Local vets for a dog (plus other questions).

The only problem with having such a pretty & distinctive doggo, it that she gets spotted very easily on afternoon walks.... Was that really you @tek-monkey, hiding behind a ginormous beard?
I do have a remarkably epic furlough beard right now! I'm now confused however, my eyes aren't great lately but trying to work out where you saw me?

I was in my car in the queue of traffic on Holmcroft Rd, waiting for the 4 way lights to change on Stone Rd/A34.
I would never have recognised you if it weren't for Mango, she's such a cutie!

As it's been a while I'll post some more, these were (I think) from the day as I was spotted.


Human, stop work now and lets go for a walk!

I like that middle picture with the blue rugby ball type thing. That's a look that says:

"Touch this ball .... AND DIE !!!" :P

Can't believe I'm doing this, but got at another dog! Another collie, 6 weeks younger yet not far off in size. Fell in love with the pics, picked him up last night. They're mainly getting on, think he'll be the alpha, but so far a few snaps at each other is all that's happened.

Giving mango loads of fuss, as it's all a bit confusing for her, but she mostly wants to play. Unfortunately he mostly wants to sleep right now and seems confused that he's in a house not a cow barn!

Mango is currently out enjoying walkies with my oh, new pup is asleep on my brother.

2 collies? You're brave!
I know, that or stupid!

She only seems to meet older dogs, we've met one other pup, and when she met that she was ecstatic playing. We had planned a second in the future, but my OH has been put on furlough til it runs it's course then redundancy and the job market is terrible (especially for an EU citizen) so we decided now was the time as we can train them. I have 2 weeks of the next 3 off as well.

Now she's had walkies she seems much happier with him, he's woken up a bit too, so now I can work and my OH can look after them.

The dog training place in Haughton used to do puppy socialisation classes but I would imagine they're not allowed to at the moment if they're still running.

I'll see if I can remember what the company was called if you're interested.

So is the new addition going to be called "passion fruit and" or "chutney"?

We did try the cage

I was wondering what other fruit based ideas I could come up with, but somehow Ollie the Collie has stuck!

We tried using the cage you lent me last night, and put him in, but she just wouldn't leave him alone so they had to stay apart. Didn't feel right locking her up, it's her house. He's very placid and sleeps loads so thinking a very wide stair gate or similar if one will fit to block off my office space, they both try to get over the boxes but if they can see each other maybe they'll be calmer. I hope!

90% of the time they are great, but she has the age advantage and can use her legs properly. Him not so much, he's like an albino ewok!
