Greetings from the Land of the Long White Cloud!

New Zealand that is.....

Last Wednesday my partner and I fell in love with a two year old girl who was looking for a new home, she is not a pure boxer (ridgeback cross) but I can see how people fall in love so easily, she is a ball of energy and just loves cuddles. Her old family let her sleep on the bed and if she keeps hogging the bed we may have to invest in a king size either that or buy her her own bed, she simply doesnt like the 'dog' bed I brought her!!

Any tips on handling Tess would be great, my other dog is a german shepherd and they are totally different.

I hate to tell you this, but.....if you bought another bed just for Tess she wouldn't sleep on it!!!!! They are 'people' dogs and where you are so they must be, so getting a Kingsize would be more profitable. Isabelle sleeps down in the Rec room on her old sofa with her knitted cover until she starts getting cold, then, anywhere from 4.30 - 5.45am. she will come up and cuddle in between Gunther & I until Gunther gets up about 6.15am. Tess is quite tall then if she is crossed with a Ridgeback, we have two up the road from us, they are beautiful dogs, they are such a dark brown that they look almost black when they stand back to the sun.
Anyway, welcome to you, I am sure that you will work something out to suit you all.

king size beds

I'm now used to sleeping with no duvet and a wet nose in my face! My partner is the tough one, I look at her eyes and melt.

I'm in Wellington
