Boo’s in flying form, he’s been going to agility and absolutely loving it. We also started doggie obedience training on Thursday and had a great evening. He’s so smart he’s picking up on what I want him to do really quickly but he’s still leaping into the air with enthusiasm when he gets excited He met our new foster dog Holly today and is a bit perplexed at her arrival, he can’t understand why she doesn’t want to play every single second of the day… He’s become a bit obsessed with herding birds in the sky, funny to look at but it takes over his walks at times so we’re trying to distract him as much as possible. I think another dog is just what he needs at the moment.

Boo’s doing really well at the moment, he just graduated from doggie obedience class this week:-) He’s learned how to sit, stay, leave, walk on a loose lead and recall. He’s so smart he was picking up on the tricks in only two or three goes and he got to the point where I can put food on his paws and he won’t touch it! He had an eye infection this week but it seems to be clearing up. He’s currently running at full tilt around the garden with his nylabone so I don’t think he’s feeling under the weather at all.

Well, other people said it was a done deal a while ago but this weekend I realised that Boo had snuffled his way permanently into my heart and that he was well and truly my dog. Let this be a lesson to all fosterers, if they stay for a little while, it becomes impossible to say goodbye! I guess it came down to a change in my circumstances that allowed me to commit to giving Boo the best home I can, he’s my mate when I go walking, rollerblading, hiking and I couldn’t ask for more. I promise I’ll live up to my end of the bargain Boo, no more moving homes for you, where I go, you come too I’m looking forward to years of fun with this wonderful dog, he was at the vet today and she said he was so relaxed it was hard to examine him, he kept falling into her arms for cuddles!
