Hi all,
I'm so excited ...
Truffle has been working really hard on her manners and has her first date coming up on Saturday 27th May. She was too anxious to ask him out herself so she asked me to do it for her. Bless her heart.
The lucky gentleman is my Brothers Gordon Setter Max. While they will probably not actually meet they'll be walking side by side (appropriate distance apart) for the afternoon and will hopefully be crossing each others paths.
Truffle has obviously met other dogs and has been places around other dogs (school, walks etc) but this is the first time out with the sole intention of meeting one specific dog.
A bit about Max ... He's ... an idiot. Very tall, lanky purebred Gordon. Lovely dog but very clumbsy. He was very hyperactive as a pup but at 5 years old now he's calmed down a lot. He lives with his friend Shelby a 7 year old female kelpie cross rescue. She's very grumpy and beats him in line occasionally. Max is very sweet and very submissive. Max actually just lost a toe from cancer (doesn't appear to have spread anywhere) but has just got back on with life as if nothing ever happened. He is calm around other dogs now so hopefully this works out well.
If the first date doesn't end in tears they'll be meeting every Saturday at 11am at the Hackham footy club.
I'll try to get some photos of the dogs next weekend.
Wish us luck!
Pete.
