URGENT - MARLEY IN SOUTHAMPTON - RESERVED

[farrier]

Hi - When I saw Marley yesterday he was fine. Very happy to meet my dogs. We will be meeting regularly to help Bex socialise him. However, she is not new to lurchers and is a lovley person. She will keep trying to get pictures on so keep checking. I am so sorry for the decision you had to make, it must have been very hard. At least you know he isn't pining and is being treated well.

Thanks for the update! Marley loves other dogs and people and gets so very excited when he meets them. So hope all goes well and thanks for helping Bex with him. Iane x

Poor Bex has tried to upload, but has sent me these three.
They are both having fun.

He has a spare tyre just like me In all seriousness he looks so happy and content ... Iane will love seeing the photo's .... i had to re home a dog about 12 years ago and it really is horrible, but i did it for all the right reasons and Iane did too ... it gets easier with time when you can watch their progress

He is just gorgeous and I'm so glad he's settling in well with Bex. ;D ;D ;D
I'm sure we'll be meeting up for walkies again soon.

Thank you so much for the photos. Am so glad he was allowed to take all his toys with him. He found that tyre out on a walk one night in the park and carried it alll the way home. It has been his fave ever since! Is that a horse carriage I can see in one of the pics? If so, how is he getting on with the horses?

[Romi]

It is indeed Iane.
Bex has a rescued Shetland pony. I didn't get to meet it on sunday, but I will try to find out how they're getting on. Its probably not much bigger than Marley!
I hope you are feeling ok. You are one brave lady and rest assured you have done the right thing for Marley. He is going to have a wonderful life. ;D ;D ;D

[iane]

He was always fine in the New Forest with the ponies. Curious but respectful, so I am sure he will be fine with Bex's pony. We still find ourselves calling him in the house. Guess it will take a while! But Marley looks content in the photos and that is all that matters right now.

We met up with Bex and Marley this afternoon. Marley went off lead - no trouble. All dogs got on well. Marley really liked Lottie and she runs like the wind, so very tired dogs. His recall is super for such a young man. Have got a few pics, but not a very good day - will keep trying.

Great photos! He is a beautiful boy and looks like he is having fun.

Thanks Joy. Has Bex managed to register as a member yet?
Lottie is looking soooooo lovely.

[iane]

oh thank you. It's the " I am exhausted look"! i went to puppy classes wit him as soon as he had his vax and yes, his re-call is good - providing he doensn't find something to play with like a water bottle or dog. He will sit and wait (even for a tin of sardines - his fave) and patiently "leave it"!. so miss him :-(

[iane]

hello! How is Marley doing?

[Mimsmum]

Hi Iane,
You will have to give Bex some time to get to grips with computing, with uploading photos and posting on the forum.
She is new to all this and at the moment adjusting to having a young dog in her life. He's fine. We know how much you are worrying, but honestly there is absolutely no need. Once a dog comes into SLR it is family to us all and we all rally round for fosters, potential adopters and adopters.

[iane]

Really don't mean to be pushy :-( Am just wondering every waking moment what Marley does, if he had a good day, eating his dinner, sleeping ok.................... Just wish i could find the switch to swith the thoughts off! Am looking forward to Bex joining this forum. If only I had taught Marley how to use the internet, he could chat to me! :-)

[Mimsmum]

I know

Hi I know Bex is away for the weekend - Marley is going along, they have a camper van. I am seeing her for a walk on Tuesday so will get more pics then. Jill (Lotties Mum) saw them on Friday and they were fine.
