Archie came for a holiday at our house last week. He decided to take on the role of Devoted Dog to Roman, following him everywhere. Hoovering up his stray crumbs and retrieving fallen toys. Placing things gently in his hand (the rest of us are not deigned with this gesture!) and spending hours playing catch and fetch. Even trying to follow him up the slide at the playground.
This proved hard work for Archie! So a lot of time was also spent resting.
This is Archie when he first took on his job as Protector of The Boy. If anyone came remotely near Roman, then Archie was on red alert, barking loudly at intruders (Ash and I) to keep them at bay, resulting in Roman being woken frequently. He was not amused.
As a treat for all his hard work, he was rewarded with the largest ham bone in the Butchers, which would last at least 2 days we were told. They could not believe it when he devoured it in about 4 hours. What fun he had that week!! Roman is missing Archie terribly. No other dog will do as playmate. They are all boring apparently.
