  • Hi 40SM!

    Glad the BD went well - but as for the anniversary OH present to self....should you try to discuss whether he should return the radio? I just think that you've been trying so hard all month that it's a shame to have it undermined by his impulse purchase......

    Anyway, just a thought.....hope you don't mind

    Only solution I have from experience is not to leave them in garden unattended for too long and to provide plenty of things to chew on. I also have to make sure our puppy gets a good walk once a day and he is normally quite well behaved. If he has a bone or something he normally keeps fairly quiet - although he has a tendency to bring in trees...........

    Thanks IMD,

    We HAVE to give him a long walk every day ( actually he has 2 or 3 !) .... you know what springers are like !

    He is a pest constantly asking to go outside , then bringing mud , fences, stones and anything else he can find inside :( . Saying that he is very good at asking to go out and has been house -trained from 10 weeks:), so must not grumble .... but the mess :rotfl::rotfl:

    How are you doing ??

    I'm good thanks! Sounds like my puppy, won't mind so much in the less wet weather but he is not helping his cause with my Husband at the moment as he is ruining his pride and joy :( Springers just love being outside though and in water.......
