Title: If only he knew!
Post by: Archie bean on July 30, 2016, 08:17:21 PM: This is one for the people who remember my desperate early posts when Archie was a pup......and also one to encourage anyone with a similarly troublesome cockerdile!

I took Archie for our evening stroll tonight and we bumped into a man with a 12 week old chocolate lab puppy who was out for her first ever walk. :luv: She was all over Archie and he just sat there letting her bounce on him. The owner then gave Archie a bit of a cuddle and said "what a fantastic temperament, I hope she grows up just like him". I could have cried. Not a sentence I ever expected to hear!! :D
