Buster & Hairy

Hi,
 
Now that I have two beautiful dogs from Feilding SPCA I thought I would let you know how they are getting on. Buster the black Labrador retriever came to live with me just before Christmas 2006 and is an absolute pleasure to be with. He has settled in brilliantly and has learnt lots of new jobs like bringing in the mail and carrying the horses' feed bucket in from the paddock when they have finished their feeds. He is most definitely a retriever by nature as well as by name! He is also always ready with a 'present' of a shoe or anything else that he can spot to greet you with when you get home!
 
Hairy McLary (originally 'Chase' a Tibetan x Fox terrier) came to live with Buster and me in October 2007 and is also settling in well. He is only one year old compared to Buster's seven but you would think that they were both puppies the amount that they play together! They get on brilliantly (I took Buster back to the SPCA to 'choose' his new friend and that seems to have been a good move!) and snuggle up together in their new double bed, as you can see in the photo. We have been doing lots of training with wee Hairy and he is gradually learning 'the rules'. To start with he was a little surprised that it was not OK to jump up on the table, sofas and beds but he seems to have the hang of it all now and generally manages to keep his feet on the floor!
 
Thank you so much for these two wonderful friends.
 
Warm regards,
 
Catherine
