It is with great sadness that we have had to have Sheila put to sleep. Sheila collapsed this morning and was unable to get back up, the vet thinks she had suffered a stroke and the kindest thing to do was to let her run free at rainbow bridge, where she will be with Nicky. Lass will miss her greatly. Sweet dreams Sheila, we will miss you xxx

Larry
Over the Rainbow Bridge
It is hard to resist fostering them, as I have so much free time over my uni summer holidays and helping these wonderful dogs is how I want to spend it! As for Larry, I am so pleased with the guy, he only howled twice for a very short period of time last night and he soon settled down after that. He did have an accident in the kitchen, but it is only his second ever so I am still really happy with him. He is starting to put on a little more weight and a nice gleaming black coat is just creeping through. With some daily brushing I am hoping that his coat will come through even faster and the hair will regrow over his bum. Larry has managed to get me well trained too! He adores his chest, in between his front legs, being scratched - so whenever I go to sit down next to him and give him a fuss he lifts up his paw so I can give that part of his chest a good itching. Last night he also really enjoyed his belly being scratched softly in circles and it sent him to sleep, bless. He is such a loving dog and really does cherish all the time you spend with him.

Meggie is doing really well and seems very happy. She has now attended a few roadshows and is an excellent "advert" for our beautiful breed.

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.
