hi there, my name is stacey im 31 and live in dover kent. i have a chesapeake x lab called grace who is 2 and a half. she is my life and soul ive had her from 7 weeks old. a bit about grace.... i had my old dog of 15 years pts sadly and decided very soon that i couldnt have a house without a dog, so as soon as my friend said she had some chessie x lab puppies due i thought it was time to look when they were born. she had a litter of 11! so i trundled over to "just look" and put a deposit there and then on one of 3 girls. went to see her as she grew and took her home at just over 7 weeks old. the day she came home we have enjoyed lots of stuff together, including, swimming, really long walks, horse riding (i have 2 horses and she rides beside me out hacking) agility which we started last april, weve done 2 paws in the park splash and grab which this year she came 6th, been camping twice to the new forest and last year she had her picture in papers and a magazine (see sig pic) for saving her buddy aces life by donating blood that was a match to save him from rat poisoning! so as you can tell shes a very special girl! i love her to bits and just wanted to share her with you guys who know how much our babies mean to us! just a few more pics sorry for the mountain of pics!
Hi Stacey! Welcome to you and Grace. What lovely photos, she certainly is a special dog. Good to have you here, and congratulations on mastering the photo-posting! jac and Lilly x (up North in Scotland)
thanks guys, just found one of the newspaper articles from her blood donation stories if you fancy a read http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/facebook-saves-poisoned-dogs-life-5779083 luckily i am a member of horse and hound forum so its the same to post pics on there, didnt take me long
Welcome to you and Grace, my daughter is also Grace What a beautiful special and very active girl you have, you both clearly enjoy being together. I have Hattie 8 years old and our rescue boy Charlie 5 years old. Enjoy the forum! Helen x
A very lovely and special girl. I love the ripple along her back I was a bit confused until I saw your pictures. You said you have two horses and she rides beside you when you go hacking. I had images of her sat in the saddle of your other horse
Hi and welcome from me and my 7 month old lab boy, Dexter, also from Kent. Great photos, I was thinking I'd see Grace in some special sort of doggy bag on the horse with you, Ha ha ha. How fantastic that Grace was a match and could save her friends life.
Hi there, Lovely to read all about Grace,I can tell you think the world of her and she has a super life with you,what a lucky girl x I'm glad Ace made a full recovery too. We lives in Dubai and Dexter is 3,he is our first dog and we love him to bits too.....even the mischief bits! best Wishes Angela
