I've always wanted a smaller dog a Westie or a Shih Tzu, but Brucie won't let me on account we are both working and already have a rather large mini zoo to look after
I kind of agree in a way it is nicer for a lone dog to have someone with them most of the day so I live in hope he'll let me once I retire :8855:
Have a great day Rach x

Dogs are great at adapting to their circumstances, Millie's on her own during the day but gets a walk and loads of attention early in the morning and when we come home, I always slot in "special Millie" time when its just her and me to make sure that she doesn't feel abandoned or left out - she sleeps most of the day so seems to work. In fact if we are at home during the day now, she still goes to bed and sleeps!
Although she does sulk beyond anything imagineable if I DARE to go out at night and sits in the window crying until I come home - does actually make me think twice about going out at night LOL!!

Oh I like that really about Millie, I wanted a baby type dog that wanted lots of cuddles and kisses and thats exactly what I got! Although her insistence of coming to the loo with me is wearing off now!

dying a little inside
PT session part deux was horrific. I only did one exercise and that was interval training on the cross trainer.. 3 lots of 3-2-1 at 45rpm - 70rpm - fast as you can go (which was around 90-95rpm) ..
i was physically shaking after.. unreal. so put off the gym that i actually walked out before mentally talking myself round and going back in to book my third session.
I have been good with points though.. i didnt track as vigilantly as i should've but i've added them all up now and i am still 3.5 down on my allowance so i'm glad back to 100% tracking tomorrow though as don't want to slip up before monday!
was so knackered after my 18 minutes of personal training (how pathetic does that sound?!) that i couldnt make myself walk Lenny so Matty took him while i made tea.
I've still earned 3AP at the gym and 1.5AP from this mornings walk with Lenny though so i'm pleased x
B - 2 crumpets (2) pate (1) 1/2 glass orange juice (0.5)
L - batchelors l.f mushroom soup (2) 2 thick slices bread (4) tomatoes, basil (0)
T - pork chop (3) nandos hot peri peri marinade (0.5) 1/2pk ainsley harriots moroccan cous cous (2.5) carrots, broccoli (0)
S - 4 crackerbread (1) meringue nest x2 (1.5) nutrigrain bar (2) 100g cherries (0.5)
total: 20.5 points x

thanks guys..
well, after that long talk with Matty about dogs and the size and what we can manage...
meet Max
as any doggy enthusiast will know, Max (being a Red Setter) is a very small dog.. if you line him up next to a horse
we were out walking Lenny this morning before taking him home, and came across Max.. complete with collar and number but no owner to be found. Chopwell woods is a very big place (there are loads of routes in it - the largest being about 8 miles long) and therefore who knows how far he had wandered. He was very dehydrated so we brought him home to ring his owners while giving him some food and water, but the number on his collar is no longer in use.
So we have done the usual - rang the police, local authority and spoken to the PDSA / VetsNow / RSPCA who have informed the local authority dog wardens, should anyone come forward. We also took him to be scanned for a chip, but he hasnt got one
In the meantime, Max is staying with us Amber is not impressed to find the smaller, fatter, wrinklier dog has been replaced by a horse hahaha
Bit over points today as i did nibble a few things that i shouldnt have:
B - frylight egg (1.5) 2 slices streaky bacon (2.5) 3 quorn sausages (2) 1/2glass orange juice (0.5)
L - sainsburys veg soup (3) 2 slices bread (2.5)
T - quorn mince (2) pasta (3) lettuce, cucumber, tomato (0) l.f. dressing (0.5) 1 piece of garlic bread (1)
S - cheese (2) drench flavoured water (2) mini cheddars (2.5)
total: 25 points
but i did earn 1.5 points walking Lenny before he went home today
so will use 1 point of that to counteract

well, he earned me about 30 seconds.. just took him out for a quick evening walk and as soon as i walked out of the gate a girl shouted me. He belongs to her parents who live in High Spen and apparently the buggar lets himself out for a walk all the time (when he's not supposed to).
Apparently I have been saved - while we were waiting for his dad to pick him up i was told that a) he had a twisted stomach when he was younger and had an operation to fix it - meaning that he can only eat small amounts and is also very fussy and has constant stomach problems so requires constant medication for it. b) he has a 'lick' - he was rescued from kennels and has anxiety so licks himself to the point that he has sores which require medication c) he has a skin condition that also requires medication.
so pleased he has found his home but i did love him to pieces.. but in reality he was absolutely huge - couldnt possibly have kept him long term!

In the 10s at last!
Oh i was just about to say can you imagine if you could keep max?
But then ive just read that a) you found his owner & b) he has a few problems!
You will have your pup rach when the time is right & in the meantime you can be a good dog sitter!
Britt went to the cattery today with her nan (nans cat is there while they moved house into a moblie home)
& guess what was in the neighbouring pen?
2 bootiful persians! OMG i would have died & gone to heaven. She took pix & 1 was grey & 1 white. & the girl even let britt go in for a munch!
By the way well done on geting back to the diet,wish i had your determination at the mo! xxx
