This is The Lady Radley (aka Handbaglady) bidding “Welcome” to all MM Linkers as I embark on my second round as Royal Setter. When I first joined AnswerBank, I almost chose the user name Rottie -- not for my fierce temper (I’m actually quite sweet tempered) but for my life-long love of dogs. My parents owned a cat called “Tinker” and would not allow me to have a dog (no matter how often I nagged them). However, about a year after getting married, my husband (John) and I became the proud owners of a German Shepherd named “Judy”. She had been trained as a rescue dog and soon became a family member loved by all -- especially by our daughter, Victoria.
When Judy went to Doggy Heaven, we were lost without a dog about the house, but were undecided as to what breed to have. That is, until John was working away from home and saw a Rottweiler, which was a rather rare breed in those days. After researching the breed, we decided it was the dog for us. It took us a year to find an available puppy. Having had two false alarms from kennels in Scotland, we found some puppies for sale at Weybridge, Surrey. Victoria had been disappointed so many times by these false alarms that we told her that we were going down to London on business, when in fact we were going to pick up the new puppy (which we decided to call “Sheba”). Sheba turned out to be a typical puppy, alert and full of energy.
