New Apprentice
Am proud to announce that I have a new apprentice!
After loosing my number one supervisor last week (RIP Nippa), I was surprised to find myself rehiring so soon... It's funny how things turn out.
I wasn't actively looking for a new companion in the workshop but couldn't resist the qualifications of this bloke after we met mostly by chance.

Buddy
He's an 8 week old Bulldog x Border Collie, and over the last couple of days has shown a lot of promise that he's going to be a good mutt.
Really looking forward to the next couple of weeks bonding. Then off for his second lot of shots, and who knows what sort of adventures after that.
Sad times and exciting times all at once...gotta love life!
Craig.

He's a lot bigger than my new apprentice, Miss Molly. Had her for 3 weeks, the other 2 have corrupted her, but are slow in teaching her to stay out of the way. She has also earned the sobriquet of "Squishy"

Lucy (brown Staffy x Kelpie) is the Site Supervisor, Toby (White Foxie x Jack Russell) is the Safety Advisor and Molly (Pug x Jack Russell) is the Cadet Engineer.
They don't share each other's food, play nice or snore in unison . . . much!Pat

Looks like a little cracker, I'm sure he'll settle in and be promoted to OIC in no time at all. Good luck.

Very nice looking companion. That mix could be a real winner. I would suggest that he will be a fanatical protector of your rights.

A friend of mine has a dog like Buddy, he called it Handyman, I asked "why", he said "he does little jobs around the yard".
I think cross bred dogs make better pets, he looks like he will be a real mate

Thought I'd post an update seeing that it's nearly six weeks since I posted some pics.
Apart from the expected antics of a 14 week old pup ("don't bite", "get down", "that's not yours" and multitudes of "no"), he's proving to be very welcome addition to the family and an excellent companion dog. Temperament wise he has a lot of the Bully coming through, very laid back and fantastic with the kids (4 & 7). With the smarts of both Aussie Bulldog and Border Collie, he is a quick learner and extremely obedient for his age. Naturally we spoil him rotten but he deserves every bit of it. Very happy indeed.

We lost a little of our manhood at the vet yesterday. We're now working very hard on the recovery.

All went well, and as a bonus I scored a pair of earrings for the wife's chrissie present.Craig
