Well, on the whole things are going fairly well. There have been a few blips - the house training definitely still needs work. I am crating Brythen at night, and *trying* to keep him supervised. He has just enough idea at the moment to want to sneak round the corner to do a pee, which is rather the worst of all possible worlds. But I think this is workable.
And my nice Logitech mouse has been accidentally eaten, meaning I am currently using an old Microsoft mouse that is DRIVING ME MAD. But apart from that, a good time seems to be being had by all. I'm feeling quite optimistic that Az is feeling happier too, which is a great relief. Tommy Shortlegs has a home offer - in London, rather a long way, but they are the best offer we've had for him, they seem really keen and will come to collect him - and I think he will be happy there.
I haven't felt much like any creative endeavour for the last month. First I was so afraid I would lose Mollydog, and then I did lose her and didn't have much energy for other things. I have done some painting, since I had committed to it, but I fear it's come out a bit weary, stale flat and unprofitable... And we have cancelled the planned weekend away for my birthday. But I am feeling a bit brighter with the new dog and the spring. Maybe I shall write some more things this month?

I think Tommy is truly committed to the Tuggy Way of Life. Brythen is more going along with the Tommy approach (he's a people person...)
sorry, I think I added a couple photos just after you posted this, so the tuggie pic is now second...
Also, I hope Tommy can be pursuaded to let go of that rope before his people come to get him, or they might have to take him attached to it.

Basically just lurcher I guess - thinking probably any pure breeds are a way back!
Tommy is the ultimate easy-recall dog. If you are holding a toy of some description, his eyes are FIXED on you! :-D
I presume from the photos that Az has accepted that he isn't offensive and repulsive?
I'm not sure if that's 'right' but Cornish is a pretty dodgy language with a ridiculous number of contradictory True Ways all pointing in slightly different directions and not that much evidence, but probably multiple dialects... so I think I can get away with it!
I'll be keeping fingers crossed for Tommy. He looks such a sweet heart.
He doesn't have much stamina : this evening he got playing with a young spaniel X and it was only about 10 mins before he got out of puff and had to lie down for a little rest!
Not that I'm complaining - I like a nice tall dog, you don't trip over them as much!
