Today marks the day I went and got my Billie. She has added so much joy and love to my life. Never did I imagine the love I could have for her. It amazes me how far she has come and how blessed I am for having this little girl in my life.
Attached are some photos of the day I got her :x

Wow what a gorgeous collection of photos
Enjoy counting the days of love, challenges, cheekiness, stubbornness, queen status memories you will share together
I hope you have a cake, drink, whatever goodies you both enjoy

I have a son reminding me it’s five days till his 10th birthday.... too many things on my calendar but my love is pouring out everyday
Sorry Tina.

Keep posting loving it all
Thanking Tina too

We’re gonna enjoy going back through those pics for many years to come
Keep posting, love seeing all your precious ebt’s
Thanking you too Tina
The pic of the little man with Billie is my ex's dog. I fell in love with the little boy! He was my first experience with an EBT and he stole my heart! They were so cute together and got along so great! Surprising, he was gentle with Billie , but would leave her alone. When he was too much for Billie, she would let him know to back off- she was such a fiesty little girl, lol.
I bet it was heartache to see the ‘little boy’ and big boy go Tina but then came Billie
Keep sharing - love it
She's been my saving grace through the breakup and the pandemic. She has been with me since she was 5½ weeks old ( I know I got her a little early and had challenges bc of it. I had to work extra hard with her bc of it, but we made it, woo hoo!) I've had dogs growing up, but never had my own to take care of. I knew nothing about the breed until my ex got the little man. I did a ton of research about the breed after and thought I was s**t out of luck bc I've never trained a dog before. I buckled up for the ride and never looked back. I worked with Billie from day 1 and the first few months were rough, but we kept going. Lots of patience, repetition, consistency, and love.
She has come a LONG way from when she was crazy little puppy, lol. EBT's are the best in my opinion and I may be biased, but its my truth:) I wouldn't have any other breed after having her :x
What a special person you are
I too grew up with parents of cocker spaniel breeders and loved having puppies around me growing up. I then grew up had my children plus two cats but never incorporated dogs until now.
It was because my eldest daughter brought home Moose thinking she would have the time and dedication for him - oh how wrong she was and how wrong I was in trusting her with this responsibility
However I took on the load fell in love and with all the hurdles wanted one of my own and then came Memphis. It nearly cost me a divorce lol so much drama but I am dedicated and will pour my love into them both. I new nothing about the breed except ‘scary’ thoughts and apprehensive concerns prior because of my family. It is always going to be a big responsibility as one son is scared of him and vice versus (Moose) but he just isn’t a dog person. I can’t force it but be vigilant and understand I need to also think of myself as I cannot please all and dedicate all decisions for them, otherwise I would have no life. Kids are draining lol
I have a long road in training them right, behaving etc.
just this morning on my walk my son called me (looking for clothes) it took this one call to get distracted with my boys and Moose approached a dog walking on leash. He wasn’t friendly growled and I was sooooo embarrassed and mad at Moose for doing this. It is not his normal character and I understand they won’t like all dogs but I was at fault for not being in charge/control. We had a great time prior but how mad I was walking home with him.
Challenging times and loving times to come Tina
This arvo they got triggered by several scooters on the board walk making a heck of a noise and they decided ‘let’s investigate’
Hey I didn’t mention that Memphis was a SURPRISE
Pic of little Moose
I love the pic of little Memphis- so curious to see what's on the counter :x
Oh and Billie was a b-day present to myself too
Oh that was cheeky little moose... haven’t taken a recent pic of him scanning the bench top lol
And my boys chase the tractor on the beach too....can’t risk this one they need the lead!
There will always be new surprises regarding sounds vehicles etc which you just have to wing it and hope you have strength on the lead. I’m only small and sometimes I just ????????that I can handle the unexpected.
We had no encounters this morning., all sweet
Such wild cold weather here....it was so easy to stay in bed and chill but no can do....kept my routine
My two white light bulbs
My boys love pinching sticks from this pile of junk and those butts are to die for
They are cutting butts
Billie has such a cute coffee/tea stain lol
So individual
My boys are rough around the edges in comparison but they are boys soon to be men lol ????
Keep posting love the pics
I don't clip her nails bc she fights me on it and it causes her too much stress, but I do file her nails down twice a week so they are short. I've been told by others that she's really well behaved and calm. She has her moments where she's wild, haha
Your such a good owner filing them twice weekly Tina
My boys are so used to their feet clipping etc for me thank god....wouldn’t have the time to the groomer
You both are so beautiful fresh clean like you both just came back from the beauty parlour
I’m not rocking that fresh young glow lol too many years gone by but my boys can absorb all the attention now.
Hey my boys have had a small skin irritation in the centre between the ears, round but still has hair but is persistent. Any ideas? I thought ringworm but the colloidal silver should’ve helped this but I will apply more frequently to see if this helps. I’ve read on this site that they have a sweat gland in that spot and thought nothing of it, just another skin reaction that’ll go away but it’s bothering me a little now.
I thought maybe too many kisses and a reaction to my lippy
Enjoys those smoochy moments. Moose is under the doonah and Memphis on top....I will awake to kisses and stretches and morning talk very soon
I hope the boys gave you a bunch of goodmorning kisses and cuddles
Billie hasn't had any skin irritation/rash in that area, so I have no experience with that. Hopefully the medication will help it heal quickly.
Here’s how the morning went
No need to bring a thing lol
They had a blast ????
I did get ‘goo ga ga’ with the boys lol so much of me talking to them
I hope you and Billy are loving it up.
It’s such a chilly night here so big cuddle time with me boys
I hope everyone is having a great day
The other morning I can hear distant ‘Memphis’ in the wind thought nothing of it as there was a school load of kids....and soon after surfaces a lovely elderly couple I see regularly, with their little dachshund X who loves my boys.... who would’ve guessed. And he doesn’t like many dogs
Nice one Dan
How are you and Billie doing?
All is good over here except Billie has a flare up on the bottom of her front paw. I've been rotating her treatments with diluted apple cider vinegar and medicated solution. I hope it clears up soon. How are you, Moose and Memphis?
We’re doing fine Tina. I still have those spots on top of their heads which doesn’t get worse but doesn’t get better either.....annoying
I mentioned before that the rusting between Moose’ paw is still present, better than past months but stubborn to eradicate, the infected paw is 95% better but something in his diet/environment triggers it. I can live with this as long as he is happy, exercising, gaining weight/looking healthy. I haven’t had another spasm and haven’t taken him to the vet either. I feel guilty but not confident with any outcomes just my $$ going
I will need to go to cancel his July desexing appt. so I’m stretching out the visit as I cannot really afford it either.
It’s wild and so windy today, raining and tomorrow doesn’t look any bettet
Wish me luck getting Moose out the door tomorrow....Memphis is easy.
Wishing Billie a speedy foot recovery and stay safe Tina
Pics of Moose doing the watchdog thing
Those are great pics of Moose!! They love to see what's going on! Im glad to hear he's getting better!
