Error on my part - please ignore.

I hope its ok to post this in here - another from my twitter feed.

I will ensure that it does mate!

Progress has slowed down a bit due to unforeseen glitches - a little frustrating but then the house is well over a hundred years old. New solid and secure back door, new windows, and plaster board on ready for skimming.

Lovely Steve. Reminds me of the many nights I've spent in the beautiful village of Cisnădioara, near Sibiu, In Transylvania, Romania. No light at all - laying on the kids big trampoline, the sky full of thousands of stars, in the play area of our children's lovely home. The most beautiful place I've ever been too, for many, many reasons. You'd love it - the biggest population of bears and wolves in Europe. This is autumn time.

Wow! Thats a proper hair tingling moment Steve. Great picture mate. Lovely. Peter

I initially read that as "great on the gear"! I bought this cheap, on a lovely looking demo. The vinyl is really thin like those freebie records you used to get. Nothiong chesap about the quality - absolute beautiful soul record, with superb vocals.

Sometimes attempting to over intellectualise things takes all the fun and mystique away. Innit.

Welcome Steve Peter

Hello I am old on the site

Nice one mate. Nat's is beautiful as you say. I thought you and Lexy's mum were sorted - from afar afield as I saw - on here, you seemed to have a great fit. She's a pretty girl too. I'm getting used to the fact that there wont be another "significant other" in my life, so I'm getting my Doberman rescue next week! Take care mate. Pete

Ey up my mate. She's beautiful Sooty. Hope all is well boss. Pete

I saw plenty of things at nighters (on bad nights) never a badger though.

That's stunning Steve. Easily one of the best Badger cub photos I've ever seen. Well done mate. Pete

Just found this picture of my new dog. This was when he first arrived - poor lad. Makes me more determined to give him the best life possible. https://www.facebook.com/DobermannRescueUK/videos/pcb.824459331081540/2117646848457105/?type=3&theater&ifg=1

Get them roasted Russ!

Lovely pictures Jonny. Pete

Thanks Dave Been to visit my boy again today - he's put on some needed weight and I'm sure he's taller too. He slipped his halter which makes him a little more manageable to walk - relying on the safety lease meant I kept hold of him but he almost dragged me two miles down the lane. He's a real strong boy now and I was knackered! He just needs to have some certainty in his life, and a constant companion to bond with. Considering how badly his first year and a bit of his life was he's amazingly affectionate. He's a stunning looking boy too now he's being fed properly. Loads of pictures to come. Pete

Thank you so much - that's a lovely message. Pete

Hi Steve I have spent too many years in a dark place of self imposed exclusiveness, loneliness, chronic depression and self neglect. My new pal and I are going to go places together, as a team. So many nice places to visit - I think I might come and visit you and Lou on your annual holiday next year! Peter and and my new besty.

That's correct Steve. The rescue centre has Dobermans from all over the UK, but also from many other places, current dogs are from Spain, Crete, Romania, Poland and Russia. Most of the dogs, but not all, have docked tails, some of them have the cropped ears a well. Its a real coincidence - or perhaps not, that some of you may know that I spent seven years as a Director of a children's home in Romania. All of our children had significant disability issues, including learning difficulties, Downs Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy. Sadly, the majority of disabled children in Romania were shunned by society, and ended up in "hospitals" and their lives were pretty horrendous. Things are improving slowly but there is much still to be done. The other coincidence is that my brothers new rescue dog that he adopted last year is from ..................................................Romania! I find that quite profound. Peter

Hi Steve His name is Ace - and he is ace. Full of fun, a bit cheeky but very affectionate. He's a big strong lad now, but was bare bones when he arrived from Romania half starved. Its amazing how dogs can still be so loving when they've been treated so badly. I'm really excited about him coming home with me. Peter

Thanks Steve I know he's going to change my life, and I will change his. I'm really excited. I have the option to bring him to work with me and I've just taken delivery of a large stair gate to be fitted to my office door. Peter
