Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Up at 6am What was I thinking of when I decided that at age 50 I can at last have my own dog. Meet Beau, she is a Patterdale Terrier and only 6 weeks old. (D.O.B. 24.04.09) She's made friends with Benjie my hubby's 3 yr old Chocolate Labrador. Peggy p.s. I wonder if her Forum namesake is so cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rea Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Oh she's lovely Peggy, I bet even at 6am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 :( She is so cute! So much cuter than me, which is saying something of course. :wacko: I feel like I'm now her Dogmother or something - what a responsibility! I do love dogs though, so she is in safe hands. :rolleyes: Give her an extra special hug from me and my lovely dog Jessie. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Oh Peggy, she is georgeous - my son's girlfriend has a black Patterdale who is now just over a year old and she has the most delightful temperament, you have made a wise choice in your new companion.

Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 How strange is this? I had never heard of a Patterdale before until yesterday. I am looking for a rescue dog and have found a gorgeous Patterdale cross. I am waiting to hear from the rescue place to see if he is still waiting to be adopted. She looks beautiful Peggy-she certainly matches her name. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Oh Peggy she's lovely!!! You've done the right thing. I can't believe I waited so long to replace my beloved Toffee. Archie has brought so much laughter and shared enjoyment into the house in the last 2 months. Even reluctant husband calls him son!! We think we used the wrong name as he should have been called Pringle (guess why!!) woofs and licks Archie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 she looks lovely Peggy, And Beau is that a Springer... Sometimes I really miss my springer ...she was liver and white though... Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Yes, she's a springer. We had a liver and white one when we first got married and a few years after she died we got this one. She's now almost 14 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 oh she's so cute, I bet even when she's being a monkey you cannot bear to shout at her as I am like with my nans most gorgeous golden lab called Honey...have always wished for a dog but currently have an evil blue persian cat- and I mean evil, she's gorgeously fluffy but getting old and does that typical cat stare so looks like Bond's nemesis' cat! maybe one day I will get my dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 A lovely little bundle Peggy in fact lots of lovely dogs My poor old boy was adopted from the Dogs Trust and we are wondering if he can cope with a small "friend" as he is very nervous of other dogs.

Guest Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 WOW What fantastic replies, how lovely to have a 'rogues' gallery :wacko: Beau, I would be honoured if you would be Beau's dogmother I'll keep you up to date with her progress reports and you can feel free to send her a chewy (or something) on her birthday each year ) Sama, Lily is gorgeous, I'd certainly recommend labradors as a breed that is very suitable for families with children (young or old). Our Benjie would often come to preschool with me and the children used to love his visits. Sunnydale, she's a birthday present to myself, I insisted on buying her (rather than from the joint account ) so that she's mine all mine Panders & Linda, I chose a Patterdale because I got to know Beau's sister from her mums first litter, she's 18 mths now and still small and cute, she also responds well to commands etc. My motives to get a Patterdale were 1/ To have my own lap dog (but not too yappy) 2/ To get a playmate for Benjie (who sleeps too much for a relatively young dog - 3yrs old) 3/ To have a smaller dog so I can manage both on walks. Biccy, Awe Archie looks like he's a right character, the pic looks like an "It wasn't me, honest" pose. :rolleyes: Marion - Your dog looks very handsome, I love his curled tail. Maybe we should start a dog pic gallery :unsure: Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
