Hi everyone, I thought I'd pop by and say hi. Hope you all and your animals are doing well There has been some change with me. Sadly I no long have Ottilie with me. I had to make the heart breaking decision to return her to the breeder. Otti was developing issues which were only getting worse. Her behaviour was taking a toll on my health, which was reflecting in Ottilie. I did everything I could (bar behaviourist route, which at this point things with myself were not great). I had to do what was right for the both of us, however much it broke my heart. I loved her to pieces, but I simply couldn't cope much longer. I have since met two breeders for a Silken Windhound. The breeder I decided I'd like a puppy from has accepted me for a puppy next year! I am thrilled, and simply cannot wait already! I didn't want to rush into getting another dog, and I'm specifically after an 8 week puppy, so I'm prepared to wait for the right dog. To keep me company, I have taken on two rescue kittens, who are roughly 18 or 19 weeks now. It is the best decision I've made! They have done me the world of good and I've given them a forever home, where they can catch as many mice to their hearts content! ..... Meet Fyn and Flo! You'll guess who is who. 68725005_144495383428295_816757298117713195_n by Bec W, on Flickr

Oh, bectil, sorry things didn't work out with Ottilie. At least you did give it your best shot with her. I saw the cats on instagram (as well as above), they're adorable! Can't wait to see puppy pictures in future too.

So sorry that it didn't work out with Ottilie bectil. You tried your best with her and made the heart-breaking but kindest decision to return her to the breeder. I love your 2 new kittens, Fyn and Flo, they are so cute. I googled a Silken Windhound - what a gorgeous breed. Keep us informed about the kittens and the puppy.

Sorry! Honestly been so busy. Mum still in hospital which makes things difficult, trying and failing to do the work for my degree, and then these things came up with Millie and Rumple! No way I wasn’t going to do the show or the film though. I’d post photos but I can’t! Maybe I can get he video of Rumple on Youtube and post the link.

Nice to have met you at DD on Sunday ( I spoke to you just before Rumple's class and said I'd recognised you from the Forum).
You must have spent a lot of time and worked very hard with him as he seemed to cope with the whole atmosphere really well and was SOoooo focused on you. I don't know about Rumple but my doglets were shattered at the end of the day and slept for hours afterwards.
We were there as our older CKCS is "Miss April" on the KC breed rescue calender for 2020. So proud of my special (deaf) little lady .

It was lovely to meet you meandmine. We had been working hard for it, and he coped much better than I thought he would. Thank you! Congratulations to your lovely girl too for making the calendar. Rumple still hasn't recovered I don't think! He's done nothing but sleep! Thank you lotsofcats. We've still got a long way to go, but this was a huge milestone for him. We're getting there slowly!

Sorry to hear you had to return Ottille to her breeder bectil but it sounds like it was the best thing for both of you. Great idea on taking on the rescue kittens, like scallywag I loved the image of them both of them on the windowsill They look like they are full of mischief so how on earth did you get such great calm photos of them Great news for the future puppy
