Hi my name is Mikey,
I am an adorable 3 year old entire dog, with a great personality ! I love everybody and everything, I'm excellent with children, pigs and horses don't bother me either, I tend to get a little bit exited around other dogs !
I'm house trained, I know how to sit, lie down and stay, I'm good on the lead, I adore giving and receiving hugs. I'm just a big soft affectionate boy looking for a new home !

Hi, I am Maria, and as I am used to being the spokesdog for both of us I thought I would tell you about both of us to save Tia a job.

We are litter sisters and we are two years old and spayed.  Our foster mum calls us the Terrible Twosome but actually we aren’t – we are both really good girls (or we think so, anyway).  We are gentle and kind although we like to play with our foster brother if he allows it, otherwise we’ll run around and play together.  Rearing and boxing each other are good fun.  We are very good in the house; we are calm and sensible although sometimes I bark if someone comes to the door; as I said, I speak for both of us and Tia remains silent.  We are happy to let people in and out because we are friendly souls.  We don’t chew and we are housetrained.

Both of us are good on the lead whether we are walked on our own or with other dogs.  We are good with dogs large and small and polite to people we meet when out and about.  We have sheep as neighbours at the moment and we would quite like to take a closer look, but we have been told that we mustn’t do that and we have obeyed those wishes (so far).  The horses next door are much bigger than us so we steer clear of them.

 We both arrived with ear mites which needed treatment which we are receiving now.  My ears are much better but I think Tia will need more attention to her ears than I will to mine.  We also had very long nails and we have had them trimmed regularly.  We like the attention and are both very good patients; well, sometimes we like to play difficult when we see the bottle of ear stuff but we love having our ears massaged and wiped out.  We also sit nicely to have our nails cut and we don’t mind getting a treat afterwards either.  Grooming is good!!

As you may have gathered I am the more forward one.  I love my walks and I am very easy to live with.  On windy nights I have been a bit barky because I have heard things, but when told to “shutitandgotobed!”  I have done so.  Now that I am used to the house noises I am much quieter.

Tia on the other hand is quite shy; she tends to approach visitors only after she has checked with me that the person is OK.  She hates the weather up here – well, it seems to do nothing but rain and we have had a few soakings.  When she has to go out in it she does a very good show of “pathetic”.  In the worst of the weather she does the very minimum required when outside and it has resulted in her being caught short overnight on occasion.  She also doesn’t like kennels; we had to stay in one last year and she didn’t eat.  She was skinny when we came here but is now gaining weight.  She is a real hot-house flower; if our foster mum puts the fire on, Tia has to be prised away from it if anything is required of us.  She is also very quiet; she never barks, but there again, she doesn’t need to with me around.
