Today the Wild Side Pack welcomed a new member – Archie the Springer Spaniel. I was delighted as although I have a number of Cocker Spaniels in my pack, Archie is my first Springer!
He was a little unsure about the van (but not too bad), but once up at Mugdock he was perfect. I kept him on the lead for less than 5 minutes as every time I called on him while on the extending lead, he shot instantly back to me.
Off lead he had an absolute blast – running about through the forest with Ivy and Ghillie, splashing through the puddles and jumping into every bit of mud/bog he could find.
I never needed to watch for him as he kept his eye on me the whole time, and he played and interacted beautifully with the rest of the pack.
Archie is a lovely friendly boy, who comes from a loving and caring home – my favourite breed of dog. Welcome, Archie! You and I are going to get on just brilliantly.
