I’ve been properly shamed into sharing updated pics of Ollie.
Fair dinkum, as my late Down Under husband used to say. Rather than clutter their fine MMP thread, I’ll post the updated pics here instead. The following are Ollie at 18 weeks.
For those who may be curious as to why it took so long, first is a good representation of the sort of Ollie pics I’m getting these days:
If you want a more complete account of the reason for the delay, you can read it here:
With that understanding, here are the remaining best recent pics I’ve managed to get of Ollie:
The favored duck.
The bestest doughnut in the world.
(Note the overlong toenails. I finally got those under control yesterday and have the wounds to prove it. Not really. He was trussed up like a chicken.)
The only opportunity to get a still pic of Ollie: In front of the food bowl.
And we’re off!
I’m sure it will get better. Right? RIGHT?
@carrps, I apologize for failing to respond to your most recent post. It’s really good of you to take on older rescues. True for @dogbutler, too. They can have a lot of bad habits built in, which was the main reason I chose to raise Ollie from a pup. I’ve taken a lot of rescue animals over my lifetime and loved them just as well as my 3 purebreds. As we all know, ‘purebred’ sure doesn’t translate to ‘better dog’!! Doubly true in Ollie’s case. I think Ollie might be my just deserts.
