Amanda Jvv Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Meet Wesley, LRSE&C newest foster dog. 12 years old and no longer wanted. Well introductions went much smoother than we imagined. Few growls and barks from George but nothing major. He hasn't allowed Wes into some of 'his' rooms and has followed him around all afternoon to check he wasn't stealing anything important. On the whole better than I expected. Wesley is a very happy smiley boy! The worst breath I've ever smelt (teeth look ok closer expection - gums not too good). I've never seen a dog with a tongue so short though He is supposed to be very obedient - there is no proof of that yet Though tongue looks normal most times Very strong, very bouncy for his age. He is so excited to be here he hasn't sat down once and is constantly attention seeking! He has however claimed Revels bed as his own and I am sure Revel would be happy to let him have it. Having a new old boy here makes me remember how much I miss Revel but he would approve. Wes has taken a liking to my husband Tony and wont let him use the computer. He goes from each side of the computer desk to get attention. I think the feeling is mutual though and Tony already has a soft spot for him! Wesley has learnt that the small furry things are boss and 3 whacks on the nose was all he needed. These small furry things are not impressed at being outnumbered...until Friday night that is All smiley We do not think he looks like a Wesley and he needs a new name that sounds similar. After 12yrs it would be unfair to change it drastically. Ideas welcomed please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one.eyed.dog Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 He is lovely. I like Wesley for a name. The only thing that rhymes/is similar that I can think of is Presley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Jvv Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 He wasn't sure what to do with a chewy so he just paraded around with it for a bit... Then he got the hang of it. ps: I'm just his temporary home - so if anyone is looking for a lovely old boy you know where to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Jvv Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I think he really suits the name Wesley Now you are all making me feel bad! Neither hubby nor I like the name. I dont know why but its so odd calling him that. Hubby thinks he looks like a Winston. I am so anti Wesley that Wensley sounds better! I bet Wesley will stick and I'll just start calling him Wezzie!

Oh sorry Amanda - didn't mean to make you feel bad If his original name doesn't feel right to you then you should change it. Winston is nice, so is Wezzie and I like Wizzie (but it might sound a bit like going for a pee ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda Jvv Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Oh sorry Amanda - didn't mean to make you feel bad If his original name doesn't feel right to you then you should change it. Winston is nice, so is Wezzie and I like Wizzie (but it might sound a bit like going for a pee ) You didn't really - I just sound fussy He isn't supposed to be my dog forever so 'Wesley' might just have to stick for now. I don't know what it is I don't like about the name. Maybe I associate it with humans too much since I have a cousin called Wesley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruby1Nic Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Oh he's yummy - and not wanted at 12 ?! Sorry, but I'm another who likes Wesley....although I do like Bosley as well ? (Kind of similar?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyMalc Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Not wanted at 12???? That's just criminal!! I'm sure that one of the reasons that he is so happy to be with you is because he's so glad to be out of the hell hole he was in - imagine not feeling wanted anymore at 12 years old!!?? It must feel soooo good for him to feel wanted and loved again! You sure he's not a keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
