Steve (sdh2903) Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Following on from my post a few weeks ago where I received some lovely kind words We had all decided that we weren't ready for a dog free house yet. We had tried the local rescue centres but as we have kids they would only rehome a pup with us. So after a few phonecalls and a drive up to oban in the snow we now have this little ball of energy to keep us all on our toes! An 8 week old border collie called Archie. He's already picking fights with much bigger opponents!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Fantastic! Theyre not replacements, you can never replace an old friend. They’re just an addition to a growing family! Shame about the rescue dog, I can see where they’re coming from. Though it’s probably as much about lack of resources making them draw the line, as actual concerns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve (sdh2903) Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Nope definitely not a replacement just a new member to the fold I can see their point aswell if anything happened to a child with a dog they'd rehomed it would be awful. It's a shame as there were a few that we felt we could have given a good home to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's actually taken a shine to the mrs' ugg slippers. Maybe it's the lambs wool lining 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
