That's fantastic news mate.  So chuffed for you.  Looking forward to seeing the pictures 

Steve 

Thanks Steve

 

I know he's going to change my life, and I will change his. I'm really excited. I have the option to bring him to work with me and I've just taken delivery of a large stair gate to be fitted to my office door.

Well it was nice to get out in the fresh air for a change, unfortunately the light was pants (sorry for resorting to technical terms), and there were not many birds about. Anyway this Goldcrest w

Have you got a name for him, Peter?

Hi Steve

 

His name is Ace - and he is ace. Full of fun, a bit cheeky but very affectionate. He's a big strong lad now, but was bare bones when he arrived from Romania half starved. Its amazing how dogs can still be so loving when they've been treated so badly.

 

I'm really excited about him coming home with me.

He must have had his tail docked over in Romania.  Our dog was docked but he was born just before it was banned in this country.

That's correct Steve. The rescue centre has Dobermans from all over the UK, but also from many other places, current dogs are from Spain, Crete, Romania, Poland and Russia. Most of the dogs, but not all, have docked tails, some of them have the cropped ears a well. 

 

Its a real coincidence - or perhaps not, that some of you may know that I spent seven years as a Director of a children's home in Romania. All of our children had significant disability issues, including learning difficulties, Downs Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. Sadly, the majority of disabled children in Romania were shunned by society, and ended up in "hospitals" and their lives were pretty horrendous. Things are improving slowly but there is much still to be done. 

 

The other coincidence is that my brothers new rescue dog that he adopted last year is from ..................................................Romania! I find that quite profound.

It was meant to be my friend.  I don't believe in God as such but things happen for a reason.

Hi Steve

 

I have spent too many years in a dark place of self imposed exclusiveness, loneliness, chronic depression and self neglect. My new pal and I are going to go places together, as a team. So many nice places to visit - I think I might come and visit you and Lou on your annual holiday next year!

 

Peter and and my new besty.

Get your self a camera and with being out and about with Ace just think of the photo opportunities that will appear.

Out of respect to a mate who sadly died recently here's a picture he took early part o' last year.

 

A brilliant observation - very witty, slightly cruel but probably very true.

 

'Record Collecting - It's The Future' (he said).

 

Rest Easy JW - looking for records without ya will never be the same.

I'm mainly doing the house for my new mate. I would be happy to wander round in a derelict house, pissed, for the not so see able future!

You realise you'll be shedding weight on a daily basis walking Ace around and no doubt you'll have to limit your vodka intake until you get used to each other's schedule.  He'll do you proud Pete, they are wonderful companions.

Been to visit my boy again today - he's put on some needed weight and I'm sure he's taller too. He slipped his halter which makes him a little more manageable to walk - relying on the safety lease meant I kept hold of him but he almost dragged me two miles down the lane. He's a real strong boy now and I was knackered! He just needs to have some certainty in his life, and a constant companion to bond with. Considering how badly his first year and a bit of his life was he's amazingly affectionate. He's a stunning looking boy too now he's being fed properly. Loads of pictures to come.

Wouldn't matter really Steve, they only go out in the dark ... surprised we never saw more of them at nighters, being nocturnal and underground

Now you mention it Martyn. The first badger that I ever seen alive  was on my way to either a Whitchurch or Winsford nighter many years ago. It was running down the verge of the A49 near Cuddington in Cheshire.
