LisaLQ Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hi guys. LTNS. Thought I'd pop back over and say hello. Been a bit hectic here over the last year or so, especially the last 6 months. As some of you know, Mick was really ill last year, sadly we split in the New Year and I'm now living back up north with the kids. Blu and Sky have long since passed away, we've been dogless for a couple of years now, but nearly 2 weeks ago a little lady came into our lives (in a bit of a rush), Winnie the rottie pup. We're her second home already, and she joined us at 8 weeks, so god knows when she left her "breeder". She's a doll, hard work but worth every second. Anyhoo. Waves. Hope I'm welcome to come and bore you stupid with lots of pics and puppy raising questions?! Hope you're all well xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobean Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hiya. Sorry to hear all your sad news. Hope life is feeling brighter now. Congratulations on adopting pup and looking forward to hearing more from you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaLQ Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 Thank you, it has been tough but we're getting there. Mick is an alcoholic, so it wasn't fair on the kids to be around that any more. It's been a long time coming, been trying to live with it for years, making excuses for his behaviour. So yeah, while it's been really hard, the kids are now thriving and are not scared any more, so it's onwards and upwards. Winnie has her second vaccs on Friday, and is being chipped, then it's puppy classes starting next Tues, third vacc at 14 or 16 weeks (can't remember, will ask Friday). Can't wait to be able to take her for walks, all this carrying her about to meet people and socialise her is heavy work! Any recommendations for collar and lead suppliers? I heard TRPD had closed down now (so sorry to hear the sad news). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Hi Lisa, welcome back. I love your pup! I'm pleased you have all found yourself in a better way of life than previously. Onwards and upwards from now on Sorry can't help with a collar and lead supplier as I am still using TRPD products. Archie's harness is getting very worn though and I am on the look-out for something similar but haven't found anything yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaLQ Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thanks for the welcome xx I've found her a collar and lead now, got the collar from Monkey Dog Wear, and the lead (purple training lead, like the TRPD euro ones) on eBay. Just in the process of spending far too much money on treats and training accessories for class next week....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Lisa, you remember Kurgan? Well, one could hardly forget him! I exchanged PMs with Rachel a few months ago and he was still going strong though a bit more slowly. these days. I don't know if you heard but I moved to Dronfield 18 months ago. My last puli went over the Bridge at 16 1/2 in December and I have a mad pointery beast who does tracking. Sorry to hear of your past difficulties and hope things will continue to improve.

LisaLQ Posted June 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Who could forget him? He was so gorgeous, I was wondering how he was doing! Sky, my old cowbag of a lurcher and total soul mate, passed away a couple of years ago (she had pancreatitis). Blu the rescuedane died suddenly from a heart attack in 2010, he was only 7 and a half. I've been dog free since then, so it's lovely to have a canine pal again. I'm dying to take her for long walks in the countryside but, with her being a large breed, I've been told she can't yet. Sorry to hear of your loss, your mad pointery beast sounds gorgeous, I love dogs with jobs too! There was a beautiful pointer at the cat and dog shelter earlier in the week (my oldest sister is looking for an old plodder so she wasn't suitable for them), she was a stunner. I wanted to bring her back, but one dog is enough for me now! I'm back in Newcastle, and while my house is an ugly pebble dashed council job, the garden is mostly paved (and we have a shed!), and there's a Jollye's two minutes up the road one way, and a shopping centre and Morrisons (and pool, and doctors) two minutes the other way. And we're registered at our old vets again, so that's nice :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
