Autumn Bash 17th and 18th September 2022

[TonyL]

Ah, thanks for that, Gav, and I've explained that making sure he's properly trained and well-behaved are paramount as he's, obviously, going to be a big, strong lad.

Prior to his arrival the wife has been silly busy re-configurating bedrooms etc., so the lad's bedroom is now downstairs and Caesar will be with him. The lad doesn't really "do" people. He's on the spectrum. He's a really good little shot, too, but due to his anxiety around people might not ever make it to a Bash. But he does have a real affinity with animals......our cats adore him and there are two horses in a field down the road who he visits who live him to bits. I have a feeling that training the pup will come very easily to him. We'll see.

When I went down for brekkie earlier they were both fast asleep next to one another.

P.S......Know what you mean re not being ready for another Shepherd a few months after your loss. Even if my wife had said yes to another after losing Brem I wouldn't have felt ready for at least six months, maybe a year. At least you have those two Frenchies who will, no doubt, adore you. And who knows what happens in the future? I'd resigned myself to not being able to ever have another.

Congrats on the new arrival Tone. We all know how much you miss Brem good to hear you've got a new canine in your life mate. A house isn't a home without a dog about the place

Can you post a picture Tony?

Glad to hear your news Tony. A lad needs a dog like he needs trousers
Laid up with that bug that's going around so not been on here much. Debbie is worse so I have just dragged myself around the shops and finished everything.
Incase I am not on again
MERRY CHRISTMAS BOINGER FOLKS

Thank you, Chris. And what a lovely phrase.

I can't post pictures but I will endeavour to forward some on to a very nice attendee who might be able to do so for me.

Yep, I hope you are both feeling much better in quick time, Pete.
And thank you re the comments on the dogdog.

And, just in case I don't get the chance to get on later, A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL YOU LOVELY BOINGERPEEPS.

I'm about to go in the kitchen to start prepping everything for tomorrow so I'd like to wish everyone a very happy Christmas.
Tony, you're going to love having the new pup around, I'm really pleased for you.

[TonyL]

Thank you, Gary

And a very Merry Christmas to you and all the family.

I bet he has, Pete.

Talking of beers, I received loads of different ones yesterday.....a great selection of craft ales, mostly IPAs, and a fair few different sorts of Brew Dog ones, including the Double Punk and Triple Hazy......working through them nicely.
