@HAH, when I introduced Rourke to big Uncle Drift, he screamed (I did it in the garden) at seeing such a big dog and from then on they were fine. I didn't have to separated them. Did you have a problem with acceptance in the beginning, sorry I cannot remember

Ah, baby Rourke. For us, the issue is that Stilton was (understandably) very puppyish and from the beginning wanted to jump all over Kipper, chew him and play. Kipper found his speed and unpredictable bounciness very worrying, and tried to get away at every opportunity. Now Stilton has grown and learned some restraint, and Kipper is developing confidence and they’re both learning each other’s body language, this is improving substantially.

Oh I see. Fortunately Rourke was a quiet puppy with Drift, although energetic and hardly slept otherwise!

Stilton is 1 year old today! Time has flown, and he’s gone from a tiny little bundle to a brave, cautious, rambunctious, hilarious, and most of all sweet-natured young dog. We couldn’t be prouder of our boy.

This is his finished sweet potato cake with yoghurt and peanut butter icing and turmeric digestive stars - he’ll have some later, and some other friends will be getting a slice too! (Reckon I’ll probably try some

)
