Himindoors (our resident mutt!) picked up Brandy from Hannah in Abbeyleix a year ago last Saturday. Karlin had been told that Brandy was about 10 years old and it sounded like he was on his last legs. He had a very hard life and it showed on his face. However, our Brandy was more than a little bit randy with our girls and our first job was to get him neutered to ease his libido!!! Here's his arrival in our house:
It turned out that he was closer to 7 or 8 years old and his ticker was on top form. It took a good 2 months before we sorted out his stomach and put a bit of weight on him as he was so unused to food. His behaviour was very erratic too. He was very aggressive towards Twinkle who only wanted to show him love. He lived on the lead in the house while he learned to behave himself. Next pic shows one of the first times he was on the couch with the girls
a few weeks later
getting closer
all together
I really believe he has brought us luck as a few weeks after we got him I found out I was pregnant with our baby daughter Sophie and we found our dream house in Cork. We could not wish for a more loving dog. So one year on I want to thank Hannah for saving him from his awful situation, Karlin for letting us have him, my hubby himindoors for going to get him, Twinkle for being his best friend and Daisy Boo for being the top dog he needed.
