My new rescue dog.. Snoop 🐶

[Vanessa1]

I do love the chickens, I have six . Their names are: Betty-boo, Netty Miri Milly Molly and Daisy. I must admit Betty is our favourite ( don't tell the others) she's always wanted special attention and she does a dance before she goes to bed. The coop was hard to put together and then put next to shed I don't know how hubby and I did it on our own, but we did. We've had them about 3 years now, the eggs are small but they have big yolks. Well done girls

That’s the prettiest coop I have ever seen

Home laid eggs are very special, rich and delicious

 

[Vanessa1]

Snoop has had a couple of great days, he's made friends with the bin man. He's a very friendly guy anyway but he really likes snoop. Snoop likes him very much because he gave him a big biscuit He's adjusted to the new gate Very well, he doesn't try to get through it when I'm cleaning the girls or getting eggs he seems to have grasped very quick that it's become a no go area. Yesterday the three of us decided to go for a long walk to the village shop, it's very up and down.. really gets your heart pumping, it did us all good. Snoop especially loved it. This is the thrill of living in the middle of nowhere. The hedgerows are full of beautiful flowers, it's really uplifting, did the three of us good to get fresh sea air and good exercise for the legs. Hopefully the start of many happy walks to come .

It sounds lovely I guess you're still having nice weather then! I'm envious as it's grey, chilly and rainy here.

The past two days were lovely, sunshine and quite warm but today has been grey with sea mist so not so good! Ness

Snoops been a little monkey today! I know it's hard to believe isn't it, but I'm afraid it's true for some reason every time he's gone out today he's charging off at a hundred miles an hour and running through the hedgerows. It's quite worrying because I don't want him to hurt himself or damage his eyes . It's hard to believe that a sweet angelic little dog like snoop could turn into a bull in a china shop. So until he calms down he's back on his long lead, at least then I have some control. Of course he thinks mummy's a party pooper. Sorry snoop it's because I love you.Ness

 

[Socks' Mum]

You are a good, responsible owner

Probably it’s because he’s settled in so well and feels secure. He’s only a young dog, so naturally he’s got a good bit of zoom he will surely calm down again.
Keeping him on the lead in the meantime is a wise choice

I think we need a chickens thread! It would be lovely to see and hear more about them.

 

[Vanessa1]

Ok I'll do that ! It's a lovely Idea Ness

 

[Vanessa1]

Snoop has had a wonderful day to day! The lovely weather helped I'd say he's been outside for most of the day only coming on for a sleep after his mid day treat. When he was let out first thing this morning he did go charging towards the hedge! I shouted.. snoop no.. and he just stopped dead in his tracks, he turned and looked at me with that angelic face as if to say What Mum! Then he behaved for the rest of the day ( unbelievable) we'll see how long this lasts. I must have the faith I must.Ness

 

[Socks' Mum]

Good boy Snoop He seems to know not to rush around in the hedgerows

 

[Vanessa1]

Hi everyone, snoop had a lovely Sunday, the weather has been glorious so he's really happy that the front door is open and he can just do what ever he likes He has decided that it really pays to behave himself and not try to get through the hedge and pester the chickens! I know it's mad how hubby did a beautiful fence and gate and then he decided to go through the hedge ( bless him) he must have thought... Can't you see this way dad? I can . He's very good when he's had enough running around he just lies down on the path or gets up on the bench and has a snooze ( well it's hard work being a guard dog you know) when it's time to come in and have the door shut we just shout TOUCH and he comes in . Clever boy snoop Ness

He learns fast I bet he would be great at agility or dog dancing. I love watching the sheep dogs too it’s amaze how they work together with their human partners

 

[Socks' Mum]

He is an intelligent doggie. It's so nice that he has people who can help him realise his potential. People often don't see how intelligent animals are

I'm going to get an agility set for the back garden I'm convinced he would love it. Ness
