3 years ago today we rehomed Bert. Awesome beautiful dog! Still the best £130 we have ever spent on anything!

What a magnificent hound.

I have a rescue dog myself. I remember the first day I picked her up she walked into the house, plonked herself on the couch with no encouragement and fell fast asleep. I like to think to myself that she thinks she's landed on her feet...

The first week was fun with Bodie while he got used to the word 'no', his new name and 2 walks on the lead a day. (Evenings after 6:30 it was like batteries had been removed as he was comatose).

We now have a dog that enjoys the fact that someone is home all the time but for the odd 4 or 5 hour period. There's off-lead walks with a ball (ball is life, nothing interrupts ball). And running with a bike for an hour is the best thing ever especially if the tide is in on the Orwell. Not the sharpest as he'll run chest deep for 500m without pause.

I like to think so as well with with Bert - awesome walks and unlimited tummy tickles!

If he can drive then that is indeed a good price.

I do like a dog with pointy ears.

One of mine is a rescue. She’s a needy idiot stuffed full of neuroses. Wouldn’t change her, but I’m not sure I’d get another rescue. The one I raised from birth understands English perfectly.

They do that. Little buggers make you fall in love with them and then leave you far too soon.

With that said, mine watched me wire up a plug socket today and did not say a word when he saw me connect it to the switched main and not the permanent. The sod. Now he's asleep on my GF's feet.

I know we'll say 'nice dog' to just about anyone who posts theirs on here, and fair enough; but Bert really is lovely! If you ever get tired of him, send him over to me!

Excellent that taking Bert into your family has been so hugely positive. Another dog homed in a loving family is a win!

I think this is the perfect example of a win-win situation.

Bert is a great (and very lucky) dog.

Bert is a great (and very lucky) dog.

We have to thank Manchester dogs home - the full time carer's there really knew Rommel (as they named him) personality and character as he'd been with them a while.

We also took a long time to make sure both parties were going to be good with each other and we visited and took him for walks many times before committing. I didn't want Rommel/Bert to have the trauma of finding a forever home and it then not working out and finding himself back in Manchester dogs home.
Thankfully it's been great and we love having him in our life and adventures.

Is this really that many years ago.

Had just started canoeing with our 2 year old but then ended up with her 9 week old halfsister at the weekend so canoeing will wait a bit while the little one grows a bit.

Yep 5years ago today - this is the pic of him in the back of our car coming home and looking forward to his forever home. Underweight with bald patches on his elbows from not having a proper bed😢.

His snout is getting a bit greyer with a few random white hairs in his mane and he is on joint supplements as sometimes a bit stiff and achy but otherwise is fine and loving life.

Great story & great pics, esp the canoeing ones. Awesome.

For such a big dog, he does have a kind look about him.
