When we got our puppy in the summer I had a look over here and found the puppy thread, which made me feel that we were about to have a very hard few months/year. Obviously we all only tend to post when we've got a problem that we ned help with, but I thought it would be nice while it's Christmas to have a positive thread.
So, I'll start.
My puppy is now 7 months old, he's a black and white Lurcher rescue. It has been an absolute joy to have him in our family and he is now very much one of us. He was house trained within a few weeks and now just barks at the back door when he wants to go out. We go to dog training with him and he's doing very well, with a few hiccups recently due to the onset of adolescence. He smiles at us when he greets us, wraps himself around our feet on these cold nights and is the most loving, loyal, entertaining dog. I have never regretted getting him and it's been worth what was really only a few weeks of hard work in the beginning.
Am off to get him a Christmas bone later.
