Ah! He looks so comfy! I've got one of these dog beds that Alice is growing out of (although I caught Frank curled up in it last night! God knows how) If it's any good to you or you know anyone who wants it, let me know. I don't want to just sling it out.

Tag is clearly now very close to his new girlfriend. You can't split them up now Jenny

Don't throw it out Judy, send it our way, and Ian, I DO NOT DO BOYS!!! ;D My house already feels smaller lately. T.A.G. = "Target and Go". Here's a little Tag film from today. He makes me dizzy ;D He desperately needs to get off lead more often

You need a longer garden ! ;D Mind you, his brakes seem better than Brans who would have had a flat nose squashed up againet the back fence

How much is he enjoying his run around, it will be nice for him when he reliable to go of lead when he can. I was lucky with Belle being an older dog and I think a tad more sensible, but he is a lovely young dog and has lots to learn still. Mind you things could change with Belle she might go back to a puppy like Miss Elly

It definitely makes a big difference when they can go off lead. We've noticed it with Bran. Before we'd have circuits of the garden, but now he may rush into the garden but that's about it. I don't know how people cope with these dogs that are not let off lead; they can't have any garden left. ;D

I'll try and get a video of him tomorrow by the (pond), I say pond loosely; it is a dip in the ground about 8 metres wide that fills up in winter. And today there must have been about 1,000 frogs all jumping around and laying spawn. Tag bent down and sniffed them but just watched them. Tag is frog friendly. I just have to get a video tomorrow. ;D He could well be cat friendly, but when Sofi is doing one at the end of a lead after seeing a cat he joins in.

We met some frogs today And went off lead. I am such a good boy and willing to learn so much. I think I might like obedience or agility ;D

How much frog spawn is in that pond looks a good year for frogs. Just had a look at Tags video how he was enjoying himself. What a good boy for his recall and for a nice sit, can not get Belle to sit at all, I think she finds it uncomfortable. He looks as if he is ready to go to a new home he is coming on lovely.

I have already booked his entrance exams for school At this rate he will have graduated and become a big grown up dog before someone comes along to share their life with him. He likes to creep up on the bed when we have all gone to sleep. I do find out though, when my legs go dead He is a good lad ;D

Lovely video; he's still looking gorgeous. I think I getting Bran to sit at last. It's a slow process though; you say sit and he looks at you, you say sit a few more times, then the back legs seem to wobble a bit and down he goes. Hence the "think he's getting it". God, they're hard work. ;D I probably shouldn't add this because it's bound to jinx things so I'm going to whisper it - Bran's recall is virtually 100% now and to a whistle. I hope Tag finds someone soon, he really is lovely.

Well Tag started school this evening. He is in the first class until his confidence grows. I thought it best to get him booked in and find out how good his brain is. Well, it is bloody good. He heeled, sat, waited, stayed, recalled on lead and loved every dog that was there. He greeted and meeted and everyone at the club loved him too. He is a lovely dog. He has a good brain on him, and a big heart. I was so proud of him tonight, cos he was lesson one and he was better than a lot of them. Way to go little big man. Way to go. ;D

;DWe had a lovely walk with a couple of fellow forum members today. Sticky with her two and Pam with her Grey. Tag was a little gem and so no need for a muzzle. They were all so well behaved and Miss Elly came along for a day out. Ended up in the pub, of course, where Tag said hello to the landlord's dogs and visitors. He has such a big heart and is a soft soppy. Tag has now decided that he definitely would like to go to a home with another dog around please. ;D And now crashed out under the desk. Shush... night night... ;D

Tag is such a lovely dog. Today was his solo off lead. I took him on the school run as usual and stopped at Pishiobury.
What a star. Didn't leave my side but for 20 yards the whole way round and met and greeted every dog with a wag and a little play. One that takes his shine over there is Lucy a greyhound.

Back to dog training again tonight. Only 6 in his class so it was nice. Tag met his friends and was very good. His sit/stay is very good and I can now leave him and walk away a few paces. How much longer, foster mum. 2 minutes Tag Tag especially likes Woody. And we are not allowed to play, but we got a little bored. Tag did a lovely retrieve with the dumbell, but foster daddy was falling asleep and forgot to film it

He is absolutely gorgeous and getting more gorgeous by the day, I can't understand why he's still here. He doesn't seem to have any real issues now, either. If my circumstances were different.....
