Barney
I’m Homed
Barney has had a couple of eventful days. Most importantly, Ceasar come to us to stay so that meant some adjusting for all. Luckily Barney had met Ceasar on Saturday so he already knew him. This made it all nice and easy. To be honest, I think Ceasar may also have a positive impact on Barneys behaviour. The two together are also playing and running around, really nice to see. They also share the bed upstairs and downstairs. They get on so well together. Barney loves being outside, specially when the sun is out. He simply goes out in the garden and lies down in the grass to sunbath or watch our daughter play. He also likes to run around in the garden or for us two do the play bow. He actually has a strong deep bark. When I need to go out he is usually quickly at the door as he wants to come along, and Ceasar also does this so now I have two dogs who are keen to go for a walk. We had a number of walks on Monday and Tuesday. On Tuesday it was probably the most as we had our normal morning walk and additional walk along the canal and play in the garden together with Ceasar and then a walk to the Garage to pick up my car. He was fine with all these walks and still seemed to want more. With Barney it is a little surprising as he had a broken hock but he is able to do the walks. When he runs a bit to vigerously he may briefly limp but that is soon over. I was really impressed on Tuesday, during our walks we met a miniature poodle and whilst he was very interested he did not lunge at him. He did have a whine and a couple of brief barks. During the evening walk we come across a boston terrier and again he was interested but did not even bark or whine eventhough it was displaying excitable behaviour and not long after that a Charles Cavalier and Barney did not respond to that dog at all. In Fact it was Ceasar who got very excited with both. So this is all really good progress. His being on his own is also progressing well, again Ceasar may be helping here. But we do not have as much whining, howling or barking. This boy is ready for his forever home. He is a gentle soul, loves a cuddle, playfull and naughty. He enjoys the toys we took on Saturday, he does seem to have a preference for balls and fluffy toys. He will enjoy a family who will do activities with him or take him places. I can imagine him loving a nice sized garden (ours is not to big) where he can run around, have a dig or sunbath.

Oh caesar I am so pleased you've been fostered by Erik and his family as although I don't know him, love all his wonderful reports on his foster dogs and how perfect for you. Life can be so cruel but you're clearly in the right hands so who knows, I pray you get many more years xxx

Caesar
I’m a Sponsor Dog
We have had Ceasar on foster since Sunday. He has settled in really well. We did not do a lot on Sunday so he could settle and acclimatise to our home. Barney, our other foster, and Caesar seem to hit it off and like to play together. On Monday we did a couple of walks and including one with all 3 of them to the vet for Charlotte (our greyhound) I shared a funny photo of them at the vet. https://www.facebook.com/groups/15539565263/permalink/10157802045250264/?notif_id=1619466384186413¬if_t=page_post_reaction&ref=notif. Today, he had a canal walk and a walk to the garage. He found the garage very interesting. We also met several dogs and he is getting used to them. He is such a lovely boy, full of beans, wants to walk all the time and so playfull . Today he came to me and curled up against me just makes your heart melt. Live is not always fair is it?

Very sadly Chloe has been returned to the kennels today. She suffers from severe separation anxiety. Her owner has tried lots of different things to try to help her but feels her home situation is not right for Chloe. She says she is a wonderful girl and deserves a home more suited to her needs. She is very friendly, loves children....she also likes to help dig the garden! :)) Xxx

Samson had his neutering operation today. He was a very good boy in the car. Was interested in everything going on and stood most of the way to the vets, just looking out of the window. When we arrived there were a couple of people outside....one of the men asked if Samson was a Whippet 🙂 I had to smile because he is a big lad and not easily mistaken for a Whippet! He did say he was gorgeous, which of course he is! :)) He was very quiet when I picked him up later this afternoon, but still wanted to look out of the window on the way back. 🙂 He did enjoy his dinner before going off to bed. Sammy Samson is a really lovely lad, hope someone special will soon come along and take him home. Xxx

I felt so sorry for this gorgeous girl as she watched the other hounds going off for walks. She so wanted to join in. She is going to be a bundle of fun once she is fit again. She enjoys the company and especially fuss from humans. Cuddles for her xxx

What a beautiful young lad. He stood quietly to get leaded up for his walk and walked next to my knee on a loose lead, a little bit hesitant and very interested in his surroundings. On his afternoon walk he did get excited by a squirrel but was quite easily distracted I think he will make a brilliant pet. Loads of cuddles xxxx
