Tony is continuing to be a very good boy. He goes to his bed at human meal times, generally stays out of the kitchen, gives kisses on request (as long as there is a treat afterwards) and generally does as he is told. He has now decided that he loves cats and could eat at least three, at one sitting. He does not mind other breeds of dog, unless they are aggressive towards him or get too close. He loves to play with his dad and attacks him every night when he gets home, but when his mum appears (behind dad) he stops playing and lies down, leaving his dad wondering what's going on (I wonder who is the top dog in this house?). He is now eating well and we think he might have put a few grams on (work in progress). All in all he is a really lovely boy, gets on brill with Ripple and after two weeks of fostering it was obvious there was no way we could be successful foster parents, but what a wonderful way to fail.

Ok - Princess was due to go back to the kennels today.... but guess where she still is?! She is being a perfect house guest and was very settled when I had to go to the hospital this afternoon and Wolf Run training this evening..... she has been fast asleep on the window seat. She is adorable!

Jeff , sounds very like ours we can open their room to outside, which is great cos when we all out our nieghbour lets them out and we can lock the inside door. Again i would say consider a glazed door of some kind( between the house and them) the difference since we swapped is huge- we all know how nosey greys are! or it could be they dont feel so closed in.

Ada
I’m Homed
I went to see Ada yesterday evening and she was much more settled with the Chinchilla! Since being left I was told she had watched a film whilst curled up on the sofa, eaten her dinner and had a play! Personally I find it so hard to leave a dog that has been living in my home and been so involved in - I find I become even more protective especially after all Ada has been through with her recovery.... I guess that's why so many join the Failed Foster Club but I am being strong this time!

Carla
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Thanks NMD07 , thats what I was looking for , there is a little bit of method in my madness as Carla is a tad chewy and has gone through amongst several things which include carpets and my bed , some electrical cable which luckily was off , well it was the vacuum cable and then an extension cable . The idea is to make a safe warm comfortable space for them which is not too distant from the feel of the house and introduce them to it very slowly , Carlas destructive habits seem absolutely random but seems to happen at about one episode per week , despite my best efforts with diet and leaving treat balls and toys and walking her for much longer and on different routes ,it seems good for a few days then I come home to an upside down house , Ive never had a dog that's chewed before , so any advice on that will be welcome , I'd like to get to the route cause and stop it to be honest

Prince

Great to hear how well Prince got on in the park with Joyce. :)) love the photos! He spent today in the big run by the kitchen and was brilliant, very little barking and shared his space with two visiting pet greyhounds with no trouble at all. Xxx

Prince
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I love this boy so much!! I worked with Prince during the Tony Knight training course last weekend and I took him for a little trip to the park yesterday to continue our training, I have to say the change in him from the start of the training to now is simply amazing!! At the start of the training course he was quite keen but yesterday it was like walking a different dog. No pulling on the lead, no barking at other dogs, at one point a squirrel was directly in front of us but that didn’t faze the gorgeous Prince he simply walked with me once I’d changed direction (Tony Knight training tip, stop, start, change direction!) We encountered many different breeds on our walk yesterday, some very small and fluffy; Prince simply walked the other way with me or passed the other dogs with no issues. He really is picking up the training very quickly. I will continue taking Prince to the park for little day trips and to progress with his training until he finds his forever home. He really is the most gorgeous loving boy and I am certain he will make a family very very happy!!
