Very sad but lots of good memories that will help. Good old Bobby.

Just taken out the BBM policy. It seems to be the best one around. Thanks everyone. Cover starts the day we pick Poppy up and has a 14 day cooling off period.

Good point👍

Thanks. I think I'll give BBM a call rather than on-line to see what they offer. I like the idea of Sophie's fixed for life cover but that doesn't seem available on-line. Lady was with Petplan and her final premiums were way up at £90 per month with no ED cover. I've got Poppy booked into...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with boughtbymany pet insurance? We were with Petplan for Lady but their prices seem to have gone up by quite a hike. They are some 40% more than boughtbymany for similar cover. It could be that boughtbymany start cheap but escalate more than say...

This is potentially not good news. :facepalm: It will take counter surfing to a new level. We thought we had success with Lady stopping her from running her nose along the kitchen tops but in reality all we did was teach her not to do it when we were in the room. :rofl: I'll look out for paw...

Drugs and explosives. It was a slight loss of concentration on the latter that failed her - for obvious reasons!

We have actually taken her on as a Golden Wedding gift to each other. Her colour gave us the idea. She is an absolute gift from heaven. The chances of finding a young adult like her must be almost nil. We both feel blessed.

Yes all confirmed. She's ours. We pick her up on 26th. Apparently we have her for a month on trial. Then providing all OK we pay the fee and that's that. Having survived Lady from 6 months old I can say with confidence that this will be a walk in the park by comparison. 🤣🤣

Indeed! Funnily enough Lady suddenly changed when she was a couple of months off her 3rd birthday. Over a very few weeks the puppy had gone. I really missed it.

She's fairly settled already but still very much a puppy. I think she'll be pretty much 3 years old before she's fully out of the puppy stage.

Her life, certainly in the immediate future, has all the potential of being both a nightmare (again re the SBD) and a hoot! :rofl:

Just got back. Poppy is lovely and that reddish shade of yellow. We met in a room and then took her for a short walk. Not pulling per my earlier post was a bit exaggerated because she pulled like a train at first but indeed, settled fairly soon to not pulling. She hasn't been trained to walk...

Will report back with hopefully some better photos. Training is going to be interesting. Apparently her recall is spot on. She will walk on a slack lead most of the time. However, she is trained to jump up and put her paws on people. :tmi: So number one priority will be to work on that. Or...

Got an appointment tomorrow to see Poppy and take her for a walk! I'm not going to sleep tonight. We are away for a week but the Police Dogs will keep her until we get back no problem and give us time to get the basics like the crate back from number one son and a new dog bed and food. They...

A friend happens to be a police dog trainer and he's been on the look out. She's a sniffer dog.

Just fixing up a visit to see this girl. She's called Poppy and is 17 months old. She's not quite met the required grade as a sniffer dog so is to be rehomed. Hoping to see her tomorrow. I was going to wait but I'm too excited! :pull:

Chin-up, lad you will soon be feeling better. Poor Reuben!

Rose "Sarah" And her dog "Lady"

Unexpected bonus! I took Nina out for a last loo at 10:00 last night. The light was just fading so no need for a torch or anything. There was a rattle on the back fence and within 6ft of me a young adult fox appeared perched on the top of the fence just like a cat. I was standing stock still...
