New arrival, Misty

Well last night having seen an advert online (and after checking the local dogs home didn't have any suitable dogs) I went to see misty. Her owner had bought her on a whim about 10 days ago and soon realised that she was unable to take care of her. No need to make comments on that the girl was clearly feeling very guilty. I and daughter (11) fell in love with Misty there and then and thought she would make a super companion for Rosie my 2 year old Chocolate Lab, so she came home with us.

Misty is a Labrador cross Cocker Spaniel 15 weeks old and I'm trying to establish what training, if any, she has had. I'm getting an occasional sit and down but I am not so sure that she knows the words or whether its my movements which are prompting hers.

I doubt she came from a breeder, more likely 2 gun dogs that had a liaison, the girl had seen both parents (the Cocker must have stood on a box) and was told that Misty had been vaccinated but didn't receive any vet cards so on advice from my vet she is having her jabs (maybe again, maybe not) on Wednesday.

Here is a pic of her and Rosie in my office the lucky girls get to come to work with me albeit they have to be on a lunge in case someone dog unfriendly person (aka wierdo) comes in.



I suspect I shall be sleeping downstairs again tonight, as she was crying if left alone last night. Only to be expected as she settles in though.

What a lovely picture of Rosie and little Misty! I hope that Misty settles in quickly and that she and Rosie become great pals!

Oh bless. once she gets used to your other dog for company she will be ok. She is lovely, They both are.

what a sweetheart!

Lovely photos of both of your dogs How lucky they are to be able to come to work with you

Oh Nic they are gorgeous

Lovely picture, Misty is so sweet, & Rosie is gorgeous.

I'm not surprised you and your daughter fell in love with Misty .......... she is adorable That's a lovely photo of your girl Rosie too. How fantastic that they can go to work with you, its a shame more companies don't allow it. Hopefully Rosie and Misty will be the best of friends. Keep the photos coming
