Jazz Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 ooo love it? what do you know about him? ive been put in touch with a rescue that might have a foster for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 All we know is that he is not chipped, seems about 9 years old, his crappy specimen of an owner put him on Instagram saying he could not be bothered with him and unless anyone wanted him he was going to kill him! A good woman rushed straight there and collected him, and took him to breed rescue. He seems very friendly and sociable with dogs and humans of all ages. How long that guy had him we do not know.

Jazz Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 what breed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 Border terrier! My lovely friend, who was with me and Wispa when the vet came, runs a breed rescue for them not far away. I told her I could help with emergency foster, and then this chap arrived who is unusually sociable with other dogs of both sexes as well as being good with people. She thinks he would get on with me, she knows I need a more placid dog for a change. I would not normally think of a BT as a permanent companion as some of them can be right little scrappers. But this one seems to be easy going. We will see what happens on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I have known two people who had border terriers and both were super little dogs. One was unreliable other dogs but it was because he approached then didn't know how to get out of the situation. Once he was taught that he could walk away he was fine. It is surprising but some dogs do not know how to walk away from another dog., so panic and attack. Murphy, my retriever/collie was like that but once taught he was fine. Borders are one of the few small dogs i would consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I havent had a border. might foster for someone else but as long as they have the right dog I dont mind who Yesterday, scan of my eyes showed holes in the macula which might not be able to fix, but going to laser the cataracts which might help. could end up with bad vision but just hope she can stop it getting worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Sunny today but colder. Have hung washing out and my fingers are frozen. Have you tried the oldies club, jazz? I hope they can help your eyes. W e rely on sight so much. I admire those who can put their faith in a guide dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
