She has taken off and is in the air somewhere over Turkey Very Happy

Got sent little video of plane taxing down runway and it made me cry
Crying or Very sad

don’t know why. Just the thought of all those abused and neglected little ones going off to loving forever homes. Won’t sleep a wink tonight there are a number coming over as planes were grounded due to Covid.

God speed little ones xxxx

Aww how kind. The more I know of some people the more I realise that dogs are where we want to be. My o/h feels the same. We are the privileged ones.

Love her so much and can’t wait to get her here xxx

Think I am excited as you are!! Very Happy

She has no idea of what is in store for her in the very near future and I am sure she will settle very quickly once she gets that 'safe and comfortable' feeling.

Oh Gerrie, I have just caught up with your very exciting news.

How wonderful for you and little Lucy. No doubt there may be small hurdles while she is settling in with you, but I wish you both much love and joy together.

Me too, so pleased for you Gerrie and for Lucy to have a loving home Very Happy

Thinking of you today, Gerrie, as this is the day your little Lucy is coming home. Can't wait to hear ("read"!) about the encounter (lots of tears, I bet!) and the first few hours together. Maybe you have already met at this time of day!!!!

Home now. Had chicken and rice, very fast Shocked

big drink of water, wee and a poo Very Happy

She is like a mountain goat and keeps leaping onto my lap and rolling onto her back. She taps with her paw for fuss. Hasn’t stopped wagging yet Laughing

she is very young and larger than we thought .. we have a big puppy Laughing

looks like a teddy bear. She will go to sleep soon Very Happy

Love her to bits. Mol sniffed her butt then went to sleep Laughing

She sounds gorgeously puppy-fied....she must be delighted to be at your house, and I bet she sleeps like a log tonight. Wee-ing, poo-ing, wagging and tapping? Awwwwww....photos please!

Well done, Gerrie - enjoy enjoy enjoy Very Happy

Awwww Gerrie, I'm so happy to read about Lucy's arrival! I bet she has already understood that real life has now begun!

Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2020 8:59 pm

Wonderful! She really sounds like a true character and I am sure you will all have hours of happy fun together. Very Happy

Well .. she went thru the night sleeping in the bedroom with us. She is just love on a stick, so affectionate and demonstrative. I don’t think she is much older than 14 months or so. Energy doesn’t describe her Shocked

She is food obsessed and it vanishes in seconds. She has spent her young life starved so food and love are really valued by her. I will send Mark some pics soon but really need to go onto off topic.
She needs house training but that will come. Very Happy

I, for one, find nagging a particularly irksome habit, however; Pictures, where are the pictures?.. we need some photos Gerrie .. Gerrie... Gerrie ... Gerrie... Pics .. could we have some pics please? ... Gerrie... Gerrie... Have you taken any photos? .. can we see them please? ... Gerrie? ... Oh COME ON GERTIE! .. just a few photos .. Pleasssssssssssse .. Gerrie?...Gerrie? ..........

I was wondering how her first nifgt went, thanks for the news Gerrie!

If she is as young as you think she is, Lucy may overcome her food obsession (which is understandable, of course, due to her past life). Miss You was 3 years old when she joined me and Foxie, and had had to fight to get her fair share of food during those first 3 years and so she remained a very fast eater all her life - she ate absolutely everything I gave her down to the last crumb, and then emitted a noisy belch!

I will get some pics soon. If she can sit still long enough. Her tail never stops wagging. Laughing

Yes, photos will be great when you can take some!!!

How is Molly reacting to the newcomer? And what is Lucy's behavious towards her?

Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2020 8:45 am

Glad first night went well.

Everything will come right with love and patience.

Wishing you both all the very best. Xx

Have sent a couple of quick pics to Mark.

Mollie doesn’t seem bothered once she had sniffed her butt.
Lucy doesn’t show her teeth but twice has shown she is nervous of Moll but only twice. She got a little possessive with a toy so we put it up for now.
She has had to fend for herself so to be expected. We are thrilled to bits with her. Very Happy
