Archie through the ages: 2009

We got Archie on the 21st of January, 2009, when he was roughly two months old. Back then he was just an adorable ball of apricot fluff, little did we know on that first day how much we would come to love him over the following years.
There are many many pictures from his first year, but here are a few;

Posted in loving memory of Archie (10th November, 2008 – 26th January, 2012)

On the 10th of November, 2008, the world was changed forever...

That's right, people, it's the poochie-boo's birthday today.
He's 3 years old now (that's 21 in dog years) but still clinging to the last strands of puppy rottenness and misbehavior. He may grow out (or be trained out) of that, but somehow I don't think his goofy doofus-ness will ever fade, nor would we ever want it to.

Happy birthday to the pooch
Happy birthday to the pooch
Happy birthday dear poochie-bum
Happy birthday to the pooch!

Well, not really; just a few super cute photos of him.

Adventures

Dear people,

I was left alone for the longest time!
All my people went away for five days and a nice lady looked after me.
I did normal stuff; chased lizards, ate, slept and had fun.
When my people came back I was so excited! I got lots of cuddles then run away a whole bunch!

I had a bath yesterday and today I went down to the oval with all my people who are training for the city-to-bay fun run. When we got back they played with me and in the afternoon I slept.

lots of licks, belly scratches and love,
Archie

Archie is 1 today!

It's Archie's birthday today!
Well, this is the day we have decided to celebrate it. It's around the time he was born but we don't know the exact date.
So, he's not a puppy anymore but is still so cute.
Pity it didn't cool down for Archie, been so hot here today and Archie prefers cool and sunny days.

When we got him;

Today;

Wirabarra Forest

We took Archie for his first trip to the Wirabarra Forest on Wednesday and even though it was hotter then we wanted, we all had a good time and Archie tired himself out.
When we got back to town, we picked up our lunch but Archie didn't would to wait so Vickie walked him most of the way. Less then a block before the house he just stopped and looked at her, so he was carried the rest of the way then got a meaty snack.

Now, time for photos! (I love the third photo, he looks like a puppy)

Half of what he was before...

Archie got a much needed haircut last week and he came back half the size! (well, not really half)
He's ears are so small now and he gets slightly less seeds stuck in his fur.

Archie loves to play!

This afternoon Amy played tug-a-war with Archie and I happily snapped away.
Here are a few of our favourites;

Archie has been many things, a gentleman, a bud, a spy, and this week he's a sheep...

Kathryn: So Archie What have you been up to in your 52 weeks project lately?
Archie: I was a bud and met a very nice Gardner

Then I pretended to be human


To see more of Amy's 52weeks project, go here.

Anyway, this week Pretty Pink Themed Weekend's theme was Nursery Rhyme and Amy did little bo peep with Archie as her sheep.


Here are the outtakes





Archie was very cuddly after photo taking.
