[quote=""Vanessa""]I know - they're not over keen on each other! They're half brothers and there's a lot of sibling rivalry going on!! LOL. I would not have two male dogs again - one male and one female or two females would be fine. They are both alpha males and it creates no end of problems.[/quote]

That's useful to know - I was always told to avoid two bitches because they'd both be alpha women and the fights would be to the death. So I've been tempted by the boys in the current litter and trying to choose between while Faith is desperate that we keep the lemon girl. So maybe I'll relent. I quite like the idea of training a boy, though - never done it before...

Thanks to everyone else for the welcome - it's good to be home.

Manda Scott - how cool. I have the first book in the Boudica trilogy on my bookshelf and I have to say I am very curious about it.

Hi Manda! Will look into your Boudica series. She's always been a favorite of mine (crops up in my WIP, but not the main character.) Love your pups, although I'm a cat person. Currently fostering six feral kittens with lots of health problems...have to keep a big chart to make sure each gets its meds when needed, plus lots of loving. Writing time? What's that?

Heck... it's bad enough when they're all healthy - I've banned anyone with a dog from coming near the house for the next 4 weeks in an effort to minimise the viral load, but then we'll have to start socialising them - they reckon if I can get 100 new people before they go to their new homes, they'll be on the right road. That and the proprioceptive stimulation, the basic training and the raw food weaning is going to take up a lot of time. My beloved his never done this before - the amount of work is sloooowly dawning, particularly given that I have to be away for 3 days for the Festival of Historical Literature and am leaving them at home...

/waves to everyone who's read Boudica - if you want to follow the surviving characters, the first book in the Rome series picks up pretty much where the last Boudica left off, it's just a completely different style of book: a spy thriller first and foremost.

Oh how cool. I had no idea there was any link between the two series. I have the first Rome book. Must get to it soon!
