We got Max from Ashtown Pound about three years ago and he’s always been a bit nervous and clingy. He didn’t have a lot going on in his doggy mind except wondering when I’d be back from work and he spent a large part of his day waiting by the front door for me to come home.

We decided that we wanted another dog and thought a companion for Max might help bring him out of himself. We saw Rosi (prev. Lottie) on the DID web site and she came to visit for the weekend so we could see how the two dogs go on. It wasn’t every dog Max got on with and he could be quite possessive and jealous sometimes.

At first Max didn’t know what to make of Rosi, she was all bouncy and wanted to play!! Max wasn’t the playing type and he had no interest in toys. But he couldn’t help being fascinated by this little girl who was tossing a blue octopus around her head and having a great time.

Rosi could see how interested Max was and didn’t let him be shy for long. She just grabbed him into the game and it’s been play play play ever since.

The two dogs are now firm friends after only a month and today Rosi was away all day for her spaying op. When we brought her home and put her into her bed Max came over for a look. He gave her a little sniff and a lick and she gave him a lick back. He’s left her to take it easy for the rest of the night but I know he secretly can’t wait for her to be back up on her feet again.
