Re: Max and us

Adorable boy and a precious girl! They look so happy together.

Not much better in life than a great dog - or four - as the case may be!

Re: Max and us

Today was a bit hectic.We walked as we do and managed to avoid the downpours. This afternoon it was off to the groomer. That was a bit of a challenge. I can't drive because of my cataracts so we have to take a taxi.

The one driver who will take dogs was not available for his appointed time this morning but the groomer was flexible and it got rescheduled for afternoon.


We are moving in about a week to meet the agreed completion date but contracts were not completed until today. Lots of things to do changing addresses, organising the packers, removers, utilities,

Tomorrow I'm off to hospital for surgery and on Friday we are off to the vet.

Fun week.

Thank you kindly, Sweet Pea.

Yes, he is photogenic. And a really very good dog. A big, gentle, handsome beast. Attentive, obedient.
A little tail from yesterday afternoon.

Our house fronts on to a green Two little girls, a neighbour's children, were sitting there when I got back with Max. He sat with them for a while and they fussed over him. I let them be. It isn't something of which dog behaviourist approve and I quite understand that.

If other children want to fuss over him I tell they have to get their parent's nod.

Anyway, when it was time for the little girls to go home they walked Max back into our house. A testament to all. They are very polite, that whole family is.
And Max is Max.

I believe ‘the border ‘ is England /Scotland if it’s the same breed you are referring to as I have ..and whilst Samson is nearly 9 now I have no regrets in my choice of best mate whatsoever however I would say border collies aren’t for the feint hearted and whilst they carry the best dog, most loyal , most intelligent, most this that and the other breed ... it all comes at a cost and unless you are 100% active outdoors in all weathers then try a different breed easier on your legs !
They are a natural working dog and want to ‘work’ 24/7 as they have such active mind and spirit ... no where in their book does it say ‘relaxing day ‘ and they get bored after a minutes silence so whilst I’m not saying don’t I am saying as celine Dion once said THINK TWICE

Re: Max and us

Still miss my two brothers Pooh and Benji....both had to be put down a few weeks apart aged 16 Awful to lose a friend...losing both was heartbreaking.

Thank you SP. The reference to Glassoline Alley was the amount of broken glass there. It's route from the local convince store to a chav estate.

We won't miss that.
