Barney
I’m Homed
We had some fun times with Barney. Monday evening he showed more of his playfulness. Barney and I were doing play bows and he would run away and comeback. He was playfully barking and then he would dash off again or have a dig and then run off again. He also enjoys the toys charlotte has, he particularly likes a fluffy bear and a fluffy pig. Barney is a really playful dog. He is also a naughty character. In our house he likes to take shoes, slippers or boots, depending on what takes his fancy. So you sometimes think you left your slipper in the normal place to then find one is not there and usually you will find it where Barney is lying down. He sometimes takes objects in his mouth, like a bucket or a washing-up bowl. On Wednesday I had to put together a bookcase, he also wanted to help but it was more of a hindrance and had to ban him from the study :-). He knows how to get things from a cabinet drawer. If part of a treat bag is portuding from the drawer he will try and pull it out. You need to have a sence of humour with Barney and not be to precious about your garden or items in the house, but he does make me laugh. I have started to do some home alone training with him. I deliberately take baby steps with him as he does whine now and then. He may just have a nervous temperament so, in order to build up his confidence and for him to understand that I may leave the house but I will come back. I do very small steps by going out for 10 seconds and then come back in again and slowly build this up with increasing timeframes. He is starting to respond more and better to his name. This is going quite quick and he is really responding well to me. He is reacting less to the vocal westy we have next door. Even when he is outside he is not automatically responding to the barks. Today we met a young Visla dog and whilst he whined and did a bark or two it was not that bad. We are making good progress with Barney. We have noticed that he is quite a clever boy. It has taken Charlotte (our Greyhound) 5 years to figure out that she can use her nose to open doors. Barney has already shown that learning. He has even figured out when he can push the child gate open. Normally we can shut the child gate and the is enough but with Barney we have to shut it and lock it, because he has understood that you can open the child gate if it is not locked. It is really nice having Barney around, he does keep you on your toes. He is always happy to go for a walk and loves his walks. Today he fancied himself as a narrow boat captain, whilst walking along the canal he just stepped on a narrow boat. He seems a very gentle soul with a playful and naughty streak to his nature. I think he would enjoy an active family. I noticed he is not getting much attention on his profile, which is a shame because as we are getting to know him he is a really great dog and will make the right family very happy 🙂

An overcast start to the day, thankfully this afternoon was brighter. Thanks to our Wednesday walkers for their help this morning and to Dave, Denise and Chris too (thanks for lunch Dave, it was lovely). Champ had a checkup with the vets after his neutering op on Monday, all looked well. He also had a dressing changed on his poorly leg, a follow-up appointment on Friday. He was such a good boy and I got to help the vet!!! He was so happy this afternoon and even started to get braver and a little bit cheeky! Thanks for all the donations of bedding and towels. So as always, stay safe and well everyone. X

Way to go Champ!! So sorry you have got an infection, but at least you have the compensation of stopping with Aunty Ruth for a bit. This will start to get you used to life in a home, and you'll get lots of TLC too. So happy for you my lovely boy. xx

So pleased Champ has been reserved! It will be a few weeks before he goes off to his new home. He is fine after his neutering op yesterday but he retired due to a broken hock which is sadly taking tine to heal and he is currently being treated for an infection. He will be staying with Ruth and Andy whilst he is being treated by our vet. :)) He spent the day sunbathing along with Caesar and Tony in the kitchen run. He is a really lovely lad. :)) Xxx

It was a lovely spring day! The dogs enjoyed their walks, it was great for them to not have to wear coats. :)) Thanks so much to Norman for taking Shane to the park. He had a great time. :)) Lucy took new photos of some of our residents, some were more cooperative than others! Xx Many thanks to Declan who spent the afternoon tidying up the area around the car park. Xxx We have had a delivery of new fleeces. 🙂 It has been quite difficult to purchase any during the last twelve months. They are plain in several different colours. We have sizes 28" and 30" with the smaller 26" still on order. They are £28. Please give us a call if you would like anymore details. Xxx Xxx
