I have to go to UK to repair and decorate my cottage in Scotland which was trashed by the last tenants. I'm not keen on taking Charlie there, as the cottage is on a very busy road and he has no road sense. There is also no fenced in area where he could be confined so I would need to supervise him every time he goes outside. This would be no problem if it was a holiday trip but I need to be working quite intensively on the cottage.
I wondered if anyone could cope with an extra dog for a few weeks? He tends to sleep for about 20 hours out of every 24 but he can be quite demanding for the remaining 4 hours! He is very placid and always wants to be friends with other dogs.

If you don't have time to spend with them and don't have a fenced yard please do not consider a Jack, they can utterly destroy your house if they get bored. You must keep them occupied.

And this sorry looking fella is Poochie a Pumi of some description apparently, he was a stray from the village that we slowly began to feed although struggled to get him to come in to the house to clean him up. A while ago he just disappeared and we feared the worst. Just a few months ago we returned home and found him sat on our doorstep over a year after he had wondered off. He was emaciated (he weighed half of what he should), dirty, had all sorts of infections and infestations.

A few months on and loads of food, TLC and plenty of vet visits and a trip to the doggie hairdresser he is now part of the family!

I'll refrain from adding loads of pictures of the varying amounts of cats that call our wee corner of Hungary home

The poor little thing was still alive with a broken back I guess as it couldn't move its back legs. I was going to put it out of its misery with the help of a metal shovel when it took off at great speed using only its front legs and I couldn't find it.
Anyway, could it have been a wild hamster? It's head didn't look like a hamster's but I haven't seen markings like that on other mice.
