It doesn't take much.

............ to get another dog!  Thursday afternoon we went to the local animal rescue & found Dillon the Dobermann.  We collect him tomorrow & I'll have to get some photos.  He's underweight but quick to learn & seems reasonably obedient so we'll see.  14 months old & he hasn't had his tail docked either so his mood is easy to judge, lovely eyes & so happy to be with people.   Meanwhile Simba , my daughter's dog has been staying while they move house.  She wants to play with the cat but he is having none of it, growls worse than a dog!!
