Well for the past 2 weeks Phoebe has been having a holiday romance with a rottie that has been on a barge on our section on the canal. His back legs have gone so hes on a wheelie frame. She is so nice with him and gentle so she must know she cant rough house with him. Every morning she gets on his boat for a quick hello and he tags along with us for 5 mins or so of our walk. This morning as we arrive on canal his boat goes past us Phoebe darts for it and it takes me and my hubby to stop us all going in the canal. She then howled. It was the saddest thing ild ever seen. The boat pulled over to let them have one last walk and then was gone. In all the drama of it i didnt think to take their number or even ask if they live far. So Phoebe and Bruno are no more and Phoebe has been ok but think we may have a problem in the morning when shes looking for his boat (this has happened before with the black pudding lady, she looked for at least a week for that boat once it had gone)
Poor Phoebe ... my heart goes out to her for the the loss of her friend. I know how miserable Georgina was after little Chloe died, and although I'd more or less decided I wasn't going to have another dog, she was so unhappy I soon relented and as a result am now mum to Gwylim. More work for me but worth it as she's the happiest girl in the world having a little brother to play with!
Oh poor Phoebe. That is so sad Katie. Given the 4 mph speed that narrowboats travel at, and the number of locks in Cheshire, there's a good chance you could catch up with them!
Oh, I think that's so sad - poor Phoebe. I hope she doesn't pine for too long. What she needs is something like a glamorous Afghan Hound to sweep her off her feet.
Well so save any searching we have avoided the canal since Bruno left. Phoebes so weird with other dogs that she normally doesnt get to have a dog friend. Her only other friend is Zues the sharpi x springer but his mummy is soooooo busy we dont get to see him very often. If she could just calm down she could have so many dog friends but 8 years of trying and got nowhere with that one and kinda gave up a long time ago
Eddie's best friend is a Springer. I love them, and think they are usually a good breed with difficult to socialise dogs - always ready for a game, but totally unphased by a rebuttal.
hes great, hes my trainer friends dog. when shes all giddy and head butting him, he just ignores her and wont start playing till she calms down
Like Springers, most Shar-Pei are good with difficult dogs. I've seen both Georgina and M'boi surrounded by a group of rowdy dogs and ignore them completely. Georgie's very selective about who she plays with ... it took two days and lots of persuasion on Gwylim's part before she deigned to play with him but once he'd learnt the rules .. according to HRH she invited him to play and allowed him to jump all over her.
Sorry for Phoebe's loss. One thing I am thankful for is Mouse has quite a few dog friends he gets to visit and romp with.
