Re: Bobby (Cookie) Red Fell Terrier DofB 2014 Chessington
So it’s been just over 5 months since Bobby came home with me .
I can’t remember life without him. He’s such a joy, he makes me laugh so much.
He has an obsession with SOCKS, TISSUES and is a Hoover when it comes to food .
He LOVES his toys and balls , especially piggy and when I ask him to go find it he does just that. He’s a very clever boy.
He’s very cheeky but that’s what I love about him. When he knows he shouldn’t have something , like my socks he gives me a side glance and runs away with it . Same with tissues but he will let me prize his jaw open so I can take it from him.
He is my shadow , everywhere I go he goes .
He loves his walks in the woods , the parks with his besties Beau and Stella ( ex RR) . Billie ( beau ‘s sister) sadly passed away a few weeks back so we all miss her dearly ( Terry Hopson dog) but Stella is fitting in well and they all walk so nicely together , like they’ve been mates for ages . Bobby stays by my side all the time except when he sees a squirrel .
Now rain is a different story ! A hint of water falling on him and he refuses to go out . He’s much rather be snuggled up on the sofa with piggy . Such a DIVA!
As for the cats it’s all going well. He has his moments of resource guarding but that’s terriers for you ... Charlie the oldest cat doesn’t take any nonsense as he’s the head of the house ( not me!) and he will give him a swipe if bobby’s Out of line . It’s comical though as it’s so gentle , he’s just keeping Bobby in line .
Bobs says hi to you all . I’ll post some photos
Best wishes
Jo, Bobby, Charlie , Teddy, Billy

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY BOBBY!( AKA cookie )
1 year ago today I remember signing the form and going in to harness up Cookie ( back then ) and him probably just thinking we were going for our weekly walk . Little did he know he was coming home with me and my 3 cats forever.
Bobby makes me laugh every day and has really enhanced my life .
He’s got his typical terrier traits which I love about him and he has the loveable staffie side to him aswell. ( I’m pretty certain he has staffie in him)He loves his cuddles and craves attention if he isn’t getting any, nuzzling his nose in if I’m on my phone texting , he hates me being on my phone
He’s made some good friends in Terry Hopson’s dogs Beau and Stella , Rachel Slama’s Carms and Nada Chebib steffie.
We’ve had our tough times where he started resource guarding In the home but we worked through it, changed the dynamics with some advice and help from a behaviorist friend and I now know how to manage it which has done wonders for us all.
Teddy my huge white cat likes to join us on our walks to a certain point then waits for us to come home again.
Bobby is really good with the cats although gets particularly jealous when they want some cuddles too.
My cats have happily accepted bobby as part of the family and they all have each other which is lovely .
I wouldn’t be without my lil dude , I love him to bits and we have so many more adventures to look forward to ....
He loves my mum and dad , Oh and his best human in the whole world is not me it’s Patricia Thompson ! He adores Pat like a long lost friend x
