Shouldn't be counting my chickens but .....

Well worth waiting for.

 

[Lisa]

Wonderful! She is gorgeous!

 

[Granca]

Excellent! She’s a lucky dog!

Lovely girl, I am so excited for you x

 

[Candy]

Brilliant news! I'm glad you found each other.

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

That's such wonderful news. I'm really looking forward to your stories about her and how her first career affects (if at all) her second. She's a lucky dog!

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

Huge congratulations!! She’s beautiful!

She's gorgeous David, it sounds great to have a dog past the puppy stage, well possibly but still has some "challenges" to work on

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.

Cassie was, for sure.

Erm, she’s a lab, isn’t she, so isn’t that being a touch optimistic?

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.

Sooooo.... Is she definitely coming to live with you David, is it all confirmed?

Cassie too ! But there are still glimpses of the puppy even at 5, which always pleases me

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.

Lovely news!

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 to heal. In fact it seems the opposite - she walks ahead and investigates everything. DOB 5/2/20. Here's a picture of what is about to become a work in progress!

This is so exciting, she looks lovely

I can't wait to hear how she settles in

Not that it's at all relevant, but Ella's mum is called Poppy

Congratulations, David, I’m so pleased for you all. It sounds like a great fit. How is OH taking it? I imagine better than the prospect of a brand new puppy?
