This is lovely to read - be a good boy Larry and learn to ignore those chickens, and you'll soon be welcomed into your new home I'm sure. These beautiful guys just need a chance to show what they can do in a home environment & learn some dos and donts!

Larry
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Larry update! We have had an eventful couple of nights, he had a good go at pulling everything he possibly could off the kitchen top on the first night, including a plate and a mug. He knocked over one of the kitchen stools (these were removed for the second night) and has managed to spill his water all over the floor a grand total of four times. He is also barking at night a little while after we all go to bed, but I think this is down to anxiety and stress as when I did go to check on him he was obviously quite worried and kept trying to get out of the kitchen and into the rest of the house. After barking for a little while though he does settle down and he doesn't bark for the remainder of the night / morning, which is excellent. We have had only one accident in the house and that was this morning, other than that though he has been totally clean. We left him for about 2 hours today whilst we went out and all he did was arrange his bed to be just right. Speaking of his bed, he seems to like sleeping on everything but it! He loves the rug in the lounge, the piece of carpet in the hallway and the kitchen floor tiles. He is a very funny dog, he'll just lie down wherever you are and he doesn't seem to care if it is a hard or soft surface. I think he does use his bed at night when he is in the kitchen, but if it isn't there he doesn't go out of his way to get to it. Larry is catching on very fast to the word "no" and responds very well to a firm voice and (if needed) a pull on his house / walking collar to get him away from whatever it was he was trying to get or do - most often kitchen top investigation. He learns fast and is starting to get the hang of recall now. As the days go by he gets keener and keener on the cat and he did his statue impression (which he does when he sees the cat) when a little dog passed us on our walk yesterday. So, by the looks of it, he may never be truly safe with small fluffy things but he could possibly tolerate them, we shall see how his training goes! If I still have him next week (which is likely) and the car is available, I will try to bring him to Saturday training classes as I think both Larry and I will really benefit from it. Larry is such a loving dog and he absolutely adores all his fuss and cuddles, he really likes a good brush too. He is very brave and can now do the stairs and isn't phased by them at all. The kitchen tops are getting less exciting by the day and he walks very well on the lead when out on a walk. I am sure that after he gets used to this 'home' lark a little more his stress will fade away and he will be able to cope better with things like being left in the kitchen overnight.

Gorgeous Buddy (or Nifty as we are calling him as we already have a Buddy in our care) is such a gentle, timid fella. He is worried about new people but soon gains some confidence with gentle approaches. He will be no trouble at all as a pet and is good with other breeds.

This little girl is an absolute live wire! She is 11 months old and a non racer as she was ill as a puppy. She has problems with her pancreas so needs a wheat and gluten free diet such as James Wellbeloved or Burns. She is so happy and playful!
