triciajh Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Good luck! I do hope Loopins comes to live with you. You sound just right for him.Panda, your gorgeous little dog looks very much like my daughter's miniature labradoodle!! He is such a little character,only seven months old.

Magnolia Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Oh Panda your pooch looks exactly like Hugo only with wirier fur. Hugo, when clipped looks just like a Poodle but when his fur has grown he leans more towards Griffon. His coat is very thick and fluffy and he doesn't moult either which is a real blessing. This is a photo of my family (from right to left) Hugo, Socks, Marmite and Roqui who we fostered for a while before he was adopted by lovely Anna and her family. If you look closely at Hugo you'll notice that he has a wonky mouth. That's because he had a very serious road accident at 2 months old and nearly died. He had emergency surgery and now has steel plates in his jaw giving his mouth a scewiff appearance. [IMG]http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj160/marmitesock/RoquiMarmiteSocksHugo.jpg[/IMG]We rescued Hugo from Les Amis des Betes in Royan and he looked like an old dog. He was bordering on having mange, had tick and flea infections and his fur was so long, matted and stinking that we thought he was at least 7 years old......he was 6 months old!!!! We took him away there and then and went straight to the vets for a check-up. We knew nothing of his injuries until the vet told us that the previous owner used him for Hugo's treatment so everything was on file. We took this quite disturbed dog home and wondered how on earth we were going to cope with him but I couldn't let him go because I instantly loved him. He didn't know how to play and he just ran around like a mad thing. He was like that for months. I don't know how we got through it because he was destructive, dominant and aggressive and he made me cry with frustration so many times.But now at 4 years old I love him more and more each day. He's been my companion when I was lonely on first arriving in France, he comforted me when I lost my little brother and he showed me how to behave with him and other dogs. I can't imagine my life without him. As for my kitty's well, just look at them. They even look like they're going to get up to something no good in the photo! They're off to be castrated next week (they're 7 months old) so that'll be fun. And would you believe that they're brothers?Thank god for animals x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chantemerlière Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Great photo Magnolia and they all look so content. Hugo looks as though he is master of all he surveys, although I suspect thecats would have something to say about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnolia Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Now you come to mention it you're quite right about Hugo. He does think he's above everyone else - even the cats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantemerlière Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well, the big day has arrived and Looping has found a newhome.We collected him from Niort at 3.00pm this afternoon and he hasn't stopped since. He is in very good condition and he has obviously been well lookedafter.His name is LOOPING but he is known as LOU-LOU pronounced Low-Low and he is a X Griffon born in February 2005! I have enclosed a few photos, which were taken as soon as wegot back here, so he was still a bit disorientated. Kiki is a bit jealous, but I hope, with careful management,we can overcome that. To Magnolia, We have received your email and Susanne willemail you later this evening.[IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/Looping200822Jan08.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/Looping200822Jan10.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/Looping200822Jan12.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panda Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well done you, he looks beautiful. We had the odd jealousy issue at first but now our two get on well, a little too well at times, my old cocker spaniel has suddenly, at 12 years old ,realised that girl dogs can be quite fun! I try to tell him to stop as this is his step sister but he seems not to care and neither does she, hussy, luckily for all concerned he has had the snip and she is about to!Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chantemerlière Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 An update on Lou-Lou He is progressing well and thorough enjoys playing with Kikiand our ram ‘Danny Boy’. In the background you can see two of the lambs and someof the chickens and he would play with them if he had half a chance. On Thursday last he had some enthusiasm dampened when we hadhim "snipped"! He had a little bit of a reaction to it yesterday so he had togo back and stay in overnight. We picked him up at 9:00am this morning and heis almost back to his old self.[IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/00Lestroisencore.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/00Lestrois.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/00Lesdeux.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chantemerlière Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 .The latest news is that the lovely Lou-lou has had his first haircut since coming to live with us. He had it cut in St Jean d'Angely this afternoon and I think that the young lady did a great Job.[IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/0LouLou50.jpg[/IMG]Kiki had her hair cut at the same time and they both seem to be happy with their new style![IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/0KikiLouLou10.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh245/Chantemerliere/The%20Animals/0Kiki100.jpg[/IMG].
