Pepper on Roger's lap. Roger is sitting in his very comfy chair
As most of our friends would know, we having been looking for a dog since we dogsat Jonty and enjoyed him immensely. In fact, everyone has been looking for a dog for us. We have had disappointments, when we thought we had chosen one, only to be told "Oh, he's on hold"!! But, now we realize that one wasn't meant to be anyway.
Pepper (once named Bandit because of the black around his eyes!) became available on Friday 13 May and Joanne, my boss, took Roger to have a look at him and of course the rest is history.
We think Pepper belonged to an older lady who could no longer look after him. Pepper tends to follow me around more than he does Roger and we want to change this. So, if there's treats to be had, I try and get Roger to give them rather than me.
I don't think Pepper has been walked. He is hopeless on the lead and when I take him out in the morning and leaps along like a spring lamb! It was funny at first, but it is wearing thin after 3 days!! He is also full of energy and always wants to play. He needs to settle a little.
Pepper is a Shih Tzu crossed with something else we think! We have a lot to learn about how to look after a little dog.

An adorable puppy! How old is he? Soon doggies have their masters trained...just hang in there, he'll have you just as he wants you!
Thanks Johanna and Pat. Fancy me forgetting to say he is around 4 years old. That's why we wonder why he has so much energy and playfulness in him!!
