Meet Alpa the surfer, a Miniature American Shepherd!
Meet Alpa, a Miniature American Shepherd and one of our most loyal users! Her dog parents, Clementine and Pierre, kindly answered a few questions about their relationship with Alpa.
- How would you describe Alpa?
- How would you describe your bond with her?
- A memory recorded in the Mafy app that is memorable enough to share?
- Any advice for those going through the puppy stage?
We regularly give the floor to dog parents who use Mafy! It is always interesting to hear their feedback, the difficulties they faced, and the advice they can share with us.
1. How would you describe Alpa?
Clementine and Pierre: Alpa is smart and sociable, always looking for contact. But beware - enjoy it, her interest can be short-lived. A drama queen at heart, she knows how to loudly express her disagreement even when she perfectly understands what is asked... but she always ends up cooperating, with flair.
2. How would you describe your bond with her?
C & P: Alpa is literally part of our daily life - even when we go to the bathroom, she is there! This constant bond sometimes makes separations a bit tricky, but it also means that on walks, she follows us naturally without needing to call her back. Since there are two of us taking care of her, she creates a real attachment with each person: she tends to gravitate toward the one who took care of her the most that day.
3. A memory recorded in the Mafy app that is memorable enough to share?
C & P: During a walk in a park, Alpa wandered near an empty fountain. Very proud, she came out with a dead, soaked mouse stuck in her mouth. Total panic! We jumped on her to make her drop it. Pierre, in a fierce struggle, managed to get the mouse back... stuck between his fingers and Alpa's tiny baby teeth. Under the pressure, the insides burst out. Clementine, a helpless spectator, tried to keep her calm (and her stomach).
4. Any advice for those going through the puppy stage?
C & P: Enjoy every moment with your puppy. Let yourself be surprised by their discoveries, marvel at their progress, even the smallest ones. The bond does not form in a day, so be patient - it is a beautiful adventure that is absolutely worth it.
We hope this experience helps you! Feel free to write to us and share your puppy or dog adventure!
