Puppies? What puppies?

Just thought I would give a quick update on Simba, now called Mo (after Farley Mowat). He is a total bundle of baby play. He has been with us just over three days now and has gained in confidence and bounce each day. As Sinead said he definitely has traffic issues, our problem being in the country is that he wants to chase every tractor and an open field has him whining to be let run. I wonder if he followed his previous owner on the tractor and is looking for him in each one that passes. Otherwise he is settling well, has no issues with the house any more, he is eating, (and waiting his turn) sleeping with the other dogs, playing with them, walking with them (when I have help as with visiting Douggie we are up to a count of 5 dogs, 4 DID) and being loved big time. Sinead, Paddy and the boys have done a fantastic job with him and I doubt he would have settled so quickly with us without their hard work and socialisation. He is a big baby and responding well to training, as long as I keep it little and often. He loves being brushed and played with and it puts a big smile on our faces to have this huge bear barrelling towards us when we call him. All in all a very welcome addition to our family!

How lovely to hear about Jamie! It sounds like he and Mac are very alike, right down to the dodgy stomach. Mac does love the runs, he covers huge distances and makes it look easy, he just lollops along and can accelerate in a split second. As you say very timid and shy but always ready to defend his family should the need arise. If you chat to him (as I do) he tips his head to one side and looks interested, and loves leaning against us or just resting his head on us. Fascinating to hear that both he and Jamie as so similar. Keep in touch!
