Introducing Bishop
 

Here is the newest furry member to our smooching waggy butt family. He is a 6mth old spaniel puppy who spent the first 6mths locked in a crate. So far he is pretty smart and is starting to figure out that kisses are a good thing.

Couple more, poor guy everytime he dries off he gets rained on again.

What a cutie! Boy, where have I been? I didn't know you were getting a new pup. Are you fostering him or keeping him?

Nope not losing it, we didn't tell anyone til we knew for sure. He's ours to keep 'cause hims is too cute.

Aww, congratulations! How wonderful of you to bring in another little guy into your furry family.

He's too cute aslan ! I didn't realized he was so small (beside Quincy) I'll bet he's getting lots of kisses and hugs right now :cloud9:

He looks like a real cute boy, I'm so glad to know that his life will no longer be spent ( wasted) in a crate and that he now has a loving forever home. Way to Go

Congrats on the new addition! he sure is scruffy..( in a good way :cloud9:) i love dog like him..well that look like him, lol. :lovestruck:

we've decided he looks like a really short sheepdog....

What a cutie!! Thanks for taking him out of that crate!! :thumbs up

Congrats on adopting the new cutie :cloud9:

You do realize you will hafta post more pic of Quincy & Bailey now too right? Playing with Bishop, fimmin w/Bishop, chewing on Bishop.........:D

lol, i'll get right on that, but at the moment i think they are plotting on eating bishop.

He's adorable. His fur is beautiful and his colouring is so pretty. He looks mighty happy thanks to you.

Awww I missed this post,he looks really cute and will probably be a new little man once he's cleaned up:dog:
I don't know the circumstances that brought him to you,but whatever they are,he must think he's in heaven:thumbs up

OMG what a cutie pie :lovestruck:. 6 months in a crate :eek::yell::mad:. Is there a story behind this guy that you can share with us?

All i know is he is either a byb pup or a puppymill pup. Not housebroken, at the moment he isn't too fond of me and the clippers. I'm having to scissor clip his whole front end. His legs and paws are badly pee stained and the more i clip the worse his toes smell:yuck: This is after we bathed him yesterday. He doesn't seem to be to badly underweight. Ohoh and he has mastered kissing now:D

What a sweetheart he is, aslan! :flirt:

Brier was rescued from similar circumstances. He was pee stained, too. We never did really get rid of the odor (though it did get less pronounced) or the stains till his hair grew out. But the bathing did help finish healing up the urine burns he had on his elbows (bad enough so that when we got him a few months after he was 'liberated', they were still healing :sad:).

Is Bishop your constant shadow? Brier sure is hubby's. And he [I]really [/I]appreciates getting attention--even if it [I]is[/I] scissor clipping. :D Just make sure you clip, massage, clip, kiss, clip, give a treat, clip, rub a belly...and whisper sweet nuthin's in his ear the whole time. :cloud9:

It sounds like Bishop's reaction to toys was about the same as Brier's! Toys took some figuring out, but now he considers them the best thing since ice cream...oh, wait...has Bishop met ice cream, yet? :dog: Another wonderful discovery if he hasn't! :cloud9:

He's such a lucky dog to come live at aslan and grace's house! Two playmates and two doting moms... :cloud9:

OMG, if i had my way i'd change his name to velcro. i move and he's attached to my legs. I use to be a groomer and i've never had such a rough time clipping a pup. From about the shoulder to the bum he'd let me use the clipper, but not his front end, nope,nope, nope.

Hazel, as soon as i saw he was tri-colour i knew you'd like him. He looks a little more spaniel now. I'm never gonna smooth clip him without sedating him. I will let him grow back in long, 'cause him's is cuter like that. And we will just add him to the brushing line up.

He's probably never seen a clippers before, much less had one used on him. Noisy, vibrating thing! Can you blame him? :eek: Besides, if you have to spend the time to scissors clip him, then he has more opportunity to kiss your face. :D

We were lucky with Brier--his hair is long, but straight and a bit on the coarse side for a setter, so it doesn't mat much. Bishop's hair looks more like Macie's--fine and curly? But with daily combing (not brushing, which can't separate the strands in her hair) she doesn't often get mats anymore. :thumbs up

Does he like to get his ears cleaned? Brier loves it... I think he had an ear infection when they pulled him out of that place he was at, and he decided he loved regular ear cleanings. :D He's the only one of our dogs that actually [I]leeeaaannnnnnsss[/I] into it. :dog:

And is Bishop sorta clumsy? We noticed that it took Brier a few months after we got him before he regained some grace. :D Part of it was adolescence, I'm sure, but a lot of it was loss of muscle tone. Him was real clutzy fer quite a while! :laughing: Watching him cut corners at a run in the yard was hilarious...but resulted in a fairly muddy Brier who needed hosing before he could come back in the house.

Aha....I finally found a thread on Bishop. What a sad story :sad: .....#@%&#@ puppy millers. :yell: :frustrated: :wall:

I'm sure glad you and Grace rescued him :angel: .....he couldn't have found a better home. :cloud9:

Aw congrats on the cute new furry!

K he is as clipped as he's gonna get, this is gonna make putting drops in his eyes much easier. Hazel i don't know about the ears yet. Next on the list. Quincy leans and moo's at you if you do his. Bishop likes them rubbed so i'm guessing he's gonna like it too.

So where's the new pic of Bishop all cleaned up? :D

I agree, rainbow. I think new pics are in order, too! :p

ok fine, but wow you guys are demanding.

Aww, he looks so happy! What a cutie! :lovestruck:

Aww we can see his beautiful eyes,you know,he really looks happy:dog:
I just love rescue stories like this,with puppers seeing the good side of life:lovestruck:

Aw :flirt: Eyes to die for! :cloud9:

What a cutie!!

Such a sweetie.:lovestruck: I'm sure Bishop thanks you for saving him.

i'm trying, i'm trying, if i even look at him his little bum starts a wiggling and he falls down or goes all goofy. i'm seriously thinking of changing his name to velcro or stalker.
