Another quiet night with Warrior "Steve", with one warning growl which I suspect was from Finn, as when my husband went down and checked Steve was trying to screw up Finn's blanket which we had moved away from his old bed which Steve has taken over! After that was sorted they gave us a "are you awake" whine at 7.30. He has not made any "puddles" in the house since we bought him home. I say puddles, but could be classed as small ponds when he does go !!! Never known a dog have such a long wee. Finn has been down the garden and back and Steve is still weeing lol Stand calling Steve and now I think the neighbours believe we have a lodger !!! I might have to take one in actually if Steve's appetite doesn't settle to help pay his food bill. He is still wandering around the house with me most of the day exploring. It must be such an exciting and frightening thing, all at the same time, the freedom after their previous life. He loves his new walks around the parks and is not worried by the traffic even on the main roads. So far has shown no interest in other breeds he has seen in the park even fluffy (come and get me ) small dogs. lol, Cannot say the same for squirrels! He is a very sweet boy who loves a cuddle and fuss and I am now attempting to make him wait at the kitchen entrance with Finn while I prepare dinner to be served in the breakfast room while I stand between them, as Steve has eaten his in seconds and would have no hesitation in going over to help himself to Finn's, who would let him have it!!! so think that's it for today's update and Steve has his head on my knee as I have been sat too long !!! lol Bless xx

Hi Monty’s hoomans here! We just want to say that Monty’s confidence is getting higher and higher. We are so proud of him and he is a delight. We have had him for 2 months now. That’s gone very fast by the way. However when we first had him he was a little unsure on walks and didn’t like other dogs as he was quite scared of them. Now he is completely different. His really enjoying his walks now and every time he goes out he is getting better and better. With dogs he now wants to play with them instead of avoiding them. We are very proud. He has also been excellent with everyone who has wanted to fuss him and give him attention. He is good with children too. He has been after mummy’s wine though. Back to Monty now to give him some fuss!

Hi Auntie Kate, the hoomans really thought about the winner but it was me in the end! I have a very happy tail. We also played games of bed swaps. That was fun. Unfortunately Florence has gone home now. It was lovely having her and we had loads of fun! I hope to welcome her back soon! Lubs Monty Xx

Oh my lovely boy, what a fun update for you! Sounds like you are embracing this "home life" thing head on!! Just remember to listen carefully to your Mum & Dad, and take an example from Finn - there is so much that's new and exciting isn't there, lots to learn. Really hope things work out for you. xx

Well, we survived the night with a few grumbles and barks early on. Then slept till 7 am. They were muzzled, which Finn was not too happy about but accepted. Finn wouldn't hurt a fly but I think he is a bit intimidated by this younger lothario when he gets too close, so safety first. Warrior (Steve) is a happy boy and at the moment is my velcro dog, following me everywhere and even wags his tail when I am telling him NO ! but goes to his bed (or should I say Finn's bed) lol when told. Soon realised the kitchen and I am the bringer of food, and counter surfing may become an Olympic for which he is in training ! Finn was always very subservient to Nina and think he is heading that way already with Steve! Poor old boy, I think he had just got used to stretching out across 2 beds and living life at his pace, but all in all, still have fingers crossed that this will be a happy union. "Steve" is just in love with new experiences and FOOD but after 1 day we can see he has the potential to be a loving sweet boy. xx
