selina Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Is there any? Jaine, my apologies for being a blubbering wreck on the transport run, I've loved that boy to bits since the first day I set eyes on him and was just so sad that he had to move on again but mainly that I couldn't keep him myself now I've got Ollie here, out of all the foster's I've had that boy really stole my heart. I thought after not seeing him for 9 months I'd be over it but nope it all came flooding back, I guess it's true, some fosters just steal your heart completely Although I'm sure Tracy will be giving him huge cuddles and lots of love already, could he have another squidge from me please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly1712 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Oh Selina I'm sorry, I feel guilty now for not posting earlier Yes he's here and he's gorgeous! He's had a little walk with our two oldies and had a nosey around the house. He was very interested in what food and treats had come with him and watched me empty all the bags, hoping I'd drop a few bits on the floor. He's now lying down and has been doing a bit of snoring I'm going to get some pics taken and will post them in a mo. Thankyou so much to all the transporters, I'm surprised he made it here and wasn't smuggled away en-route Just given him a cuddle from you Selina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selina Posted February 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) Thanks Tracey. You've just made me laugh out loud, oh how that dog used to snore If you have any queries about anything with him please feel free to ask, i remember all his little quirks from his time with me and had a really good chat with cath this morning, but I'm sure she passed on all the info in that write up she did for you. It's good to hear he's settling already, I think that dog could settle anywhere, he's so laid back it's unreal and please don't feel guilty for not posting earlier, I'm sure he's been demanding enough of your attention today. Oh and he really does like his food Thankyou so much to all the transporters, I'm surprised he made it here and wasn't smuggled away en-route If it wasn't for grumpy ollie he wouldn't have made it anywhere I can assure you Edited February 2, 2008 by selina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmb3971 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Hi Selina Jack was an absolute angel to transport. In fact I had to keep checking that he was still there.........unlike a certain 2 cheeky but gorgeous poodles. I'm sure he's lapping up all the fuss and cuddles he can. He's definitely a fusspot. I can see how he stole your heart. It was a pleasure to have given him a lift (but I can always bring him back in your direction if you find you can squeeze him into a small corner ) Roz x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loobie Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 (edited) This is Jack when he was still in Irland, this is exactly where he was living Yes this was Jacks home when he was living in Ireland - his owner had him since a year old and used him for shooting, he also had two younger dogs so Jack was tied up most of the time as he couldnt keep up with the younger dogs. His kennel was the small plastic kennel you can see behind the big gas cannister it has a bit if old carpet for him to lie on but due to all the rain the entrance was very muddy and the carpet was wet from him going in and out. He had never been in the house. So basically Jack lived his life chained where the photo was taken once he was too old to be of use Thank you so much for helping Jack and for fostering him Edited February 3, 2008 by loobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
