Saintly Fish Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 @Odysseyyes dogs can be left for 8hrs or so. Our dog did it quite a lot. Rehoming centres just won't entertain it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And besides, are you not even a little bit on shaky ground with all the worms, crabs and squid you've directly or indirectly murdered in the name of sport?

I don't shoot them for fun. And any I don't use I put back. As I do with all the fish I catch. Take your murderous ways over to the other thread!!

And any pheasants that I miss flap off to live another day. You say you don't shoot them for fun.... but you catch fish for fun and you put them all back. How is that better than catching for the pot? Inflicting a horrible lip piercing on a poor defenceless fishy just for fun! 😱 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 I think a spaniel would do you good, great with kids loads of fun 🙂 A Jack Russel if you can get them as a pup is another or try a westie. They are pretty relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted May 9, 2022 Author Share Posted May 9, 2022 So after two delays because of the governments new rules on the importing of commercial dogs (yes rescue dogs come into that category), Friday we collect our new family member!! We are all very excited and nervous all in one. Leo is sitting his SAT's this week so Friday will be a great reward for all his hard work!!

Saintly Fish Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 Cooper arrived home yesterday. Skin and bones, also with a bit of kennel cough which needs sorting asap. But he seems very comfy already. Leo is over the moon with him, as we all are! suzook12, Geoff, Odyssey and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 It will be months before you see the real Cooper. Hope all goes well for you and him 👍 How long before you have him on the boat?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's not a bad thing, he really does need to laze around and put on weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we took Simba out for walks, but was a good 3 weeks before we let him off the lead at all Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are looking at young dogs preferably up to 6-8 months old. We are scanning all the usual dog homes, but if you know of a shelter local to you that has a web site please can you let me know what it is. We are prepared to travel to find the right dog. Thanks hi neil there is a few dog centres down here in newport type in llanwern dog centre and it will bring up a map all fairley close to each other best of luck mate Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintly Fish Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 So Coopers kennel cough seems to have disappeared. So I walked him to Leo's school this afternoon to surprise the boy. Cooper seems to never have been on a lead before, so the journey took a lot longer than normal. But that's ok, I'd anticipated this and left 30 mins earlier than I'd normally leave. He was brilliant, nervous but soon got used to the traffic going past. Leo was made up and walked him home! Best buddies they are.
