Aww :love: she was gorgeous:love:

She was a lovely girl, despite being a total nightmare for the first year of her life. She literally ate our house :shock: Entirely my fault though, she was a Border Collie X from a working dog lineage. We were completely unprepared for her needs.

I've never had a dog that has not tested me for the first year [emoji38] puppy blues are a real thing [emoji38] and puppies are a nightmare [emoji38][emoji38] Altho I've never owned smaller breeds or low energy ones (if they exist, idk[emoji38])

That's the worst bit about getting a pup for me, knowing I'll love it and do anything for it, but also feel like a complete failure and wanna get rid for at least 6 months - 1 year, [emoji38] and I've found that people don't understand this feeling.. So maybe it's just me..

She was gorgeous btw :) was she good with bunnies? :)

Graciee - totally agree about the puppy thing. So why do I keep fostering 4-6 month old lurchers, go through the horrible puppy stage, then let them go to a forever home when they are just about to grow out of it?

JJ - Love the pic of Beatrice & Gemma.

Because you just do! Fact! :love:
 
Gemma was lovely, Jane. :love:

I don't think people realise just how much exercise these intelligent dogs need: I had friends with one and it ended extremely sadly.

Yea I think a lot of first time dog owners get a shock, then feel awful! Like they hate their puppy or something [emoji38] I'm always saying to people, it passes, I know it doesn't feel like it.. And you won't believe me.. But it'll pass, and it'll all be worth it [emoji38]

Pups are a PITA [emoji38] I must be mad to be considering a maligator pup [emoji38]

Lurchers are such lovely dogs [emoji7][emoji7] but yea you get the worst bit [emoji38][emoji38] at least it means they'll probably be in their forever homes tho :)
