Feeling happy
About a month ago I wrote that after losing our much loved Poppy we had made the decision not to have another dog. That changed last weekend when we decided we were both so miserable that we just had to have another one. We were very fortunate to get a
Border Collie puppy from a lovely farmer in Cumbria.Bramble has settled in well and everything revolves around him. He is such a bonny little thing with a lovely personality. He will have a fantastic life with us, never going into kennels but enjoying lots
of trips away in the caravan. If he gives us half as much pleasure as Poppy did then we will be very fortunate. Poppy is still a big miss but life is just looking so much brighter now with Bramble.

That's great for you JoJo. Changing your mind is allowed and arriving at the right decision for you is what matters. Enjoy your pup.

I can't imagine life without a dog around. I have had dog's all my life and always from resuce centres. I have 2 Border Collies. Sparky who has just turned 7 and Buddy who is 18 months. Milo, my forum name, was also a Collie who lived until he was 17.
Enjoy Bramble and I hope he brings you as much happiness as all our boy's have past and present.
Ian.

Good for you JoJo, lovely news. Of course you'll always miss Poppy but you'll have happy memories of your time with her, especially when you take Bramble back to those places she went with you.
Good luck and let us know how things go on with the new boy!

Welcome to the,CC Bramble. I'm so glad for you. Getting a another dog after losing a much loved pet is a bitter sweet action but I know you'll have many happy times ahead. If your Bramble is like our border collie Tess, he'll have a wonderful life and love his trips away.
Tess is currently snoozing in front of the gas fire dreaming of her next trip away in the caravan!

That is super news JoJo. Poppy left such a large void for you which Bramble will now fill to a certain extent.

We got our younger one from them in 2014. They are totally devoted to the breed and have dogs of all ages looking for a forever home.

...Yes thanks ,we are hoping to see them in new year ,when we spoke, most they had at the time were very much in need of a lot of "work" to help them socialise ,

Thank you so much for your good wishes. Bramble has now been with us for 10 days. He has had his first injection and is due his second on the 30th. We are looking forward to long walks in the countryside and on the beach. Bramble will come, sit and lie
down so, fingers crossed, he should be easy to train. Our house feels like a home again, all you dog lovers will know exactly what I mean.0 -

Lovely news Jojo - and yes - we do know what you mean. The only time our adorable Cockapoo, Meg, is not in the house with us, is when she goes to the groomers (every six weeks!). Being a princess, she is there for almost four hours, being pampered and spoilt - and she loves it. But the house is EMPTY whilst she's away and I hate it - and keep looking at the clock, counting the minutres to when I can go an pick her up. Although this is my first dog and Meg is only three, she is so much part of the family, that I can't imagine life without her.
