Had some exciting news today that we're high on the waiting list for a new Setter coming into rescue in the next couple of weeks.  surprised

A 3 year old boy, sounds as though it might be a perfect companion for Lady. But we've been disappointed before so, although we're keeping our fingers crossed, we're trying not to take anything for granted.

Will keep you updated if anything materialises! smile

    Wonderful news M fingers crossed that it works out for you. Difficult not to build your hopes up. Someone is going to be a very lucky boy to have you and lady to look after him and give him the love he deserves

    Do hope that special space in your lives is filled soon, M. I guess no long haul holiday for you in the new year! It's Borneo bound for us. 👍

    Well have a great time in Barneo - it's another of the places on our future wish list! 

    We are actually off to South Africa in February - Lady will be going to stay in her ususal home from home with the girl I used to teach. If we are lucky enough to be chosen for the new addition, she'd be happy to look after him as well, though we might see first whether rescue HQ would be happier to look after him.  But, it's all very tentative at the moment - he's still being assessed and health checked. It may be that they decide he'd be better as an only dog - apparently he's been "bullied" by his previous owners other dogs. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed,

    Still waiting to hear more. We know that the dog came over (from Belfast, just like Lady) on the 20th. He was with a family where there were other dogs and he was "being bullied" especially at meals. So very nervous and underweight. Blood tests have all shown no basic health problem and he is eating well now so that sounds positive.  He's currently being assessed at rescue HQ. I suspect they may decide he be best in a home on his own given previous issues,  but we will keep hoping!  smile

    Hope things go well Moulesy, the sad thing about rescue animals is there's always another one, so at least you'll be there for the next one if this doesn't work out.
