Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Give him a chance to settle in...then the cats may have something to "hunch up" at but then again he'll probably find out that furry purry things have very sharp bits when swiped over soft noses Good luck and I hope everything does continue calmly..if a little drunkenly Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 As he gets over his puppy tiredness and develops a bit of stamina - watch out! I've only had retriever puppies and they are daft enough! Great fun though Can't wait to hear about his escapades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Tali was quiet for 2 days - but she's making up for it now We're shattered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Well he had a good night, slept from 11.30pm till 6.10am, and has been around and playing and exploring since... We slept downstairs, on the sofa in the playroom next to his bedroom, to be able to hear him, as our bedroom is quite far and we wouldn't be able to hear a thing from there, and he was quiet all night. He went to toilet in the garden just before bed, and I took him there as soon as he woke up, and he did toilet again. He seems extremely fond of my rosemary bushes ... does anyone know if rosemary can be harmful?? The cats have had a bit more contact with him now... both Splodge and Pompom stand their grounds and hiss at him but dont run off, so Charlie comes up to them gently and then steps back. Shaman seems more prone to running off... He is trotting about the garden now, looking all cute and clumsy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Here are two more pictures... I love the one of Charlie and Splodge... it looks like Splodge is saying 'hey, who are you and what are you doing in MY house?' and Charlie is looking at me with a 'mummy... some strange creature is staring at me' expression...

Ziggy Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 Thanks everybody... I love taking pictures (I get on the kids' nerves with my camera obsession... they joke that at the end of the world I'd still say 'hold on, need to take a picture), and want to take loads of Charlie... I never took enough of the cats when they were kittens, and regret it now... The pumkins came from a farm nearby... we have a huge halloween party every year, and we had it a week early this year, so that Charlie didn't have to deal with the commotion!! We bought 35 pumkins this year, most of which got carved at the party, the ones on the picture with Charlie are the leftover!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Lovely photos - Charlie looks so gorgeous. ps should I tell you that a friend spent 2 and a half hours trying to get her setter back in the park obviously yours will be better trained!

Sunshine Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 He is gorgeous!! Looking at all these doggie threads makes me realise how many breeds i would love to own one day!
