I just read this thread from end to end and loved it (yes I should be working)! Amazing, thanks @Boogie
Having never had much dog experience myself, how can you tell that Keir is Tatze's favourite? What makes him more special than the other pups for her?
Sorry, I worded it confusingly. Tatze has the same attitude to them all ‘they come and they go’. She really adores Zaba, my friend’s dog, who she spends a lot of time with as we look after each other’s dogs for holidays - and we have to be careful not to mention his name or she spends the day looking for him. The pups leaving hasn’t affected her at all. It’s me that will miss this one more than any other. I’m heartbroken with every one and never forget them - but I’ve fallen for Keir even more so. .
Oh don't, it's like my son and daughter standing along side me, peering down and saying "oh, Mum, aren't you short! They are beautiful.
