I Have Found My Puppy I Was Looking For! Yippee!

I have had many dogs and they were usually rescued. My last one, and my best friend, went to Heaven 2 years ago where he's waiting for me to join him. We now have our cat, Morgana, (she's my avatar) she was rescued when some ppl my Niece knew moved away and left her alone at just a few weeks old. She was so skinny and tiny when we got her but with lots of love and attention she's turned into a beautiful cat on the outside and she's always been beautiful cat on the inside. I don't know what I'd do without her. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Woo Hoo! REggies was mostly cocker spaniel...but one quarter springer....he was absolutely the best dog. I am so excited for you and your son! They will grow up together and be best friends!

Oh how beautiful, all dogs are beautiful but I must be honest I love spaniels, they are such gentle dogs, i hope you have many years of fun and love with you new puppy, in my last few weeks of dog sitting i bought a new lead as I think I will continue walking him as i am having so much fun but this lead is a good thought for you maybe, it has metal loos and a clasp on each end which means I can tur it into a long lead, short lead, have two dogs on it or wrap the leqad around a pole when i go int a shop, I think a great idea for dog owners...

my four legged friend, Frost, I recieved by finding a great breeder and waiting for the right time. LOL!! My favorite breed is a Siberian Husky . I think the mom is beautiful.

Those are great dogs! I'm happy for you. I have a puggle and just adore him. But my favorite breed is Rottweilers. They are big and really sweet dogs if trained properly. They are protective and I like that about them. I'll be getting one shortly I hope! :)

Aw she looks beautiful! sounds like it was fate that you were to end up with one of these little pups! I've never had a dog, but if i was to have one i'd get a king charles cavalier, they are usually really friendly, and not too big, am a bit nervous of dogs so i couldn't have a big one! lol I have a cat and i got him from the rspca, i knew as soon as i saw him that i had to have him, he was running up the wire cage to look at the people walking past outside, he'd been there months, nobody wanted him because he was a big fat cat and they all wanted kittens - i couldn't be without him now, the only man i can rely on in my life!! lol bet you're so excited, hope you manage to choose one, i bet you'll want to take them all home!! xxx

Hi Ellie...A young friend of mine stole my Lucy to give to me. The boyfriend of a girl my friend worked with had got her from a shelter before Christmas. He lived with a group of young people in a house near a main 5 ways intersection. Lucy was Cassy then and aloud to do as she liked (no discipline or training) and when she was naughty or did something wrong, she was kicked or thrown outside. She would have been a very young puppy we figured out. Anyway, the novelty of the og must have worn off because Lucy was only getting fed weetbix by the girlfriend when she went to visit. My young friend drove passed the house daily and would often see Lucy out near the road. Lisa rang me and told me about the pup and I said I would take her if they didn't want her. Like you, I had been looking for another dog for months and having no luck. Meanwhile, the girlfriend ended up in hospital having her wisdom teeth removed. Lisa was worried the pup might be starving so we decided she would just go and get her. That's what happened. Lucy was very, very hungry when Lisa grabbed her and we got her the next day. She was skittish and nervous. She eats like a horse and loves to play ball. She is not at all aggressive and is still afraid if she is yelled at. She seems to prefer men to me ....she will go and be friendly with a guy rather than be loyal to me even though I look after her and feed and groom her. I've managed to train her to "come" and "sit" but she won't "stay" and she will keep going if she gets out of the yard and intent on sniffing out an adventure. I trained her to walk on a lead with a halti and she doesn't need it now. She loves going in the car and hates being tied up. If I chain her she gets in a tangle so she cannot move. I've never mistreated her but whatever happened to her before we got her had some strong effects on her. I love most dogs, not fighting dogs. I've never heard of a soringer spaniel...did you mean "springer" spaniel? They are lovely looking dogs. Good luck with yours.xx

How fantastic Ellie - I know how excited you must be and if the pup is as gorgeous as the mum then she/he will be lovely! I have had a few dogs in my life, one I inherited from my Mum , he was a rescue dog another we got from a friends litter and he was brilliant! Now my four legged friend is feline rather than canine and is a recue cat! We got her at 6 weeks old, she had been hand reared after being abandoned in a bin liner with her brother and sister a mile away from the SSPCA centre. She is 10 now - my goodness the time goes quickly! I can't wait to hear all about the pup you choose and how they settle in! Huggles! xxx

Hi Ellie. The mother dog looks gorgeous so I can imagine what your dear little puppy will look like. You have time to think whether you want a female or a male puppy and buy equipment like a bed and feeding bowls. Springer Spaniels are a lovely breed, usually great around children and fairly easy to train. There are a few of them that walk along the path near my home. Your son will soon be loving towards your new dog so that will be fantastic. I left work on Friday evening in Kent and traveled up to Lancashire where I stayed in a bed and breakfast. On Saturday I got a taxi out to a Poodle breeder. I saw the mother dog and she had a black and white marble effect sort of coat. Wow! Then I got to hold my adorable little puppy, a white with black patches little bundle of joy. I took Secret Party Circle home in a box after paying £395. I ended up keeping that name because it suits him so much. That was in November 2004. In August 2005 we moved to North Somerset. I got up really early to get from North Somerset to Essex in one day. I met the breeder, the mother dog and my new puppy at a train station. She was a tiny black poodle. I paid the lady £450 and took my little beautiful puppy home to meet Secret. At first they sat at opposite ends of my sofa then they became best friends. I decided to call her Magic May Flower. My dogs are Miniature Poodles and I have many favorite breeds like all Poodles, Red Setters and Cocker Spaniels. Take care. Maxine.

Good morning ellie, Whenever we had our four legged friends, they someone have showed up at our house, or found them. The only we actually got at the animal shelter was Frosty. It's good to get a pet from the animal shelter, first because they can fixed and you don't have to worry about the having their own pups/kittens. That's nice of you go saved a pup. I myself love cats, they take care of themselves, and you don't really have to worry much, they know where to use the restroom. I can't see his pic, but will look for it on the main site.

I am glad that you found what you were looking for! Enjoy the puppy. It will take a lot of caring to get it to become a dog. It will teach your son some responsibility.

Hey there ellie! Congratulations on finding a puppy. The first dog I had was found by my 12 year old son who was around 9 or 10 at the time. Being that she was found, we didn't know the breed but it was a toy dog (small breed). We had her for 2 weeks and then one day she was hit by a car and you would have thought that it was one of my children because I cried so much. I fell in love with Peaches (that's what we named her) instantly. The second dog we had was given to us by my brother and it was a hound/rotweiler mix. Her name is Scrappy, named by my 12 year old. We had her since she was a couple of months old but being that we aren't really supposed to have dogs in the complex where I live, we had to give her up because of her loud bark. The neighbors were complaining about her. Now that was harder than Peaches because we had her longer. Now we have a male dog by the name of Oreo, named by my 13 year old son and he is a small toy dog who barely barks but when he does, it's not too loud. They say 3 strikes you're out or 3 times the charm so we'll see. Either way, this is the last dog that I will get. Take care ellie and God Bless!

Our dog is a Border Collie.She is a very smart and good dog.My husband got her from a friend.She's been with him for 10 years now and definitely she's always a part of our family.

New here to Mylot & thought what a great discussion to start with...PUPPIES! Congratulations on the new puppy...it seems it was definitely meant to be for you and your family. And I'm so happy you are rescuing a little critter - sometimes you find the best "friends" through a simple rescue. We have 2 labrador retrievers & 2 mini dachshunds. My male lab was a Mother's Day gift from my family & our female doxie was given to me 4 years ago by my sister-in-law from her dog's first litter. The two seemed like Mutt & Jeff and were inseparable. My female lab was given to us 3 years ago from a family member that could no longer keep her because she is so energetic & they had a sick baby at home. And lastly came my male doxie...another gift from my sister-in-law's second litter almost 2 years ago. (I can't say no to those eyes) Since I have 2 of each kind and have been raised with dogs (all breeds) since being in the womb, I would still pick the Labrador Retriever as my favorite breed...loyal, loving, and BIG! My sister has spaniels & they are just as sweet as my labs...love 'em and they'll love ya back a million times over! Good luck with your new addition!

I'm so glad you finally will have the new addition to your home. It was wortht the wait and now one that needs you will have a loving home.

Congratulations, Ellie!! So, I don't have a parcel a dog for you, after all!! I was really looking around for puppies!! Yup Mamma Dog is very cute. One of the stray b1tches around here is pregno too. And yes, I do have a dog, and you already know a lot about her. ;) I guess I told you. Cheers and happy mylotting

The picture of the dog is so adorable! It will be so fun to get a new puppy! Aren't you the lucky one? Glad you find this opportunity. I do not have any pets, except for all our plants and flowers outdoors (guess they don't count). Anyhoo, my family had a dog when I was a child, a beagle. And it was so much fun to play with. Queenie was a very sweet dog. I'm not sure what my favorite dog breed would be now, but labradors, just from what I've read about them, would probably be at the top of the list. Also, I like those dogs that have alot of hair hanging in their faces and are quite large, a St. Bernard, I think it's called. I wouldn't want to own one, though, because I don't want to take care of a dog at this time in my life. But for you, it sounds fabulous!

I was 17 when I first saw this tiny puppy roaming the streets, I knew instantly it was a stray and I tried to befriend it, however it was very scared and run off. I did not see it again for a fair few weeks after that and when I next bumped into it I saw a man being really cruel to it. He was throwing house bricks at it, it was only a pup and it did not deserve to be treated like that. I kicked off at him and told him I would throw housebricks at him, see how he liked it. I told him that I would get the dog off his property. Basically his dog had puppies, he did not want them and threw them out on the streets only one had found its way back to its Mum but he would not let it near. I was pregnant at the time and I stood out in the rain all day trying to win that pups trust, it took me hours, I would not move for food,drink or nothing. Eventually I finally managed to get its interest, cautiously it came to me and I touched the top of its head and that was it, we were best friends. It was a female and it was a rottweiler crossed with a labrador and alsation, she was beautiful and I went through hell to keep that dog! But I did and we were together for 11 years, she had to be put down about 6 years ago now. I will never have another dog but I will never forget her.

Hi I can't see the pic you say you have uploaded, but that's OK. I don't currently have a dog, but we do have a cat ... and 3 kids (animals in their own right! lol). I'm glad you have finally found a pup and it sounds as if he will be joining a happy home where he will have a great life. All the best Violetdreams

Momma is a great looking dog. I would love to take her, but I'm not in the UK. Her puppies will be beautiful. I know it's hard to wait for the puppy to come home, especially for your son. This would be a good time to buy dog care books for kids and help your son learn all about the responsibility of having a dog in the family. Kids love to learn. He can be the kid dog expert of the neighborhood. You can also keep him busy and make it easier for him to wait for puppy to come home, by taking him to the pet supply store ever week to pick out something the puppy needs, like a bed, dishes, leash, collar etc,.
