Seamus'mum

Awh, that face He would look cute laid near my Seamus like that. I just want to give him a cuddle, bless him.

That last photo is fantastic! Well done Sno What a good boy you are!

Happy Gotcha Day Duke!!! What a gorgeous boy you are, especially love the bath photos!

I'd certainly agree with Brendan's change of character, maybe his OH has managed to mellow him? Craig Kelly is a bit uncomfortable to watch...maybe if he didn't look like a cod fish with his mouth open? I think Zoe Lucker is the dark horse so far.

I'd agree with all those ones listed already, they are As well as: Oldies Club's: Roxy Pip Bella Boysie Home Counties Boxer Welfare's Bertie I only have one dog at the moment, and would love for him to have a friend...I just need to work on OH more

Oh my word, isn't she sweet Imposter or not, she is adorable.

Awh, that's so sad. Run free Titch, you're out of pain now to all at Oldies club and particularly to her foster family. Thinking of you all.

Run free sweet boy. You're not in pain any longer. My heart goes out to all at Oldies Club and particularly to his foster mum who was with him at the end. Lucky is probably looking down on you all now and thanking you for being there. My thoughts are with you all today. x

She is lovely Noticed she's not actually on the EGLR website though so maybe she's already found a home?

Hi James, Welcome. As Amy and Anne have said, I think the next step would be to look at what your routine would be to see if it is really feasible. We have Seamus who is a 10 year old lab/collie cross who has been with us for 2 months now. We got him from a private rehoming after a marriage breakup and he'd been left at home too much extra. In terms of settling in, there was no real problems there, I think he was just glad of some attention!. At first he was slightly sluggish/confused and appeared a lot older than he is. However, after a couple of weeks of regular routine and walking, he was raring to go and is chomping at the bit every time he sees his lead picked up. As Anne has said, being a lab/collie, he does like being into everything and, believe me, just because he's 10, doesn't mean he's read to slow down any time soon. I work full time (flexi time) usually 8am - 4pm and OH is self employed. We thought long and hard about getting a dog and knew we had to have a stable routine in place before bringing one home. It usually goes something like this: 6am - I get up and take Seamus out for about 45 mins. Get ready for work/Seamus lounges in garden Breakfast for both of us 7.30 - I go out to work (OH still in bed/just getting up) If OH has a meeting, S will just have a snooze indoors, if not, he'l be in the garden Lunchtime - either I come home and take S out or OH does if he's in (walk about 30/40 mins) 4.30pm - I get home and S is woowooing wagging his tail going potty wanting to be on his long walk Walkies for about 1hr or maybe more Tea S sits in garden then until he wants to come in as he likes it in the cool Walk round the block Bed Why am I going into such detail? Well, 2days this week, for instance, OH was working away, I couldn't get home at lunch for one reason or another, parents were in process of moving so couldn't pop round as they would usually do, so poor S for 2 days this week has been stuck in until I got home. No destruction, just a hyper dog wanting to be outside sniffing It's a big committment, and just because a dog is older doesn't mean it is any less so, but the rewards you will receive are second to none. Hope this helps and good luck with your search. Katie

WTG Laura!!! Tell us, what's your secret???!!!

Poor Tyler, hope you are on the road to recovery soon. Poor lad. to Lisa too. x

Wow Laura, that's a fantastic stash of prizes. WTG As for the cycle ride...makes me think I should dust of my mountain bike...it was an impulse buy last October and has only been ridden once

Thanks for all the lovely replies. You're all so kind. Ian, I used to live in Brandesburton but now live in Hessle. Good to hear there's someone on here not too far from me!

Hi Ange, As per the new thread I have just put on, I'd like to put myself forward for helping with events etc if you need me. According the the AA routeplanner, the Jerry Green show Notts branch is about 1.5hrs from me. However, if push came to shove and you couldn't get anyone else, I am available that day. I've noticed on there website that they have an open day at their Gilberdyke branch on Sunday 27th September which is about a 15 minute drive from me if you needed a stall at that one too? As I said, any time I can help. Best wishes Katie
