So Dewey or Ross as we called him departed for his forever home. Really happy for him as he deserves a fantastic home. Fabulous dog. Here is to lots of happy times for him and his new family. He is the cleverest dog I have ever met.
Message from Dewey.
Was helping Sarah pack her case for school today. Don’t think she was too impressed but she gave me a huge hug. Wanted to go in the car to say goodbye at the bus but had to stay behind with Charlie. We had a lovely walks today and Sarah shared her sausages with me. I actually think she likes sausages more than I do.
Message from Dewey. I am smelling of rosemary from my visit to my foster mum’s aunt. I had a good old sniff in her garden. I also walked around Dalkey Village, up to Coliemore Harbour. Just loved the breeze.
Auntie was very impressed with me. Said that my delightful colouring suited her sitting room. Finished the day snuggling up to my foster mum. She loves a good cuddle.There is a video of me on my adventures in the garden. Check it out.
So Dewey is beside me and Charlie is on top of the couch. Dogs exhausted after huge run in Deerpark. Both live their vegetables carrots and red peppers are their favourite.
Dewey is putting up with Charlie’s antics as she is quite jealous of Dewey. My dog is very aloof whereas Dewey does not do aloof .. Very friendly and easy to get to know.
Dewey is a gorgeous dog. Currently lying down beside me. He is a very affectionate chap. He loves company. Will sit down to have his coat brushed. He knows not to take Charlie’s food which is very wise as likely to get a tap on his nose from her paw. My daughter says he grows on you. He has the knack of worming his way into your heart.
No bow provided but had a lovely bath. Left Sandra, Sarah and Charlie (SSC) for my new family. All excited to see me. A home to call my own finally. Bet SSC will miss me!
Had a lovely run in the dog park in the rain with Charlie. Met some lovely people including four very friendly children. Charlie exhausted from her activities. Sitting here with Sandra as she pounds away on the laptop preparing presentations for class. She says that I am like a nice hot water bottle nice and warm. Looking forward to tomorrow as Sandra is going to give me a nice warm bath. Wonder if she will give me a bow like Charlie has. Will find out tomorrow.
Managed to escape from the back garden today.. found another escape route. Sandra was not too impressed but I was outside the garden gate barking to get in. She was very relieved. She and Sarah took Charlie to the dog park before the weather started to get really bad. Had fun with Cody a charming Labrador, Maya and Buddy running around and chasing the ball before heading home to my dinner. Charlie got this new fancy bowl which is supposed to slow down her eating, it’s a bit like a maze. Her nose is so big that she cannot get at all her food but needless to say I manage to save the day. My little snout can work its way into the tiniest of places and I had great fun eating the rest. I do not give Charlie a chance to eat my food, not that she needs it as she is a bit on the chubby side and despite what Sandra says, it is not all hair.This Christmas thing is very exciting. Getting to spend a lot of time with Sandra who is getting up very early in the morning to do some work on that dreaded laptop. I am doing my best to distract her but she is spurning my charms.. have to turn my attention to Charlie who is pretending she does not like me but secretly she sleeps with me at night. I think that Sandra has found that the lady does protest too much.
Sarah, Charlie, Sandra and I are having fun times in the dog park every day. All the dog owners are meeting up with their pets. Have met two cute little JRT pups this week .. Bella and Pippy but they are very annoying.. one of them cannot take No for an answer. My sheer personality and magnetism is just so overwhelming. As you can see, modesty is not my strong point. Check out my photo on the skateboard. I’ll be like Marmaduke .. on the surf board next in Lahinch if I am lucky! Happy New Year to you all and hopefully a new home for me.
Message from me Rex today as opposed to Sandra who likes to spend too much time on internet per me and Sarah. Finally got rid of that pesky cone. Freedom at last.. thank goodness. I am a lovely handsome charming boy who needs a forever home. Rest assured if you decide in me, I Will shower you with kisses .. no need for a facecloth , water and soap with me around .. your own personal groomer. Would miss Charlie.. think she has fallen a little bit in love with me but who wouldn’t when faced with such a fine specimen as me!
Huge number of dogs in Deerpark dog park today when we brought Rex and Charlie. Met some old friends such as Cassie, Maja and Max who was rather perturbed by the cone on Rex’ s head. Rex was happy running around and chasing the ball. He came home for his dinner ( he ate all his greens .. reluctant veggie eaters take note) and then spent the rest of the evening curled up on my lap. Looking forward to his stitches coming out and getting rid of lampshade on his head. Wonder what he is going to make of Christmas tree when it goes up.
Rex has by osmosis developed some of Charlie’s tricks. Today he decided he did not want his dinner. To check if something was wrong, I cut up a little bit of ham and mixed it through his food. Miraculously he regained his appetite. Charlie does this from time to time when she is bored.
Rex is recovering from being neutered today. He was delighted to see us this evening. I think he did not know what was going on. Charlie also happy to see him. Sarah says that perhaps Charlie was more excited by the dog food that we got at the vets than Rex. Hopefully, someone will fall in love with him and give him a new home.
Rex has a lovely personality. Taken him to hockey and gymnastics training with me where he has interacted with other dogs and kids, very friendly.
Everyone he has met so far has commented on his delightful nature. best a family with children, experienced dog owner, another dog for company would be the ideal for him.[/quote:umwmz2ui]
Update 17th Nov. Rex gets on very well with other dogs. He loves going to the dog park to meet his buddies, whether big or small. He loves being groomed and washed unlike Charlie my dog who runs for her life when she sees the dog shampoo out. The beauty of bathing Rex is that he fits into the kitchen sink. Sarah my 10 year old loves taking him for a walk as she can manage him on the lead.Update 20th Nov.
Rex loves his morning and afternoon walks with Sarah. In the evenings, he likes to cuddle. He loves to be groomed. He is very agile and quick on his feet.
