Yesterday we finally collected Dottie, 3 weeks after our first visit.

She has settled in a lot better than I’d expected. She’s already using the training pads without any accidents and out Cats don’t seem to be that bothered by her.

Her first night was relatively stress free too. She woke three times to have a wee and slept through until about 7am. I found her happily playing in her basket when I went in to see her.

Dottie shortly after the beginning of her new adventure.

Shortly after her first play time with us.

I love Border Terriers, They’re ace. 😀

Welcome to the club.

Glad to hear she’s settling in.

A red grizzle just like our Archie was when he was a pup, here’s a shot from a while back I’ve not posted before

Welcome to the club 🙂

Here is Molly (the apple of my eye, and an absolute Angel)

and here is Jasper, who is descended from Satan himself!

And a big hello from another Molly. (5 months old)
Best of luck with Dottie. Best. Dogs. Ever.

Outrageously cute and a good name too 😀

OMG, that Dottie looks like a bundle of badness! 😀

She’s been an absolute joy today. I’ve had a smile on my face all day.

It’s so rewarding teaching her stuff. Today we’ve been concentrating on Toilet training. She can now go out into the garden and wee, hasn’t managed a poo yet though. Our back garden has a series of steps to navigate before reaching grass and she can now ascend and descend them without any trouble at all. 😀

She’s currently howling away in her crate. I really want to see her but I know I can’t until she’s quite and settled. 😥

She looks ace,
Borders are top, Brian says hello,

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG cuteness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another 1 for the club!
Gylly at 4 months:

More recently at 7 months:

He is growing up nicely. Looking at him tonight I think it is time for hair stripping though.
I agree, Borders are ace!

Jake approves.
