Title: We've Fostered Charlie
Post by: Woody's Mum on December 24, 2005, 06:45:56 PM: Well, we've got him!!

Charlie was dropped around to our house at lunch time today and he is staying for Christmas!

He is absolutely adorable and it really makes me annoyed to think that he's homeless, there really is no excuse.

Anyway, he's settled in well with our two, he's realised that Daisy is the boss and he just lets her get on with it!! Woody thinks he's wonderful!

He is alarmingly interested in Dylan the rabbit and we've had to reinforce the rabbit run - if he eats Dylan, i'll blame Penny!!

So he'll be having Christmas lunch with us tomorrow, its a nice feeling to think we've helped somehow.

I can vouch for the fact that he's a really happy, friendly and well trained (if slightly portly!) lad, I wish we had room to keep him but hopefully they will find someone to give him the home he deserves in the new year.

I hope that he has a wonderful time with you Toni - you really are a christmas angel for taking him in - I am sure three cockers don't take up that much more room than two...?? ;)

I can always swap you with a manic ADHD pup with the squits :rolleyes:

So pleased it worked out for you both. The older cockers really do settle in well.

Post by: Woody's Mum on December 26, 2005, 04:37:14 PM: Just a little update on Charlie! :D

After howling the first night (unfortunately it was Christmas Eve so we were more than a little bleary eyed on Christmas Day!) Charlie has settled in great.

He was very pleased with his Christmas Dinner with my two yesterday and we even managed to get to Pets at Home to make sure he had a present under the tree from Santa Paws!!! ;)

We took them all to the beach this morning and Charlie had a ball! Woody was slightly apprehensive as it was his first peek at the big blue sea but Charlie and Daisy ran around like lunatics!! :lol:

He would really and truly make someone such a good companion and if we keep exercising him with Daisy he will be far more streamlined than when he arrived too!! :lol:

Post by: anniej on January 26, 2006, 08:57:57 PM: Any update on Charlie? Hubby and I have decided we definately want a companion for Piper, and us too of course, and a rescue cocker might just fit the bill. Our last cocker wasn't too fond of other dogs so we had to have just her on her own. Piper now is looking for a bit of company and loves playing on the beach or in the bracken on the moor and tumbles around with other dogs and then hates to be called back to go home!
