Johnny Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yes excellent news - sorry for going way off topic. The main thing is you are all back safe & sound and starting on your new adventure. Great time of year to be coming back Just the small matter of "jet lag" to sort out !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caramac Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 A quick update. My wife and little fella arrived safe and well yesterday - though we didn't get back from picking him up from the animal centre at Heathrow until 11pm and I had to be in work for 6:15 this morning. So a bit bleary eyed. But don't care as it is just great to know they are here and currently sleeping soundly in bed. We got to the cottage and we went in the garden together. It was interesting as he could clearly smell it was very different. Not just a new place, but he seemed to know it was something very different. It's funny, our little dog has been here for five years now, but whenever he hears an Australian bird/animal on the tv he pricks his ears up and trots over to the tv to have a look/listen. We had a couple of our daughters' friends staying in January and although he hasn't seen them for over six years, he went absolutely nuts when they arrived. They don't forget. Enjoy having them both back with you - you've brought spring with you too, so thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came through the arrivals centre at Heathrow after landing only two hours before, saw us and looked at us as if to say, 'Oh, there you are. Where's the car?'. He hopped in back, we drove to Cheshire, he hopped out straight into my parent's house and lay down on the rug as if he'd always lived there! He was never stressed about it at all. Hopefully Ralphy will be just as chilled when he arrives in Aus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate walked past this dog which was lying outside somebody's house and said "Here boy" and patted his knees. The dog jumped up and trotted over for a pat. My mates wife just stood there gobsmacked. She said "That's incredible, the dog understands English!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
