Well the Vid did not work but it is up on the Dog in Distress face book page!!!
Albert is flying and is ready for his forever home. He had a stay of two sleeps with my Mum the weekend and done great! Mam had him down the park, and he was in all new surroundings and got on great. He seemed to show his playfull side with Nephew quicker at Mams than what he does for him here, this might be because he had no Rosie to play with ??? His Condition has come on great and he is very good on the lead, the Puppy is starting to come out in him , and he is loving life and has managed to get 3 colars off and chew them as he runs around the garden looking for a game of tug-o-war with them:-)

Albert had agreat day today. He played with Rosie all day, and at meal times we kept them at diffeent parts of the garden and he done great.Jess brought him out with her and her friends a couple of times they meet new people and dogs and he done well!!!! . Also we saw his tail today as nearly all the time up to now he kept it tucked in between his legs.The other night I removed his stitches and he did not flinch, when I ‘d finished he just gave me a lick and back to sleep.He is a lovley Puppy and is starting to behave like one too, playing and having fun.

This guy is getting better by the day, and the Way he is going I think he will soon find his new forever home

Hello,
Well Albert is with us 10 days now. When he arrived he was very timid and very skinny.Rosie seemed to know he was nervous and gave him a wide berth , but Jack and Jess dived on him and gave him loads of cuddles which he loved.
This little dog is still only young at 8 mths old, but it seems he has been through a lot. He is starting to gain confidence but still cowers away from you as you approach him. He has some issues around feeding with other dogs, he will leave his own food and try push the other dog from theirs, we are working on this daily and he is improving.He has no issues with people taking or touching himor his food while eating, and takes treats gently from the hand.
He has been a pleasure to be around any will give you cuddles all day . I don’t know how long it will take for him to get back his confidence or if he will ever fully trust again but all signs are there for a full recovery.I doubt he was ever on a lead before but is doing well.
Albert would love for someone to give him a special foreever home where he could give cuddles and Company and learn that people aren’t so bad. here are a few pics before, and after ten days as you can see Rosie and Albert are great Pals.

Well Toby (Ralph) is now shouting for Cork, his new family collected him on Friday, they have bonded well over the last few days. This house is missing him but we were very happy to see him go to such a nice family. Well done to the D.I.D team Kathy and co you have mad a doga and a family complete.

Hi 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 .

Well 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?

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.

Dave , Congrats it is great to know Mel is getting the home that she deserves. See you Monday.

[Alanl]

Mel has been with us a week now. She is a fine dog and comming on in leaps and bounds. We have put sunscreen on her nose and ears the last couple of days just in case,although she keeps well out of the sun. She is fully house trained and even looks to go out every now and then, she is also comming on great with the new commands her Sit is very good and she almost has stay you have to be a little gentle with her as she is a shy dog and not into fuss, she would much rather sit at your feet and get rubs. She is soo good with young kids and her gentle side really comes to thre fore around them.
All in all she is a great little dog with loads of love to give . I will post more pics tomorrow as it is bath night tonight
