merledogs Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hope you are not too tired today We have to get out early this morning to collect a shed I bought on Ebay. have to dismantle it first, so I hope all goes well. I went back to sleep on the sofa for a couple of hours so not too bad. Good luck with the shed Wish us luck, it's an 8-hour round trip of a drive to see the lurcher girlie, I hope she likes us. Jake is taking his best squeaky duck to impress her Oh well she is bound to be impressed then Good luck and I hope all goes very well I sent off an application for a dog yesterday. Unfortunately to the same rescue who were terribly disorganised last year and lost our application for another dog. Fingers crossed this time. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed I got up about 9, did some pruning back in the garden, took the dogs out, then did some more gardening when I got back - and finally laid the new stepping stones I bought a year ago RMF : Because we weren't out at our usual time, and because the weather was sunny, we met about a dozen new dogs on our walk including an Am Bull type dog with a staffie, a Scottie dog, 4 Shi Tzus and the cutest ickle 14 week old puppies, one brown spaniel type and one brown and white border collie poopie with blue eyes and I had lots of poopie kisses and snuggles It ALMOST made me want a poopie again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trallwm farm Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ive been bullied into holding two smelly lurcher puppies until there is space for them and their mum at Fi's Mum is a wheaten terrier cross collie and dad is a Greyhound. The only saving grace of course is that they will be scruffy. I cannot imagine starting again with two 8 week old puppies. With Bojangles there was play school,Eton, etiquette lessons,possibly university. Luckily he never wanted piano lessons but hey I guess there may be someone out there who may want a smelly puppy. There are 4 to choose from plus their little mum who is only two years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 The Newbury events sound very odd indeed. How horrible for you. Can we have photos please?

gooster Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I agree we must have pictures of the nasty poopies!! The funniest thing happened at work today, this woman came in and sat in the waiting area whilst her friend had an eye test. Unknown to anyone instore, she had a bichon frise in her handbag (it was a big bag!), and when one of the girls walked past, the dog shot out of the bag and chased her down the shop barking at her!! Thankfully she saw the funny side, and there weren't any other patients there to see it. I mean who takes their dog with them in their handbag into a busy shopping centre??!!!

owl Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 How are you ribs today Owl Definitely better thank you, even though I have done rather more than I should have done today. I managed to exercise Wispa very well with minimum effort on my part. I drove her to the wood, let her offlead to gallop about for a while. As we were about to leave, another dog turned up, a soppy ridgeback called Scratch who is nearly the size of a Dane and has about 3 brain cells floating around in his enormous skull. Cue for another stroll round the wood for humans and a mad half hour for dogs. Wispa doesn't seem to realise Scratch is an adult, and treats him like a pup because that is his mental age. Scratch can't understand Wispa at all, but he is hardly alone in that. They still have a good time together anyway. A shared interest in mud-wrestling overcomes all differences in IQ. Then did 2 weeks shopping for mum and delivered it to her. She seems to have got back into the eyedrop routine thank goodness. I was going out this evening but decided against it as the ribs get worse if I sit about, better either doing something or resting in bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I am very taken with the idea of a wheaten terrier x collie. But we are up to limit for the moment, and if I ever have another dog it will have to be a male. Not coming down to Wales for another week as not yet up to the drive, but hope I meet the mum and pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
