dezwez Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 4 minutes ago, GMX said: I do like spending the most of the afternoon with Pipper, couldn't manage the full 3½ hours, due the client appointment that was proving difficult to reschedule. I did manage to get it moved an hour earlier, so I didn't get down to Pipper until 12:45pm Which meant we only had 2¾ hours together. However, we did have a 2 hour walk round the dog walking paddocks, followed by some off lead free running interspersed with a bit clicker training in the off lead compound and finally a cuddle and some play The rescue rehoming person said she'd got the reference from Brandy's vet, and I am apparently an exemplary dog owner who put my dog's need first etc, So they won't need to do any other checks apart from meeting my Mum, who occupies part of the house. And because Pipper came from an home where there were ducks, chickens and rabbits and her former next door neighbour had cats that used the garden, they don't want to observe how Pipper reacts to Molly, as she was indifferent to fast moving furry and feathery things. My rehoming handover appointment is tomorrow at midday Whereas I only have one sleep till I can bring Pipper home that's all good news then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I did like discovering earlier that the local Tesco Express stocks smoked salmon slices, albeit in rather small packs (100g) and equally surprising: Hass avocadoes Which consequently enabled me to have break from bacon, olives and cheese for my tea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simcor Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I do like that in 11.5hrs from now I will be in my new car. Unless anything goes drastically wrong that is.

GMX Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I do like that we've returned from the rescue centre and Pipper is now in residence Unlike Brandy was when I got her: Pipper is used to car travel, so there was no heaving from the back seat, every couple of minutes, She also must be used to going in the boot, and not riding on the back seat, as she leapt into the boot the moment I opened it. She was quite reluctant to get on the dog hammock (strung between the headrests resting on the back seat), as if previously she had been told "dogs ride in the boot, seat are for humans". We've just had an extensive sniff throughout the house and garden except for Molly's room. Which is Molly's dog-free sanctuary, where she does her private cat things. It turns out the rescue centre feed everyone at 9:30am and 3:30pm. So Pipper will be expecting her tea shortly Brandy used to have hers between 5-6pm whereas Molly has her meals 12 hours apart. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great news!! I must admit though, not being a dog owner I was one of those people who would have expected dogs to go in the boot (minus the parcel shelf of course), but I'm sure there are good safety reasons for them not to and you are far more experienced than me in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I do like arranging to have a second viewing of the MK1 Focus Ghia tomorrow evening... The seller has by now realised that her asking price was far too high and with the sight of some £20 notes, I think I can make a very good deal for both of us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I do like taking Pipper for her first neighbourhood walk after she had her tea. And her first evening stroll, from which we've recently returned. She's happy to greet any dog she encounters, whereas Brandy could be selective who she acknowledged: and who she ignored. Pipper has decided as soon as she came in the office that my typing is much better with one hand, the other hand must be used for non-stop ear stroking and chin tickling 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
