This little man needs a lift from Finglas area to Clondalkin tomorrow afternoon or early evening. If you can help please contact Kathy on 086 3696413
This is sorted thanks to June and Jane for doing transport and thanks to Alan for taking him into foster
This beauty will be wormed, microchipped, neutered and have at least his 1st vaccination before being rehomed.Ralph (Toby) is a very handsome chap, Thanks to Kathy and Jane for their hard work in getting this boy,and let me say he was a very well looked after. He is a little over weight, we only picked him up last night and we are only getting to know him, we can say he is a big fluffy teddy bear his coat is as soft as his personality. Niamh brought him to collect Jess from school with a buggy, and had no probs walking there. When getting there all the young school kids wanted to pet him this was no problem as he lay down and loved the attention. He has been great at home with our kids and has let Rosie our staffie bully him all day ( she was on the bold step several times), one Bad thing about him is God bless he doesn’t know how to pee, no cocking of leg and this can result in him widdling on his front legs
All he wants at the mo is company and would sit onyou all day..jpg)

P1010009.JPGWell poor Ralph got the jobby done
yesterday I can still feel the pain never mind him 
He has been very good about it, he is feeling a little sorry for himself and he will have the cone on for ten days, but all in all he is in good form. He is going stir crazy in the crate and doesn’t seem to like being locked up, I don’t know how he lived on a balcony for so long?What a fantastic looking Teddy Bear.
He really seems to love the children which is great.
The peeing problem is most probably caused by the confinment on the balcony and no choice when he needed to go as he was in this situation from a puppy.
I love the naughty step idea for dogs except here with all my lot I would need the whole stairs
Its fantastic that your wife could walk him with a buggy that just shows how good and happy he is.
I know he was well looked after but I find it so hard to imagine a boy of his size living in such a confined space. I would be so terrified a dog would try to jump out of a balcony.
Well done with the Bear.This guy really is GORGEOUS! He is stunning; I’d say you get stopped by a lot of admirers. Such a beautiful smile on him, he looks so happy with you.
Alan I have one of those blow up collars and they are really soft and much easier. I bought it for Bethanie the collie I had in foster and I gave Kim a loan of it for Hailey and she found it fantastic.
It is like a swim ring but tightened with velcro.
If you are up in Dublin I will give you a loan of it, it makes a hugh difference to the dog.When you are there I would take the collar off ,after the first day they are usually very good about going near the stitches.
I don’t use the usual collars much as I have seen the bruising that they can cause,I would always be more worried about the females rather than the males as it would be a much bigger surgery and a lot of internal work.
Whereas the boys it is a lot easier.
Also if you feel he is a bit uncomfortable at night I give them 5ml of Calpol and it helps. A vet in Newbridge told me that years ago.
Let me know if you need the collar and I can meet you.
Anything to make a handsome guy comfortableHi sorry for the lack of posts, Fishing season is here so its home from work dinner, walkies and then fishing.
I Have Great news for Ralph (Toby ) he will meet his new forever family on Friday. So no fishing for Al on Thursday, nope its Bath time in the Lawless house. Ralph is flying you could not ask for a better dog, we are working on sitting for dinner at the mo, as he likes to jump up and see what’s in the bowl
so now he sits and waits until he is told ok to eat ( sometimes ) 
.He and Rosie are great pals and he can now fit her whole head in his mouth when the game of dog is on. Jack our son is his new best pal though, as everyhing Jack eats Ralph has a share of it. It has being a pleasure to foster Ralph, and this fella even more than Sharkey has pulled at our heart strings and I reckon it will be a comfort food night on Friday when he is gone.
Thanks to Kathy And the Admin Team for letting us Foster Ralph and for All the hard work they do to make sure every dog through D.I.D gets a good home.
I will post Bath pics tomorrow .
