Heart melted by a lovely pair of eyes today. Little 'sort of ' rescue dog arrived today. We said we wouldn't have another but this little lady won us over. 11 months old, she was owned by a bloke who had form for buying puppies and then growing tired of them and giving them away. Christmas dog syndrome, really. He needs a ban...or a smack. Anyway, a neighbour of his, a pal of my daughter, took her in and would have kept her but the two cats and her ageing Lab objected.
Daughter cajoled us and we fell for it. She's a bit of a mixture ( the dog ). Certainly Border Terrier but shorter legs....possibly a Cairn in there. Our last two were Borders, lost them about 10 years ago but we know the breed well. She's feisty, well behaved and house trained. She's chipped and came with all her possessions, bed, bowls, toys, collar and food. She likes to be with humans all the time and comes on command. Just the right size for us and won't fill the garden with monster poos. SWM will be off to the Pet Shop tomoz to get her a harness and a tag, then to the Vets to book her in for a checkup, spaying and chip update.
Anyone on here recommend an Insurer although she seems very healthy atm ?
So, Dog, Zero, Pug and all....better keep your lesser dogs in while we're out and about ! Feels quite nice to have dog in front of the hearth hogging the fire again !
