Arlo is a pointer pup who will be travelling to his forever home in the UK shortly.
Is my burpday today, I is 2!!!
Full of attitude, enthusiasm, love and anxiety. Such a complicated little chap
I had to wear this silly hat before I was let loose on my birthday bone.
Hoping my 9 siblings are all having the best day too
Yippee! Loving my life
Me an my big sister Nova found my forever home has been on our holibobs in Zummerzet.
Stayed in an amazing cottage, totally designed for us woofers. Mum & Dad took our beds, blankets and toys so it would feel like home, but we loved it from the minute we arrived. So comfy and well thought out. The sun even decided to cone out!
Two secure fields for us dogs, a lovely safe garden just for us, walks on the hills straight from the garden and a good pub and beaches not far away.
Highly recommended, mine hosts were lovely and helpful too https://www.quantockcottages.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw0YGyBhByEiwAQmBEWsS7K-jjDjkhV57Oo0a1rPmyQf30Q2_No3yBr3Qoi3NQRIKuea02-xoCpRAQAvD_BwE
An afternoon with Arlo
Got absolutely soaked at gundog training. I does not like bring rained on, tried my best to dry myself by rubbing against Mum's legs. She didnt seem to understand my 'can we go home now' message so I upped my game by lying prostate on the ground with my head in the grass, snorting like a pig and refusing to be distracted from mousing.
Got home and had to have a shower which I tolerate but I do not like wearing my PJs and charge around the house until Mum gives me something from the carnage box. After that I snuggled down in a nice warm place, had a bit of a recharge and then Dad put Countryfile on so I could watch the sheeps.
With the injury to my paw behind me, I am pleased to say my life was not over after all as I first thought and I'm back to my bouncy mischievous self.
Crate training is coming along slowly, I sometimes take myself in there for a snooze if my sister Nova found my forever home will ever get out of it!
Just wish my Mum could finish work when I want to play
So... this big black metal thing appeared in my house. Apparently its called a crate and I have to learn how to chill out in it. Ive not been too keen but just as Mum & Dad thought they were getting somewhere I have upped my game.
Went out in the forest today and cut my paw. Bleeding like a stuck pig and not too happy to have a bandage on. Whisked off to the vet, bled all over their floor, very scared but the nice nurse gave me treats so was permitted to touch my person and bandage me properly. Never mind that No Chew rubbish that Mum used, I got rid of that in the car en route to the vet, muzzled and donutted. I am invincible!
Ive never had to wear a cone of shame before and I no likee very much but silver linings and all that...... I cant fit through the crate door anymore! Result!!
Happy Christmas Arlo fans!!
Me and my sister Nova went for a trial daycare last week. Not sure what I expected but it wasn't this!
Today is my Gotcha Day!! I've been causing chaos and mayhem in my forever home for a whole 12 months now.
Slightly miffed as my pawrents decided I should celebrate this momentous day by going to Stalag Woof for a few days whilst they go somewhere warm and sunny. I cried 😢
I have growed and growed, am now taller than my sister Nova found my forever home and weigh 20kg. I love food, chewing whatever I can get my knashers round, running and Tiggering through the woods and fields, chasing birds on the beach and playing with my dog friends. Oh and digging. With my mouth. Boundless energy and zest for life.
I am still anxious about certain things, like Dad's new walking stick and plastic bags being rustled. Crisp packets are a different thing altogether 😉
Mum says I am super intelligent and easy to train, though I do get bored easily. Dad says they broke the mould when they nade me 🤦🏻♀️ but they love me and my quirks all the same.
Exciting times in Arlo Land. I am completely bonkers and loving life.
Vet visit for my boosters and a leish test. Scared at first but got braver, started exploring the room and tried to hang myself by the collar on a cupboard door handle 🤦🏻♀️
Chased a cat out walking in the wooded fields behind our house. Great fun and I went into radio silence for 20 minutes. Mum doesn't agree about the fun part and says I'll have to go on the longline there now 😡
Back to the vet for another discussion about my cojones and whether I get to keep them a bit longer as I am an anxious little thug. My sister Nova found my forever home came along too as she's been a poorly girl from eating too much cat poo. She decided the man vet was ok and gave great belly rubs so that helped me be brave. I even let him examine me a bit, not past my shoulders but that is progress. Anyway, my cojones came home with me but I had to be stabbed again 🤦🏻♀️ with an implant that will render my swimmers useless. I'll be able to go to doggy day care once this takes effect and Mum & Dad can see if my anxiety is adversely affected.
I am such a wimp, I recently decided that the reclining sofa mechanism is scary. That'd be the sofa that's been here all the time, the one I like to snuggle up on 🤦🏻♀️
I am a good boy. I know this because Mum & Dad keep telling me, especially when I check in on walks and when I sit nicely for my loves instead of clambering all over them wagging my tail furiously, licking and being unable to keep my teeth from joining in.
Better than this I now have written proof!
Only got myself a UK Sniffer Dog Bronze award. Go me!! I'd quite like to eat my 🏵
Dr A Kyriacos is ready for consultations, form an orderly queue please 😂
Look at me in all my handsomeness, practicing the stop whistle.
My sister Nova found my forever home has been going to gundog games so I'm getting the training benefits (and I'm waaaayy much better at it than she is, dont tell her!)
I'm also nailing scentwork, go little ole me!
Am trying my hardest not to be so 'helpful' round the house and not to use my teeth on things that do not belong to me, eg Mum.
Living the dream!
I'm a little bit miffed.
Yesterday I learned that digging where there is a buzzing noise results in lots of yellow and black stripy things coming out and stinging me!! Youch!!! 🐝 🐝 My lovely dog walker helped me escape from them and brought my lumpy self straight home to Mum and Piriton.
All back to normal today, I was happily practising my new sunbathing skills with my big sister when we were rudely interrupted by a shopping delivery.
I've stolen Mum's space on the sofa in retaliation 🐾
Yesterday I went out wiv da boys and ran round like a loony.
Exchanged my tracker for a tick, so Dad deployed his medical skills and removed it. Mum says we have to go out and look for the tracker but I'm too comfy right now 🐾 😂 😴
Arlo Airways welcomes you on board! Make sure your seat belt is securely fastened...there are no emergency exits!
I am one year old today! Full of beans and mischief, having steak for dinner 🍖
Bit of a change from my beginnings, so grateful to everyone at Rehoming Cyprus Pointers who made this possible
Ive been learning to chill out in the garden. Its hard for my hypervigilant ears to switch off, but I have a fantastic role model in my sister Nova. Until a cat comes along 😂 🙀
Busy, busy, busy that's me!
Learning to chill out in the garden, apparently this is what's required when Mum & Dad sit down with a drink
Scrounging for pork scratchings in the pub, surely I am irresistible?
Out having fun
Posing in the bluebells
Got me a stick
Loving life!
I have been a very, very
brave soldier.
Went to see the nice vet lady last week, she stole some of my blood for a leashywotsit test, examined me all over and when she pressed my tummy I squealed. Mum had brought her a lovely gift of my 💩 which I thought was a bit odd to be honest but the vet lady cast some spells over it and came up with the magic word 'giardia' and a nice big bill.
So now I have speshul medicine to make me better. I am not like my sister who arrives at the sit if she hears a blister pack being popped and will take anything with a bit if cheese. Oh no! I require a custom made amuse bouche of liver sausage to help the medicine go down.
Today I met some big snorting things, black & white like me but lots bigger. Eventually my curiosity got the better of me and I had a close encounter. Mum says its good to be wary of unfamiliar beasts but no need to try and run away 🤦🏻♀️
We got home to find that Dad had bought a new walking stick. He was proudly showing it off to Mum when heard strange scuffling noises coming from under the table. They both suspected I was up to no good with something I shouldn't have. They have no faith!! I was pooping my pants in terror at the new stick! They were most bemused as I have no probs with the current stick, I do middles with it and everything. We had to spend some time with kibble on the stick, under the stick and beside the stick. My big sister just rolled her eyes at my shenanigans.
My adventures continue.
On Sunday Mum took me walking along the canal, I had my long line on just in case the ducks and moorhens got a bit too tempting. Happy to report that they did not.
Mum said at the start that if I went in the water that she would not be coming in to rescue me. I was a good boy, just sniffing along the banks when all of a sudden I couldn't resist it and launched myself right into the middle of the canal!
There I was completely submerged, looking up at Mum through the water. She meant what she said and just stood there, she may have called me a blidiot. Turns out I can swim!! I clung to the bank and Mum helped me out. Soggy, slimy green and stinking. I had to have a shower when we got home and wear my dreaded fleece. Dad gave me a chew and cuddles so all was well again.
Today we walked near the river, I was not tempted 😂
My sister Nova is 3 today but the big box that arrived was all for lil ole me!!
The good, the bad & the Arlo
I am 9 months old now, am taller than my older sister but lots of growing still to do.
My recall is brilliant, I check in often, dont go far and keep coming back to see my people.
I am very clever and love learning new things.
I am a bit too fond of using my teeth and voice to action prompt.
I am hypervigilant and sometimes find it hard to settle.
I can't resist acquiring contraband.
All of these things and more make me ARLO and this vid is of me and my ears at my happy best, waiting for my lovely dog walker
Just look at me and my big sis, we're all tired out after an impromptu visit to the dog field today.
The various sleeping positions of an Arlo 😴 🐾
Mum got me a new toy
I was very pleased and gave it my full attention.... lasted 10 minutes 😂 😂 😂
Mum didnt mind but prefers my Christmas duck which is still hanging on by a thread
Chewed myself to sleep this morning. Happily knackered after a great afternoon yesterday in the rain with my dog frenz
Been on some adventures lately. Mum & Dad took me an my big sister to something called kennels for a few days as they had to drive far away to do something very sad and they said we couldn't go too. I was SO pleased to see them when they came back again, I couldn't believe my eyes and did my bestest wiggly bum dance. They were very happy to hear we were perfect residents as we'll be going again later in the year.
I've also started going out a couple of times a week wiv da boys and da dog walker. I absolutely LUV her, we all have lots of fun and I come home happily knackered. Mum says this is better than her getting totally knackered trying to keep up with me. It also gives my sister a break from my antics and Dad a chance to get on with DIY without my 'help'
Mum is doing a Dog Walk for Dementia in March, we have to do 100k and we've done 30k already!
Oh yes, and the sap's definitely rising!! My fav thing to hump is my Dad, I am really really keen on him because he doesn't snarl at me like my sister does. Oddly enough he doesn't share my enthusiasm and keeps muttering about nuts off in May. Whatever that means 🤷🏻♀️
Explored somewhere new today with Mum. I did lots of galloping about and was very good until I met my first squirrel. Then I lost my mind! They go up trees! Who knew??
I was a good boy and found my way back to Mum after a cartoon like charge round in circles, am having a sleep now.
Freedom! Look at me off the lead!!
I may have some other challenging behaviours but recall comes easy to me.

Been having a good dig today. I dig with my teeth as well as my paws. Mum said I couldn't get back in the car without a wash down, cant think why
Lovely walk near where I'm staying as I wait for my forever home
And another video
Foster mum's been taking videos of me to show how lovely I am. I also give the softest kisses apparently
