Hard to believe that our boy is eighteen months old today , bless him . What a roller coaster it has been , emotionally and practically too but the roller coaster is starting to slow down now .
He is very special to us , being a ( not too close ) relative of Sam , my last puppy too . I went through all the usual emotions , despair , that what have I done feeling , and to be honest , whilst I loved him it did take some time to bond with him . The bond has been slow , I did find myself becoming worried and low , wondering if I would ever feel that overwhelming love , the all encompassing joy of having him in my life and then he got lost . I remember that day so clearly , when he chased the deer and got himself lost and trapped behind the deer fence , I remember the howling and crying because he couldnt get to me and my feelings of absolute terror that I could hear him yet couldnt find him . Thankfully all ended well due to the aid of that wonderful couple who I am still in touch with but it was this very awful experience that finally bonded me to him and him to me .
I love him so much , he has helped to mend a broken heart , he adores Nelly and helps to herd her when she occasionally strays too far from me on walks , even though this is only a few yards, but its too far for his liking !
He still becomes wildly excited at visitors to the home , but so what , he is joyful and happy , it is who he is and I love him to the moon and back xxxx
