Hi all,
My partner and I recently adopted a rescue puppy from the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home shelter. His name is Archer and he is between 5 months old American Staffy cross Boxer.
I’ve always been very passionate about animals, loved dogs and have been around dogs my whole life, but never owned one. So, finally 2 weeks ago after months of talking about it, me and my partner Steve decided to rescue a dog from a shelter. We were not necessarily looking for a puppy, but when we saw Archer (formally Geoffrey) in his cage, he stole our hearts. Never in a million years I would think my first ever dog will be a boxer cross, but here we are and I love him.
The first week of bringing him home with us, I must say I was totally overwhelmed, but he is learning quickly and we are now putting some powerful rules in place as well. He is still very cheeky and he loves to get us out of the bed by stealing our socks and shoes to get attention ?
When he plays and runs he reminds me of Bambi (the young deer from the Disney movie) because of his clumsiness and curiosity, discovering new things to eat and play with every day. The funniest thing is when he gets a new toy he never seen before, he starts hoping on his front legs like Bambi and if me or Steve aren’t in the room he runs to one of us to show us what he just got!
Well today was his first day at the beach, which was absolutely hilarious to watch. I don’t think I got the funniest shots of him as I was too busy laughing at his first experience with sand, but here are few photos anyway…..introducing Archer the Bambi dog.
If you have any questions or want to leave me a comment, just scroll down to the bottom of the page.
Cheers, Sonia
