?

Alfie says he's willing to discuss it.

From your lap. 🛋️
