and neighbours who hate you :- "
Well Archer sure looks happy and content to me P!! :wub: :wub: :wub:peony said:billyboy45 said:
HHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Not quite sure how to take that comment Billygoat :wacko: , but thanks for the comments regarding his condition. :thumbsup:
I will freely admit that I have had times when I wondered if I and MY environment were suitable for Archer, particularly when he was such a difficult pup to rear and so it did cross my mind that maybe another family might suit him better . You cant have forgotten how for the first few months all he did was shit in his bed and then make a point of sleeping in it; of how any food he ate made a reappearance, liquid form, within the hour; of how he woke the entire household ( and street ) at 4.30am every morning, with his howling???? From December to July is a long time with reduced sleep
I did persevere, I have stuck it out and yes , at the moment, Archer has a hopefully long and happy future with me. BUT if for any reason I feel Archer would benefit from a situation and lifestyle, other than mine, I wouldnt hesitate to consider looking for somewhere I felt he would be better suited. At the end of the day I feel the dogs happiness/welfare is of paramount importance and I will do all in my power to achieve that.
Over the months I have got the impression that you havent been happy with the way I have brought the puppy up and for that , I am sorry. I know though, that I have done all that I can to get to grips with Archer and so feel no guilt.
Its not just because Archer now seems to be on the right track ( excuse the pun) with his racing/showing,that I have suddenly decided to keep him; yes, his doing well in whatever sphere is brilliant, but my aim is to have a happy, healthy, well adjusted, pleasure to be with dog, which, up until lately, he certainly wasnt.
Anyway, have a lovely day and enjoy this flower I photographed whilst out with the dogs last night
and I hope that yours are well on their way to recovery from their variety of injuries :luck: :thumbsup:
I havent once said that i was'nt happy about the way you were bringing him up .I did say one time that he was a bit thin on it,as he was alway's lighter than his sibling's,especialy as his puppy name used to be chubby,as he was so heavy.But then so would we have been,(lighter)if we had the scour,24/7.I did alway's say that it was better to feed the natural way though,and now that you are,it's paying divident's .Alway's recon though,that you were making out that i had sold you a pup who had severe fault's in his early rearing and that it was all down to me,those problem's he had about dirtying his bed and that.You were alway's going on about thing's that were wrong with him,and taking him to the vet's for this and for that.It made me feel so guilty,about summit that was clearly not my fault.Anyway ,that's all behind him now.I was alway's waiting for the call from you ,demending that i took him back,as there was so much going on with him.Then when the thing was said about the inooculation's,well that was the end of a friendly phone relationship for a while.Guess we all got it wrong at time's.Remember,you did'nt get the only one ,who was giving problem's,and just like kid's,some of them can go a bit wrong,and do you're head in.Im glad now,that he's coming on a treat ,at last.All the best with him in the future.I sinserely hope he make's the grade,and become's a racing Champ. ...Billy...peony said:billyboy45 said:
