    Good Morning All,

    I've not been about to much in the passed week as work & Charlie have kept me busy, especially the latter ???

    Well Charlie is doing so well & has truly settled in & found his feet. He is just so adorable & fun to have around even when he's up to know good ;)

    Training progress: It's going really well & Charlie sits without command. He can now lay down, roll onto his back, sit up when asked & he has just started to give a paw ;D
    Toilet training: Over the moon as he always goes outside for No 2's. Even weeing he heads off to the garden. Just the odd accident in the house but i can count those on one hand & 2 of them where my fault for not letting him out straight away

    Socialising: Charlie is doing well & we have had lots of visitors...he just loves meeting & playing with new friends. He has even been introduced to our family Dachshunds & that went incredibly well which is great news as we dog sit the Dach's. So at some point in time i will be walking 3 ::) ::)

    He's eating like a horse & growing at a rapid rate which i'm pleased about. The only only downside well not for me or Charlie, is the garden. Charlie loves to help Mum when she's not looking!!! ;D He does the weeding & digging. If he doesn't like a plant he just uproots it & throws it to one side...haven't shown him how to re-plant them yet!! ;D ;D ;D He has also taken a keen interest in tasting things...he loves fresh coriander & basil straight from the plant...his breath is amazing ::)

    All in all a fantastic couple of weeks...next week is the big one for us both. Charlie has his final Jab & gets micro-chipped then we are off out into the unknown.... ;D ;D ;D ;D can't wait ;D ;D ::)

    Have a great Sunday everyone...hope the sun shines wherever you are ;)

    Lovely update - so good read about your joy with your new pup.

    Ah, the garden, yes. I used to have a lovely collection of geraniums and lavenders. Charlie can kill a young lavender plant by even thinking about a pee...

    Lovely things are going well.

    Yes, the garden. ......we used to have planted pots.
    To be fair, we probably could again now Lilly is 3+.
    Must put that back on next year's garden to-do list ::)

    Ah he's a brilliant puppy and he's learned lots and is clearly comfortable in his horticultural role!we have had to refit the irrigation system...digging it up was a full time job for conscientious Dexter ;D
