Betsi - New puppy!
« on: November 14, 2017, 08:06:03 AM »
...oh well, I was going to do the decent thing and look for a rescue, but i soon realised that it might make more sense to start from scratch with a pup (introducing to resident cats, dog-phobic grandaughter, campervan etc) and then i saw an ad fairly locally for a beautiful orange and white girl pup, and couldnt resist!

Shes home as of yesterday and settling brilliantly with the cats, but has a touch of 'dire rear' prob due to the changes and odd treat that she wasnt used too.....she's on Skinner Field and Trial puppy dry food which im not that sure about but she will stay on it for now.....vets for checkover, 2nd vac and spay advice tomorrow!

I've forgotten how to put pics on here, any tips?

Congratulations!! I faced the same dilema but after weighing up the pros and cons decided that in our situation a pup was the best option and, although a lot more work initially, for us it was the right decision. Good luck with your little girl, she sounds gorgeous, can‘t wait for pictures!
Since Photobucket started charging most of us have switched to alternatives, I personally like Imgbb as its simple to use and I only use it for COL anyway but there‘s a recent thread on here somewhere where  it  was discussed, will see if I can find it again!

There‘re a couple of threads in the forum support section - I think a lot of COL’ers use Flickr.

Congratulations cant wait so see some photos.

When and if to have your dog spayed creates many discussions on here, but make sure that whatever the vet advises you to do, go and do your own research before you book her in.

Personally I waited until Jinley had 2 seasons so that she matured first.  Others havent had theirs spayed, but it is down to personal preference and circumstances.
