Hi Anne. I love having 2 but it is a very personal decision. We had Lola first and she was absolutely fine on her own but we decided to get a friend for her. Just to echo what Clare said - Lola chose Lena because the dog we had originally taken a liking to on the web site turned out to be an absolute no-no for Lola. It just feels like the family is complete now. Practically, we have a large estate car (Vectra) so there is plenty of room for them both. Our other car (Ford Kuga) won't fit our 2 in the boot, so I have to have one on the back seat (I have a hammock thing so she can't fall into the footwell and a guard between the front seats to stop her climbing through). The 2 girls get on really well, so it's really about finding the right dog (male or female) to get on with your Bugsy if that's what you decide to do. What was important for me was that I could walk 2 together on my own and cope if they kicked off (ours are not cat friendly). Good luck with your deliberations. You are right to think it through in advance. Linda x

So glad she had a good night. Nights weren't really an issue until 5.00 am hit! I guess rabbits are a bit more of a challenge when they hop off and are in a run! We loved her as well and hope that you all understand it was so difficult. As Ruth said to me, I probably need to be a bit harder in disciplining and let them know who's boss. Cherrypie seems more settled and enjoying not being growled at when she gets on the bed. I agree Ruth she has a very waggy tail luckily it doesn't whip like cherrys. Glad she's got somewhere to go for a few days 🙂

I was told you were making good progress when I went to the Sutton Park walk & I was sooooo pleased. I know how difficult it can be with a nervous dog, but training does work wonders!

Ditto tiggersslave...... I had Nora at home with me last night and she was a perfect little house guest - I am sure she remembered where she was and slept like a log all night. She went for a walk with mine this morning and wanted to play with two Spaniels she saw and we introduced her to the cats again and she happily sniffed them without her muzzle on and was far more interested in their food! She loves her food but waited patiently after she had eaten her breakfast whilst mine finished theirs. We currently have our ducks and chickens in their enclosure on the patio as we are having a new run built for them and Nora thought they were great fun and got very excited!!!! Martin has kindly agreed to foster her for a few days as I will be looking after Missy post op from tomorrow. I love this little girl who is full of personality and love and never stops wagging her tail 🙂

I think that was just the right decision to make for everyone - Nora, Cherrypie and their family. It's got to work for all otherwise everyone is miserable 🙁 and when I have a new dog the most important thing is my existing dog is happy with the newbie. Well done buckethead (!! LOL) I think that was a brave but right decision to make, I'm sure there'll be just the right home out there for Nora and Cherrypie will find her best friend when it's right 🙂 Julie

Daisy is making lots of progress. Fantastic. So heres a word of encouragement to all the lovely new mums and dads to think seriously about taking their new grey to training. Daisy actually went into a garden centre with me yesterday and helped me choose the straw for the chickens! And today, well heavens today I met my chum and her labradoodle puppy who Daisy happily walked with. It is so wonderful to see Daisy begin to overcome her nervousness in the big outside world. And there is a BIG improvement since she has been listening to Julie and watching all the lovely greys on saturday mornings. She has made friends with Lola and Lena and even wagged her tail at them. How good is that! xx
