Caesar
I’m a Sponsor Dog
It has been a nice time so far. The two foster boys really enjoy their walks so it can be 3 normal walks and a short walk to pick-up Sofia. Caesar is learning about the area and enjoying what he sees. He is such a curious boy. During the walk he is mostly with his head up walking tall being very attentive to all that he sees. Last weekend was an adventure weekend, we had to go to Northamptonshire, which is an hours drive away. He was very good in the car stood up initially but then settled down. It was his first long drive with us mind you it was my first long drive. He took it in his stride. As Charlotte (our Greyhound) has been there before she was a nice relaxed companion her Caesar. There are two Italian Greyhounds there and that was stressful for Caesar. He did really well, he is getting better with other breeds. We had no incidents or lunges, I think Caesar was sometimes more scared then the Italian Greyhounds. When we did an evening walk it was interesting how his instinct kicked in. The 2 Italian Greyhounds were of the lead and running around having fun. As you can imagine Caesar wanted to join in and got very excited. We also have been doing some recall training with Caesar. He is making progress with that, his manners in the house are also improving. I am trying to calm his manic eating down with placing a cup over his food so it is a bit more effort. He has worked out that he can lift the cup and get to the food that way, Barney has not figured this out yet. We picked-up Barney from the Kennel. I am not sure but Caesar really did not like going into the office. He is happy standing outside, I could only get him in briefly with a treat. He even prefers to stand in the rain then be in the office, hahaha. Today He was happily relaxing in the office lying on a comfortable bed 🙂 Yesterday morning Caesar throw-up a couple of times. I am not panicking, it is what sometimes happens, but during the walk he was also a bit less enthusiastic then what he would normally be so I just give him some more cuddles. Today, Barney and Caesar had a fight, Caesar trying to muscle in Barney’s food, I suspect, I had to get in there quick to avoid injuries. Barney has shrugged it off but Caesar is a sensitive soul and was quite offended, his pride has been hurt. This afternoon they are happily lying next to one another as if nothing happened.

George
I’m Homed
George travelled very well, we left at about 4:30 and got home at about 8:30 with a stop at Taunton Deane services for a biiiiiiig wee and a leg stretch. He has settled in well, lots of exploration this morning and has met our daughter's 17 year old terrierist without any issues. We have been very lucky to have found him, he is just what we had been looking for. And a big thank you to the folks we met yesterday, everybody was friendly, helpful and clearly cared a great deal about the dogs. A great experience, thank you.

Daybreaks Diary!
I’m Homed
Jake went off with Ruth first thing this morning for his neutering operation. He bounced back into the kennels later this afternoon! He seemed a little uncomfortable, but still managed to eat his dinner. He will be going home on Thursday. :)) Phoenix arrived mid morning. What a very sweet lad he is. Thanks to Lucy for the great photos of him. Ruth and Dave made two trips to the tip! 🙂 it's looking a lot tidier around the kennels now. :)) George had a visit from a lovely family who had travelled all the way from Cornwall to meet him. They brought their little dog with them and although a little wary of George, he was marvellous with her. Needless to say they all fell in love with George and he has gone home with them. :). Xxx We had visits from some old friends to use the sand run, so lovely to see Lisa and her beautiful Shandy. 🙂 Xxx Thanks so much to everyone for their help today. 🙂 Xxx

Paddy
I’m Homed
Paddy is settling in so well, he's happy to be alone, he's happy with a fuss. He's a dream on the lead. He's met lots of local dogs including 3 greyhounds. No toilet incidents whatsoever. He saw the TV come on and wasn't a fan but we'll slowly try again soon.

Miles (Hagar)
I’m Homed
Hagar paid his first visit to Elmdon Park today and although he is a quiet shy boy in the kennel he came to life in a very happy way while in the park and loved every minute of his time there. After initial curiosity he met several other breeds with no aggression whatsoever. He travelled well in the car although he did have to be lifted in. He was a pleasure to take out and I'm sure he's going to be a fantastic addition to his future home
