    He's a soppy date!
    He insinuates himself on to people's laps, licking frantically and squirming until they stop typing, reading or whatever - in fact he's downright spoilt! :D

    First time out running free - and didn't he love it! :D
    As he loves chasing balls, sticks, etc, I had a frisbee with us, and he was a little angel!

    Thanks everyone for all your good wishes - the way he's settled in, you'd never believe it was 3 weeks ago today he arrived in our house - it's amazing!

    so glad he's settled in so well!!!! [​IMG] [​IMG] ...... now all we need is for him to tell Bramble that you bring the toys back - not run off and drop them where no-one will ever find them again!!!!!

    Yes, I was rather relieved we had a dog who knew the rules! He picks up sticks for you to throw, and sometimes gets a bit over-confident, and just about breaks a jaw, trying to carry the most enormous things!

    Can get them to chat on the phone, do you reckon? A lot cheaper than a journey between the sunny south coast and Falkirk!! :D

    You couldn't get Charlie to have a word with my kids about obedience could you Dendy????????

    Or perhaps we could do a swap???? I'd even throw in their clothes and a small monetary payment to cover their keep!!!!!! :D :D :D

    If we get them together, they'll teach Charlie bad habits!! Like sibling cannibalism..... Bella wouldn't like that, being the nearest thing we have to a sibling for Charlie :rolleyes: But the alternative....mmmmmm, how can I put this???? NOPE!!

    Charlie's been here 5 months now, and at last he's taught Bella how to play with him! I took some pics with the mobile in the garden this morning when they were having a great time. Daisy is there too, but she wasn't really involved in this game....... it's a sequence that will be familiar to all dog-owners! :D

    It's good to see Charlie and Bella playing, dendro! That five months has gone quickly! :eek:

    But then again, it's almost eight months since we've had C&C ... and just these past couple of weeks he's been playing with them and has washed their heads!
