She even managed the station steps.

Yes totally. It's bit frustrating as the toilet training seem sto have gone backwards in the last week or so but we'll get on top of it I'm sure. To be fair, this morning's incident was weather affected. It was absolutley hammering down outside and understandably, 2kg pup wasn't keen to go out in the cold and wet and got in a bit of a state confused between needing to poop and being worried about going out. Hopefully that will resolve itself as she gets bigger and more confident about being outside.

Just popped into let you know that Margot is officially the best dog in the world, having aced her first walk out on the lead to town and back. She has also nailed "bring it back", "drop it", and "sit". She actually nuges the ball/toy towards me then sits up doing an adorable little paw raise when asking for a treat in return for her obediance. Honestly, I'm so proud it's ridiculous.
I should say that it is true that for a while this morning she was the worst dog (after she shit in the utility room, then the kitchen then the living room, then pissed all over the place while I busy cleaning up the shit) but I now realise that this was only a blip and she is in fact, the goodest girl.

Such a dude. Barrie I mean.

Poor thing. I love reading about animls finding their homes tho. I'm a total softie for this stuff.

Love it. I really wanted a goofy lollopy leaning-cuddle rescue hound, but the missus was wary of potential latent behavioural issues with us having young kids. Plus our house just isn't set up for a bigger dog.
Margot news: After three days of her being fucking mental - i googled the medication and found it's colloquially known as "puppy cocaine". I guess I should have realised when she started chain smoking and pitching me incoherent business plans for a restaurant that only sells treats.
Anyway, she had the last dose yesterday morning and by last night, was back to her normal lovely self.
About to experiment with leaving her at home on her own for 90mins while i go to a thing at the kid's school.

I'm hoping it's this. And that it'll pass. It's like a switch has flipped. She suddently become hyperactive, anxious, barking, yelping and growling for attention but then running away when approached. She's gone manic and won't settle to sleep in the day. She looks exhausted and just generally seems really agitated and occasionally distressed.
She used to take herself off to chew something or have a nap after a few minutes of being ignored, but as of yesterday afternoon she just yowls and barks and growls and jumps up and down, then scarpers when you try to come near her.
It's a tad trying.

So pup had second jab, monthly worm treatment and was microchipped this morning. She was fine for a few hours but this afternoon started barking incessantly and following my wife about, but runs away when she tries to pick her up. Microchip making her sore?
-
Well she may look cute, but she's got BUMWORMS again and has suddenly decided that she likes eating her own worm-infested shit given half a chance. So that's nice.
Oh and on Saturday - after noticing her itching and whimpering, then spoting a little white protrusion- I pulled a two foot tapeworm out her butt. She's only a foot long in total. I felt properly ill after that. Honestly, so horrific.
She got dosed when we got her but it seems to have worn off. Off to the vets for all of the medicines tomorrow.

I think you may be right.
-
Hehe - stongly identify.
-
Thanks! Def next on the list. Followed by "don't yowl and bark at me when i'm eating - you're not allowed the spicy people food. " amongst many others.
-
Look at this dopey smirk.
-
These look great. I have a paid of UL6s of a similar vintage which I love. would love to take these too but i don't erally have space for them.
-
Second jab tomorrow then we can finally hit the great outdoors. Really looking fwd to finally being able to get out and about with Margo. She's definitley ready for it.
-
Is there any point is attempting to teach a (part) terrier to "drop it"?
-
That's a pretty fuckin' cool thinline. Also "cosmetic flaws" = character. Who wants a boxfresh guitar? Not me.
-
Keep at it Joe!
I'm loving the clothes actually fitting again thing. Swaggering about in denim that has been on the "i'll never fit in that again" pile. Good vibes.

Oh - and i found this weird old Arbiter Slave 150 power-amp head from 1970 on facebay. Have no need for it but it's chonky and cheap. Serious iron and it has six (six!) 1970's mullard EL34s in it - which means if it works (as the ad claims) it's worth four times the asking price in valves alone. Will report back shortly
