People are rubbish - so I've bought a dog :)

[Still winning]

Really excited, my puppy arrives tomorrow and he already has his own toy box, full and a cupboard of food and treats. He's a 6 month old collie cross that we have been part of rescuing from Bosnia where he was unwanted. 

 

I wanted to call him Thor but the kids have decided on Batman Dog, (the dog bit via Bella, so he doesn't confuse himself with the real Batman?!).  I know the board already has a batman in the form of a horse, and a bat in the form of a train driver so I hope there's still room for another :)

 

 

 

Roll on tomorra!!  Been ages since I chased a toddler round :)

Beautiful doggy!   Nothing like a dogs love.  :)

[Doreensfree]

I really like Border Collies.... He is bloody lovely.... Batman Dog - possibly the greatest name ever given to a dog? Please do tell us what the insurance people or the vets say when you tell them the name when you register him :d

 

Very nice that he came all the way from Bosnia too... So kind of you!

[beacon]

How is Batman Dog settling into his new home?

[Still winning]

We do have the same sort of look don't we lol, they say owners get dogs who are like them hee hee.

 

So anyway. Batman arrived Tuesday. Poor little dude was poorly as ya like, kennel cough and so thin with a terrible upset stomach. He was a Bosnian street dog, rescued at 3 months and thrown in a halfway house for two months and then shipped to Romania where they issue dog passports to travel here and go to a foster carer. Who I'm being nice to but good grief (that's abridged) who gives a puppy such rubbish food and keeps him poorly sick! Grrrr.

 

Anyway, it's Sunday night now. Puppy's stomach is all fixed and kennel cough is well on the way, although it takes as long as it takes. He's getting regular reiki healing sessions, he's so cute he falls asleep. he follows me around and his energy levels are building really well. he was tired and lethargic upon arrival, now he's a happy tearaway and training has commenced :)  He is utterly awesome.

 

 

 

Love me, love my dog  :wub: . He's super cute!!

[Nancy]

So happy for both of you!!

[Ramona]

He IS super cute.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(and lucky)

[Doreensfree]

Aww marti....

That poor little guy has been through so much in his short life...how brilliant you and him have found each other....

He is going to show his appreciation.....he's gorgeous.....xx

[Sunnyside]

lovely dog, it is awful how some animals are treated but a happy ending for this little man is here.

 

Totally agreed that dog and in fact any animal has unconditional love, people on the other hand are complicated.

[Runfree]

Dang it!  Those ears!  So cute.  He'll be acclimated to his new home (and diet) soon and then you'll see his true self emerge.  This is such a fun time in our lives.  I'll bet the girls are squealing with joy.
