Hmm that is the one thing I am worried about with Toby (by this time next week we will be collecting him ) - I don't have a huge wardrobe of clothes to start with

Have you not got him loads of chews and toys...I still have to give Tess lots of stuff to chew or she'll chew everything in sight..and..she's 2 !!!!
DH and DD are on about getting another rottweiler pup when Toby(my old dog goes to doggy heaven..god help me)..so you both have my sympathies..lol

He's got chews, squeaky toys, just has mad moments, then comes back, wants picking up and then gives lots of kisses.

Hes so loveing, and knows how to get the fuss, but when hes bout to have !!!!!! mode, he opens his eyes wides and gives a sly look. He's not nipping as much, got asked this morning had I self-harmed, trying to explain its the puppy!!

Hes so funny with other dogs, one of the cleaners on the site had brought her spaniel to work, he pulled on the lead, Bailey, was jumping in dads arms, took him to the other dog, they kissed each other. He doesn't bother about dogs just spaniels he wants to kiss xx
