Exactly Chalky..

Do you think he has wanting something eyes or puppy dog eyes?

I have looked after this one several times now.

The owner has just qualified as a district nurse and has lost her routine which means the mutt is on his own too often. I could take him to work some days too.

Looks a goer to me as I can't resist lol

More like 'I like crapping in my owners slippers whist they are at work' kind of eyes,I'm suspecting that the nurse isn't being entirely honest about him gaz

I would have it if i could.
it looks cute.
Is it a boy or a bitch?

[gaz1959]

Bloody hell coco I never thought of that - thanks for the tip off

It's a boy Tricky and that pic I took is very flattering I must admit

I better add he's called Theo after Theo Walcott lol

When I was looking after him in the past I took him over the park and let him off the lead to see how he behaved. He was OK until we got to the lake. He chased after some ducks. The lake was still and had a film of green algi around the edge about 3m wide.

I said to her outdoors that I wasn't sure these type of dogs could swim.

At that moment the ducks ran into the lake with Theo running after them. I think he thought the algi was grass.

Anyway he soon realised and managed to turn round back towards the bank and then sunk. He was about 1m out and I could see him just srood there looking up with tiny bubbles coming out of his nose.

I had to reach in and pull him out. (this was the first time we had had him lol)

I googled it when I got back and sure enough these solid dogs can't float :-O

We had a bulldog when i was a kid and he hated water.
But when we had him castrated and his testosterone level went down he was just a big softie.

We have had an extraordinary meeting of the family just now and the upshot is that providing he gets the snip (ouch) we ill take him on :-)
