Post photos of your dogs (Vol 5)
Discussion
Having lost my Beloved Chester (black and white Basset...ish) a few months ago, the hole he left was horrible and HUGE.I decided that Bella (the black Lab - now 2 years old)and I were fine on our own. Everything was in balance, and she had settled down to being an 'only child'. But...
I couldn't resist looking at adverts for Basset puppies for sale.
Fred (yes, that really is his name!) stood out in the few adverts, quite local(ish) not ridiculously over-priced, but, I really didn't want another dog/puppy, regardless of how cute they are or how much I missed Chester. But, the advert carried on running and the number of pups was reducing... 6, 4 then just 2. I decided that if the last one remaining was a black-and-white boy, I'd make the call. On Sunday, there was one puppy left, a black and white boy...

Meet Fred (or Freddie) who is the calmest, most laid-back puppy I've ever known. His 14 weeks old and cute as a button.

I was definitely in two minds about this, especially as it was a breed I said I didn’t want, but as is the norm my wife completely ignored me and has gone and got this little chap. He’s a cockerpoo and, unbeknown to us until today, he was born on the day we lost Archie - May 13th (and yes, I blubbed when I found out). We’re off to France for a family holiday in about five or six weeks’ time and we collect him when we come back home.
So, everyone, please say hello to the newest edition to our family and meet Stanley![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)

Sounds flippant, but in time you will smile again when she comes into your mind.

So I met Stanley for the first time tonight - he’s a proper bruiser compared to his brothers and sisters (he’s from a litter of six, plus there was mum and dad there too) and isn’t shy about elbowing them out the way when it’s time for a feed. Six weeks to go…

You’ll be wearing a ‘I Love My Cockapoo’ T-shirt within days of him arriving ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)

Ok, I need Basset hound now. Mandy is still being lovely and good with the eye regime. Specialist next Wednesday for the final word on if the eye can be saved. She’s gained 3kg in weight with me and still got a couple more to add. Luckily her tum has been ok with the gradual gain. We think we have a potential home for her as well with a retired lady who is lonely since her last dog passed away.

Our lovely lady has been in her element today. Garden is being dug up and landscaped so between the new smells and three builders to scratch her bum she is one very happy dog indeed.
She's 9 now, vet really pleased with her at the recent MOT and I reckon we've a good few more years left in her yet. She's a lovely little thing and is brilliant with our two kids. Hopefully the garden won't take long as I've particularly enjoyed watching her sunbathe in the garden lately, she seems very content with life.
Love those photos of you and Summer in the Sumset. We have drones but don’t use them nearly enough. We’re off to the coast this weekend for beach walks so might get other half to charge some batteries up and pack them.
In the meantime Seth is guarding a Wild Orchid we found this morning. He’s very proud of it.
