elainew Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi, I'm Arthur, a rather gorgeous Weimaraner! Today I set out on a long journey to my foster home. The first part was uneventful, I snoozed away on my duvet in a couple of comfortable vehicles. I then got transferred into this rather high vehicle with bars all around me. I snoozed away again. Then we stopped in a car park and my next transporter came over straight away. My chaffeur then went to open the back door - and it would not open!! There was a lot of faffing around and moving of seats and the chauffeur was muttering rude words under her breath - only I with my super duper doggie hearing could pick these up... and my crate was rolled, yes rolled, gently right over - I did manage to keep my feet all the time - and my new transporter was able to open the door and I managed to climb out cos I'm fit despite my age! I went off for a wee and a drink and watched my previous chaffeur attempting to get out of the vehicle with the crate now firmly wedged between her and the door. It was hilarious! Mouthing some more expletives she finally managed to wriggle through a gap between the crate and roof and landed on the floor outside the vehicle. I had a big cuddle for remaining so calm before setting off again. I am so hoping the rest of my journey is uneventful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddyboy Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Oh Arthur... I think your transporter's car must be related to mine, cos my back door refused to open today as well, and I ended up upside down in the boot surrounded by big bags of bark chippings trying to open it. Where are your piccies??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elainew Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Chauffeur had other things on her mind! He really is scrummy and does not look his age, sure someone will be along with photos soon! Damn door opened as soon as I got home. I now have a screwdriver in the car in case of a future malfunction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fee Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Oh no - you were having problems closing the door when we handed Arthur over I'm sure he took it all in his stride, though, he was such a lovely gentle placid boy - a real gentleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Hi Elaine, I met him at his next stage after you handed him over, he was a real sweetheart hardly knew he was there. i did try and take a photo of him but david bailey i am not nothing came out. must try harder next time, and i thought digi cameras were idiot proof, obviously not this idiot! he was so scrummy i dont think he will be waiting for long at all,such a happy lad, I could have taken him home myself quite happily but i thought the next leg of his journey might have noticed! mel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fee Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 We could very easily have taken him home, too, he was such a lovely placid boy His foster mum tells me he has a lovely nature and has been so gentle with her children. He's going to make someone a lovely companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hello! Arthurs foster mum here. I am new to posting so bear with me if I crash the site! Arthur is so lovely. He is having a bit of a struggle with his back legs, but the vet should hopefully have him sorted soon, and he has a magnetic collar on the way. I will try and post some pictures but will need a drink before I attempt that one! He is the most well-mannered dog, and I don't doubt he will be snappped up quickly Will post again soon if this works with no disastrous consequences to the website!
