Today is the day!

I'm going to collect the wee dog this afternoon ?

I have a crate for her for inside the house. Can I use it to travel her in? She doesn't have a harness of any sort. I could get one before going but wondering about fit.

We've put up a stairgate so she can't go walkabout, as I'm not yet convinced the garden is wee-dog-secure, and a small (compared to the other one ?) outdoor run.

Debating getting a tracker tag thing to go on her collar as if she gets out into the forest I'll never see her again ? Does anyone use one and if yes recommendations please ?

Will put pictures up when I've got her home (and when I've figured out how to do it from my phone as the site complains about the size).

 

[AmyMay]

Yes, put the crate in the boot to travel her in.

Good luck xxxx

Ditto what Amymay said ↑↑↑. Fingers crossed everything will go smoothly.

ETA The later includes getting pictures from your mobile to be "postable" on HHO, we need pictures of the little darling.

Awww I can’t wait to see pics ?? you’ll need to re-size the pics to get them to upload here, I downloaded a free app (the one I use is Image Size but there are loads of them) to shrink the pics a bit, then they will upload.

Hope all goes well ?

Good luck with collecting and looking forward to piccys

 

[SashaBabe]

How exciting. Good luck. Can't wait to see the pics.

I have the PawFit tracker on all three of mine as they like to run through the woods when we are out. Always follow me round but gives me peace of mind knowing where they are. Works briliantly via an app on your phone. You have to buy the device and subscription per dog as it uses phone signal but worth it for me.

i used to use the same crate for home and car but bought another for car as i got fed up with continually moving cage ..looking forward to pics..

Can’t wait for photos. I think someone on here has a www.tractive.com tracker after a recommendation from someone else on here. Hopefully they will be along, if I remember they were really pleased with it.

 

[MrsMozart]

Ta all. We're just home.

Big dogs are in the big run and wee dog is on a lead having a sniff about.

So far the GSD had been the grumbliest but she's usually the most vocal.

Going to let the big ones out one at a time to say hello.

Back with pictures later.

 

[dogatemysalad]

Exciting news. Hope the dogs give the newbie a warm and generous welcome.

 

[MrsMozart]

All survived the intro and we've been for a walk across a field ??

So bloody proud of the 'Raptors and GSD! Not a grumble from them once all out and mingling, despite wee dog having a growl and a snap.

Will keep an eye on the GSD as she's not too keen on wee dog having too much of my attention. No grumbling etc., just a body language thing. A balance is to be found.

Trying to pick out decent pics. Everytime I've gone to take one a dog has come up for cuddles. Tried a video, which is mainly grass ?

Wee dog keeps going to the open door (stairgate across it) and starting longingly, except when she's admiring herself in the big mirror ??

 

[MrsMozart]

Hm... I've lost wee dog to D!

Everytime he sits down she's there on his lap.

I'd feel unloved if I could stop laughing long enough ??

Pictures or it never happened is the phrase that comes to mind!

I agree! All this tantalising feedback (so glad it’s going so well!) but no pictures, you are being mean to us ?

You’ve been here too long already ?

 

[MrsMozart]

Thank you for the tracker recommendations. Will looksee.

Quickly

(I email them to myself then upload via laptop and don't have to resize)

 

[SAujla]

I got overconfident and impatient. I think I'm still a rookie not been on here a year yet

You’re doing fine! X

 

[{97702}]

Come on MrsM we are all imploding with impatience here ???

 

[MrsMozart]

Can't email pics off my phone - they just sit in Drafts and them I can't send or delete them ?

 

[MrsMozart]

Will find a way to get them on here.

Off to investigate resizing thingies

Do you have an iPhone? If you do, go into App Store and down load Image Size (it’s free), then use that to select the pics and resize them to 600 x 600 pixels. You can then upload them straight to the forum

Do you use messenger? If so, send them to yourself, automatically resizes, then save and post here x

Not sure... (spot the technophobe!). I do have WhatsApp, maybe can do something with that.

You can do a gallery so up to 9 I think on a Samsung. Go into your Gallery, click 3 dots on right, create collage then you should be able to post it on here. No Facebook?
