Over the Rainbow Bridge
Just a quick update on James (who is now called Jack). Oh my, he is absolutely wonderful, such a good boy who took about 20 mins to settle into his new home. He and his new brother Dexter (greyhound) get along fine, few grumbles (from Dexter) but nothing Jack cares about, he just ignore s him so Dexter just walks away which is funny. He had a fantastic first night, no problems, he loves his beds, good and walks and is going for a nice long walk then a coffee with 3 more Greys this morning. Happy days xx

Harry
I’m Homed
Hi all, I've popped online to give a little update on Harry and his progress. He's doing super, it's taken time, but as I was working from home, it was easier to find his patterns of behaviour. He's still a little nervous which we've now narrowed down to wheels of pram, motorbike or bycicle nature and moving carrier bags, which a person is carrying for example. At home, he's amazingly quiet, extremely polite and a real couch potato. We've been occassionly emailing Ruth with snaps of him out and about with Milo and they get on super. Each respect each others space, so whilst Harry prefers to sleep on a sofa or a comfy bed on the floor in the lounge, Milo will go and spread himself out on the landing or daughers bedroom, where they both have a comfy quilt bed each, that they use when they pop in to see her and end up spending the afternoon snoozing on. They both get their checkups with Swinfen vets, who spoil them both and us when we visit for worming and the quarterly checkup and Harry has gained over 2kgs in 3 months. He loves his pilchards and peanut butter and treats in his Kong. I can't believe how much him and Milo get on. He smells everthing, a real nosey parker on walks, sniffing everything. He is very affectionate with Milo and vice versa, esp in the morning when Milo comes down. Harry will lick his face and ear(s) and runs round in cirlces as if Milo as has been away for months lol... They'll sleep on the same sofa if Harry budges up for Milo and vice versa and they very rarely go out alone and so are always together on the lead. Sometimes Harry doesn't want to go out and rolls over bk to sleep, so Milo is walked alone, if he's asked/barked to go out, but its not very often ..... We love them both to the moon and back and wouldn't change Harry for all the tea in China. He's needed time and time is what I have had to spend with him and a calm dog like Milo to teach him to 'chill out' and relax more. It took him over 2 motnhs to show us his first roach, as it was only then that we really saw his true character come out. With the very high winds around Staffordshire these last few days, the boys are well and truly snuggled down, Milo on the sofa and Harry on his usual bed. If he wants his bed and Milo's snoozing on it, he bark at Milo to budge off or move over lol, you can be sure of that .... Sending all our love to you all at Daybreaks, we must bring them both on the monthly walks occassionally, now Harry has settled in too, though in the meantime, it's a big warm hug from us all here in Staffordshire and wishing you all a very Happy woofy Christmas 🙂 xx

Thankyou for your lovely wishes everyone. Chris is settling in and he loves his comfy sofa. He has fell off it a few times too. Everything is a new experience to him in the house, but I am sure he will get used to all the noises. He is loving his walks, with new smells, sounds and dogs to meet. Also has been clean in the house, with no accidents. What more can I say other than we love him. I have posted a pic of him on the facebook page too.
