Can’t wait!!!
Me and the missus have always wanted a pup but never been settled enough, always moving house. Well, after 13 years, a move to Australia and the arrival of our son a couple of years ago, we went to the pound yesterday and found a gorgeous dog. She’s a rescue dog, 5 months old. A mongrel – they pound reckon GSD cross with possibly a greyhound – which is spot on as my folks have a GSD and her’s had a greyhound. Very playful little thing, medium sized (but she may grow a bit) and our 2 year old loved her. We all sat down in this field and they brought the dog out and she just sat on my lap and let me fuss her, licked my son’s face and you could tell she liked us – very relaxed. The pound reckon she’s intelligent and very agile so I’m looking forward to having a running/cycling companion, pet, guard dog.
I’ll get some pics as soon as I’ve collected her and got her back.
Now – bit of advice. Best way to transport her? We have a Nissan X-Trail but no “dog bar” at the back so if I put a blanket down in the back is it generally acceptable to clip her in so she doesn’t jump around? I have a lot to learn!!! Booked into puppy school (mandatory instructions from the pound – we have to do at least 6 weeks of puppy classes).
