We're Liz & Alan, and our new baby is called Bailey and I soooooo wish we'd seen this site first, although we wouldn't change him for the world. He came to live with us 5 and a half weeks ago, and has had a bad start to life.We were somewhat conned by the woman we bought him from - she seemed very knowledgable on the phone, and really nice, but it turns out some of her dogs had kennel cough a few weeks before we got Bailey, and she "forgot" to tell us, till I got on the phone to her at 6am the morning after we got him home because he was retching. She assured me it was nothing at all to worry about, and he'd be over it in a few days. Ha Ha. 5 weeks, 2 courses of antibiotics, and so far £160 in vets bills, and he's just had his first jab last night.
We have missed out on some of the fun weeks we should have had with him, and he's extremely frustrated cos he wants to socialise with people and animals, and he still can't. But as one of the vets we saw said, "he's got the rest of his life to enjoy with us".
I'm trying to add some pics, but I can't seem to downsize them. Can anyone help me please? I tried doing what it said on the Forum, but they still seem huge. Looking forward to chatting to you all, and I have to say what some GORGEOUS dogs there are on here, and loads of useful information.
