    Hmmmm.....

    My friend breeds Rough Collies. Always liked them, fell in love with a male she was having trouble selling. Lots of interest, no sale. Offered him to me as a pet, I said my partner would need to be involved.
    Cue a phone call between the breeder and my partner, and a pic message on my phone at the same time of a very small ball of fur with huge eyes....

    Partner's a softie. Still maintains I stitched him up. Not sure where he got that idea from.... :)

    Once you've got more than 2 dogs another one really doesn't make that much difference! Most I ever had in the house at once was 16 plus a mum and 6 pups :) (only 8 were actually mine though)

    As my first dog was a blue whippet cross I'm a sucker for blueys and haven't been without one since. the current one is on the sofa, laying on his back with legs akimo - hard life!

    So... when you getting this little one then?
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D

    Yeah! That's what I keep saying to OH and is the reason we are now up to 11 fur-babies! LOL! :D
