Now Bonnie both raids the bin and rolls in the **** in the fields, if she gets the chance!

Nothing is going to persuade me not to have another dog. She needs lots of lively company and adores socialising with other dogs. One dog would be fine if we had small children about more regularly to keep her lively, but we're a bit past it in active doggie terms. Would love to do agility with her, as she is tremendously agile, but my creeky hip puts paid to that! We shall learn what to do, but will have to go at a much slower pace!

We found with our other dogs (when we had 2 at a time) that they still trudged on behind us where-ever we went, but had the chance of a bit of play or a cuddle together when we were busy. Bonnie will make friendly gestures to the cats, but they are 15 and tend to move away fairly quickly, as they prefer a peaceful life.

I think if the first dog is secure and the new one is a pup, they will adapt to each other very happily, providing you are careful that you make a big fuss of the first dog as well. A bit like a new baby in the family really!

Happy travelling
