Yep..Tim and Tanya...he is an ugger but we LOVE him!

Bit of an eventfull day...I got home at lunch time to find the shire rangers card in my door :thumbsup: and little Eddie in a part of the backyard he had no business in (The fenced in carport area). I rang the local ranger and he was lovely...told me that Fast Eddie was seen down Manifold st (main road) and picked up by one of the shire girls who baby sat him while the ranger worked out who he belonged to. Apparently he sat in the office resting his head on this lady's knee!!.

The ranger actually came back to my house to have a chat. He said that he scanned his micro-chip and found out his details in Mortlake, rang her and found out she had given him to a lady who gave him to the R.S.P.C.A. He then rang them. They said 'What the!!! We only gave him a new home yesterday. The ranger then drove Eddie back to our place and put him in the backyard with 'The other black Dog(Jane). He then walked back to his car out the front to find Eddie sitting there looking up at him :eat: He felt sure that Eddie had squeezed through a slatted fence at the side of the house!

No fine...thank god...its $170...but needless to say we wired up those slats with chicken wire including a over hang at the top and wire tent pegged to the ground. We went out the front and called and called him and while he looked keen to join us, he couldn't get out..PHEW!

Tomorrow I will let the dogs in the house with the radio on, and leave work an hour early and sit outside and see what happens. PLEASE keep your fingers crossed for us!

Yep...abit nervous about tomorrow....I hope he stays put!

It must be so hard for him with all the changes he's been through in such a short time. Owner to lady to shelter to vets to us! All in probably less than a week.

I don't like the thought of keeping him in the laundry when we are away but he obviously has some anxiety when left alone as he dosn't try to escape when we are here.

I think he just needs to learn he's home....cuddled up beside me on the bed as I type. Sweet sweet little man with a coat so ruff you could scrap paint off with it!!!!!

Last Thursday, it was great, the dogs had a ball as we haven't been up there for ages, probly a bit too snakey for my lot now that the weather is a little hotter (apart from today :laugh:) is it ok if I txt you Sunday if I ican definatly catch up as Seans mum is still in Respite and we might have to head over there if we dont get there Saturday. RJ can more than likely make Sunday too, I am heading to her place tonight so Ill find out for sure, not sure if she has been here?

Hey Tez, how did Fast Eddie go today?? All good I hope?

Well Fast Eddie managed it AGAIN but was sprung in the act by my sister! Digging under the fence...so while I'm away, Leigh will be laying down wire mesh along the fence line and fortifying it with rocks. I'm hoping that now he is castrated, the need to roam will lessen but I'm new to male dogs so will have to research further. He stayed at home most of the day...it was just late afternoon.

Other than that, he is a really nice boy...gentle and sweet and loves being with us. Don't think he has had any training as he has no idea but we will get to that in good time.

He is easy to walk...no pulling. In fact, bar his one vice, he is a really easy dog to have. Poor Jane keeps shoving toys in his face and can't quite work out why he's not interested! He's very good natured with her...Bless him!

Well sounds like he is just right in every way apart from his great escapes, wish I had some advice but apart from leaving him inside or crating him I dont really know? What about a containment system this could be an option if it continues but I know they are pricey and it is early days. Im sure once he settles in he will be fine. It is also only early days after his desexing to so that could have something to do with it also. His terrier nature could be playing a part or the fact that he just wants human company. At least with Leigh being off now for a while he will be ok with someone there. Keep us posted. Any more photos yet?

TEZ, if you need some ideas on containing a escapee let me know

Heres hoping once he settles he will stop, but he could be an escape artist that may of been why he ended up at the pound

Tez, you probly wont see this now but have fun on your trip!!

TLC, any idea if the meat was heart smart or lean mince, thanks.

I think it was just standard mince Pandii - heard the ad on the radio. Be worth giving them a call though just in case.

Where's our nice sunny beach weather gone - would be nice to get some sunshine rather than just grey...
