Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

After years of planning; buying a dog-friendly house, trading in my lovely fast car for a bargey Volvo :-\, changing work patterns etc... we're FINALLY picking up our first family dog - 8 week old black boy Bryn on Friday (8am sharp).

The last 4 weeks since choosing him have been agony but we're nearly there. Just a final few bits, pack the car to go and collect him. Can't wait! We have 3 weeks at home to settle him in and get started on some socialisation.

Really great forum - I'm sure we will be back here a lot. I'll post some pics later.

Cheers
Chris

My previous "love" was a BMW M3 coupe. Barely fitted a person in the back letalone a dog crate! The volvo is certainly a direction change 8)

 

Re: Hello from Bryn!

Oh Bryn, you lucky pup! A new car just for you! Make sure you get it all dog-smelly as soon as possible so everybody knows it's yours.... :

I've got one of those. It's more a shed than a barge though. I think Volvo do them in both.

Re: Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

Hi and welcome - what a cutesome pup!

We also had to wait for a pup until we had done the car, house, job, (even country!) change ;D Actually we were always going to do those things anyway and a dog became part of the master plan

 

Re: Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

Oh Bryn, you're a sweetie!
Where do you live? With a name like Bryn, are you here in Wales?

 

Re: Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

We're in Lisvane, Cardiff. Plenty of space for walkies!

 

Re: Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

what a sweetheart - welcome!!

 

Re: Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

What a poppet! Much better than a sports car.

 

Re: Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

Liking the green collar - on the look out for one of those myself. Bryn looks lovely, bet the hours til Friday am drag by! Good luck with him

 

Re: Hello from Bryn (in South Wales)

Lovely! We're between Newport and Chepstow, near Penhow.

Recently there have been a few of us getting together for labrador walkies round the Wye Valley - they've been great fun. Maybe too far away for you, but they've been wonderful for getting Pongo nicely socialised with other dogs! Maybe when Bryn is a wee bit older?
