Lesley Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Just caught up with this Jane - he is so cute! Must make sure that Carl doesn't see this - that is exactly what he is looking for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aylana Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 ooooohhh, he is so cute!!!!!! This is such a worthwhile thing that you are doing.

Martin B Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I'd like to adopt a guide dog for the blind. A lady near our school comes in with her dogs and tells us all about them. I think it is our school charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I wondered what had happened about the dog thing Lesley....is it still up in the air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Just re-read my last post.... I don't mean to suggest that you are throwing dogs about - (better clear that one up quickly!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 - no, we're not into dog-throwing! Twice we have asked to see a dog in the Meet and Greet room only to be told someone has reserved the dog in question. We lost heart a bit - why didn't they put it on the details?. Then we decided to wait to see what condition all our boundary fences are in and ask for a home-check first, then if we do see a dog we feel would be suitable, at least we will be ready to take it home. Carl has always wanted a black labrador so we were looking at that type of rescue dog. Wayne would be ideal for Carl The Dogs Trust at Evesham had a lot of greyhounds which would be suitable apart from the chickens aspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 He is just GORGEOUS! Our Buster was a lab cross, and was such a well natured thing, and so easy to train. He'll be massive before you know it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali-s Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Wayne is gorgeous Motherhen. Such a worthwhile thing to do. I wish my training of Archie was going as well as you and Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 just picked up this thread 1 dogs paws can smell gorgeous (molly's do) and joe has great fun most nights before Molly goes to bed by asking to sniff her pads! 2 Molly is VERY well trained. If we need Mol to do her business we say "go on the grass" and after bladder emptying we say "go on the grass again". and as for Wayne he is Gorgeous - joe always wants a choc lab - our friends have recently got a bright white husky puppie and he is fab, comes out with some seriously weird noises and is even cuter than that I read about training a guide dog in a magazine the other day and thought how worthwhile a thing it would be then I read that you can't leave them for more than 3 hrs and my world was shattered! Good luck with wayne though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 My Molly (Airedale Terror) goes when you tell her to "Be clean". However, that is the only well behaved thing she does. The rest of the time she is pure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
