Fada update.....

[Deleted]

The boy Fada has gone from strength to strength. He greeted me this morning (at a sensible hour) Kong in mouth ,he has a Kong stuffed with goodies every bed time so consequently bed time is eagerly awaited.He settles,nightly,without fuss, and sleeps through till at least 9am if you let him. He has never performed indoors and has never chewed anything he shouldn't.He is JBC's shadow and wakes him up ,after thundering upstairs, with a slobbery lick.He adores the garden and spends hours mooching round smelling the smells, but has never made an escape attempt.The only fly in the ointment is his coat. Cockapoos,contrary to popular myth, do moult,that is not the fly! He has an undercoat which knots and matts easily. He is impossible to comb through so I am attempting to clip him shorter which will improve things.He lies, like a big dollop,for hours while I clip and comb. This is OK for the top bits but a problem for the other areas! However we will get there eventually.

I woz pleased to learn that Fada "lies like a dollop" and he seems to be an ideal candidate for BartyB's skills with shears....

He does sound like a cutie. I had a look at some dogs on the internet the other day and saw Fadas breed. They are so cute.

Oh dear! Sabjac, I don't want you to evaluate dogs in terms of their cuteness. In much the same way that they're not child-substitutes either, they've got much more to offer than being an adornment for the home...

Show me a dog sh*t up to the eyeballs, laying on an old sack in an outbuilding after spending hours in the field, and I'll show you a happy dog, and a happy pwner...
