Alcove has a new helper!

We've got a permanent little helper at Alcove this past week.  He wasn't planned but he is certainly very welcome and a fits in really well in our little shop.

His name is Bailey and he is a one year old Cavachon. 
He's come to live with us this week after his previous owner could no longer look after him due to ill health, and he seems to be settling in to our noisy family life really well.
Here he is at the front door after his walk sporting his new collar and lead from www.sweetpeaandboo.co.uk .  A gorgeous shop just a few streets away in Leek that makes  hand made doggie accessories from beautiful fabrics.

He loves coming to the shop with us each day and after a long morning walk he settles down happily for a nap on a crochet blanket under the shop desk, waking up only for a fuss from a customer or to say hello to another dog who has come in to the shop! 
So far he's showed himself to be the perfect shop dog and he's a much loved member of the family already!
