Hi, Pom now down under! Empty Hi, Pom now down under!

Post by pauldw501 Sat Jun 14 2014, 05:09

Hi everyone ... Smile

I'm originally from London but now live the rest of my years down under in Brisbane, Australia.
I've been living here with my partner, 2 kids for just over 8 years now.

We brought our beloved 'Max' over form the UK, but unfortunately lost him to cancer a year or so ago ... Sad ... he was 11.5 years old and prior to the cancer was as fit as a fiddle!  Max was our first dog together, and took me years to get my OH to consent to getting a Staffy as she was a 'little' scared of them, but once we had him (from 7 weeks) she was sold and loved him to death, we all did! ... Smile

So yeah, the months passed without Max and altho we planned to leave it 2 years before we got another dog, but we just had a void that needed to be filled, and we searched for another Staffy to complete our family.

We viewed 'Duke' and fell in love with him.  He was the only boy from a litter of 4.  We viewed him (and 'Daisy') from about 4 weeks till the 7 when we collected them both.

I say both, as while we was viewing the puppies we considered asking for 2 from the litter, one WAS available at this time so we ended up taking a girl with us too ... Smile

So we have 'Daisy & Duke' now and they're currently 11 months old, we adore them both VERY much, altho TBH we didn't realise how hard it was gonna be with 2 puppies at the start over the one, but then in the same breath, 2 can be easier with certain things, like first few nights were a breeze with 2 for obv reasons, but training is harder.  I foolishly thought one would see the other do something, get a treat, and think "yeah I'll have some of that!", but alas! ...lol

Anyway, just a little about us, I have HEAPS of pics as I always like taking pics of my dog/dogs.

Max, bless his soul!...

Thanks for the welcome ... Smile

Yes Max really was the perfect dog.  He made no noise, never ruined anything, could be left up to 10 hours in the day without ANY probs, he was loved by all, and I guess only fault was he didn't like certain dogs, and jumped up on people, but this was probably our fault.  Well, the jumping anyway.

These ARE prob the best pics I have of Max, but no point showing the worst ... Big Grin

Yeah as I say Max was just perfect, and no trouble around the house. VERY territorial of his garden and would chase the bush turkeys or crows if they landed in HIS garden!

If cancer didn't get him he'd of lived to 15 I reckon. He was the perfect addition to our family and grew up with the kids ... Smile They're both adults now and one of my kids have flown the nest, so Daisy & Duke are very much our babies now ... Smile
