So two weeks on and Archie is beginning to get a routine. He now wakes earlier and enjoys an hour long walk. He has several routes he enjoys and we let him choose which. He tolerates dogs as long as they don’t come into his personal space. For the dogs he chooses to say hello to then he greats with sniffs and a wagging tail. He does not like cats. Ignores birds, horses and bikes. Any human that comes in his direction he wants to say hello to. A real people dog, children and adults. He refuses to use a dog bed and either rests on the floor, sofa or my bed. He is a very clean boy and washes himself morning and evening after his meals. He will not touch his food unless he is told. He has been taught all the basic commands and loves to show them off. A typical Staffie loves nothing better than to destroy any stuffed toy given to him

. He loves to play but if you are busy plays ball and chase my tail by himself. He does enjoy watching to to.
But by far his most favourite pastime is just to cuddle up with you on the sofa or bed. He is a very affectionate, cuddle monster who just makes you smile inside and out.
