THIS IS SHAY LEAVING WITH HIS NEW FAMILY - updated 4th March 2006

HIS FIRST NIGHT AT HIS NEW HOME Hi Joe Many thanks for the lovely welcome you showed us yesterday. We are absolutely delighted with our new new lad and have decided to change his name to ‘Shay’. It’s a good old Irish masculine name and we come across many with that name I don’t think. Sorry to mess you around with the name change but hopefully you won’t have had time to update your web pages yet. I have attached a photo that I took of him this morning but I will send you more as he grows so you can see how he is developing. All the best Susan

SHAY

Hi Joe Thanks for the e-mail, those pictures are lovely and I will be including them in his photo album. As I said before I will send more photo’s as he grows. He seems to have settled in well, met most of the family and gets on great with the grandchildren, which is important. I took him to our vets this morning for his vaccination and microchipping, he was really good and the vet was very pleased with him. He’s stretched out fast asleep behind my chair in the study at the moment, had a busy day bless him!! I took this photo of Shay with my youngest daughter this morning before the vets appointment. Thanks again, I will keep in touch I promise. All the best Susan CLICK HERE TO SEE SHAY'S MUM AND DAD IN IRELAND

UPDATED 1ST FEB 2006 ---thank you, best wishes joe at foxmulder xxxxxxxxxx Hi Joe Here’s a picture I took of Shay today. He just loves his puppy chew, and he especially likes his soft cuddly friend. When he’s done dragging him about and growling at him he falls asleep on him....so cute. All the best Susan xxx

SHAY AT 4.5 MONTHS, YES HE DOES LOOK LIKE MY CHARLIE XX Hi Jo Took these pics this morning just after his new Kudos bed had arrived. The checked soft bed he had before is now in the bin in tatters.....:) Take care, All the best Susan I have just taken this photo of Shay and he looks so cute I just had to send it to you. After looking at your website again this morning, Shay reminds me of your Charlie. All the best Susan

UPDATED 30TH OCTOBER 2006 Shay looks fantastic, thank you for all your updates xxxxxxx Hi Jo Hope you are feeling much better by this time and have completed all your treatment. I wanted to ask you about Shay, I am thinking of having him neutered but before that happens I wondered if perhaps you would like to use his services as it were....:) I know you have your own stud dogs but he is so gorgeous and great tempered, although he has started to assert himself when strangers call at the house these days, and he has people he takes an instant liking to and others that he won’t let come anywhere near him. I tend to trust his judgement....:) Let me know what you think. I have some funnies to send you as well, look forward to hearing from you. All the best Susan ###################### UPDATED 9TH JAN 2007 Me again Jo I took these photos earlier this evening so they are the very latest of my beautiful Shay. His coat is so silky and shiny, and he likes nothing better than to lay across my lap for a cuddle every evening, great, except he weighs around 6 stones....!! He’s off to the Vets on Thursday for his annual health check and booster shots, don’t think he’ll be very impressed with that. All the best Susan ############# UPDATED 10. JAN 2007 Hi Jo Sorry about that, I was trying to resize the pics cos I know they are big. Oh well, hope you can open them now, they are quite good of him. He is stunning isn't he, a great looking lad. You don't think I have anything to worry about then, not having had a Rottie from a pup before I wasn't sure when they start to bulk up. I was worried because I can feel his backbone when I stroke him. He eats well twice a day (Purina Pro Plan) plus milk once a day. Although having had a look at your website and read some of the information I am going to try him on Lactol, see if that will help. He also has very large bones that I get fresh from the butcher occasionally, he really enjoys those. His temperament is superb, no food aggression or anything like that. Mind you I have trained him from the beginning with his food, putting my hand in his feeding bowl etc' and it's certainly done the trick. You can even take a bone from his mouth now and he doesn't bother. Great dog. Good luck with everything Jo. All the best Susan xxx ######################## UPDATED 22ND FEB 2007 Hi Jo How are things with you now, are you still having treatment? Here are some pics of Shay that I took today, as you can see he is making a beautiful dog. He’s started filling out a bit now, but he looks as though he’s going to be very tall. I don’t know what I would do without him these days. My son James has been away to Thailand for 3 weeks and Shay has really kept me company, he does some very funny things that make me laugh so much. Take care All the best Susan xxx CLICK HERE TO SEE SHAYS SECOND PAGE
