Mitch is staying with me at the moment. Its only short term B&B as I am unable to keep him beyond Thursday morning. He would suit a home where someone is looking for a companion or even suit a family as I believe he is fine with children. He is probably feeling overwhelmed with the change in suroundings and he is doing really well. He is very gentle and incredibly easy to handle, I have picked him up, pulled him back, had to grab him by the scruff and no problem at all with that. In fact we have had to be very intimate with each other due to the fact that he is fixated on my cat. Although his tail wags every time he sees her I would not consider Mitch a cat lover, so best to avoid that combination. As has been suggested, he is probably best suited to a foster/home where he is an only dog. If anyone has been thinking of fostering, Mitch would be a great dog to start with. He is so affectionate and has a lovely personality.
October 28, 2009 at 7:09 pm #89148missymooMemberMitch is now staying with us. He arrived yesterday evening and only took about 10 mins to settle in He was a little nippy at first but with 3 other dogs in his face who can blame him He was off lead last night and was brilliant, didn’t wander too far at all and played really well with my boxer. He’s really friendly with people, loves chasing balls and is delighted with any attention. He didn’t sleep great last night but hopefully he’ll be a bit more settled tonight. Will post some photos soon.
October 28, 2009 at 7:57 pm #89155ladlesMemberWell little Mitch has gone to a great foster home. He is probably wondering what’s going on. He left his home, stayed with me for one night and now another new place. He is a lovely fella, he really does love people. He kept jumping up on my lap for cuddles. Thanks Mark for picking him up earlier than expected and thanks to both of you for kindly fostering him. He was just too much for my cat.

Enjoying the pigs ears from Marie!
Having a rest! You can hardly see him
A bit scruffy today, but hopefully he’ll be getting his new look at the Wagging Tail next week!
He’s a great cushion for JamieOctober 30, 2009 at 11:32 pm #89251ladlesMemberAhhh! the lovely Mitch. He looks as if he is getting on great with the other dogs. He will scrub up well, he was a bit smelly. This guy deserves the best new start in life. Looks as if he is getting spoilt with you, may that continue for Mitch in his next home. He is a lovely little dog.
October 31, 2009 at 12:13 am #89253DID RescueKeymasterMitch stayed with me when he first came out of the pound.
He was a great little man and mixed in well with ten other dogs at the time.
I am very sorry for him that he has been uprooted again and I am sure he is confused but he certainly has made himself at home with Maeve, Mark and family.
Love the photos Maeve they are really good.
They all look so content munching on their treats but the pillow is excellent.
Look forward to seeing the little man next week for his makeover…………………ten years younger and all that.
He will come back smelling of CK1 and be totally huggable.
His next home needs to be his last move for his sake.October 31, 2009 at 7:37 pm #89282missymooMemberI completely agree with Ann & Marie, this little guy definitely deserves a new start and loving family. He does not deserve to be shipped around again so his new family has to be his last. He has gotten on great with our dogs, and spent time today in a group of 6 dogs with no problems at all. Mark’s nieces and nephews all spent time with him, again no problems. He was even carried around by Mark’s niece which he loved She thought Mitch was Toto from the wizard of Oz He does need some work with sharing his treats with the other dogs but he has already relaxed a bit with this in just the few days that we have had him so I am sure that this can be worked on.
He can’t wait for the beauty treatments, and I’m sure he’ll have plenty of admirers when he’s all done! Although Jamie seems keen alreadyNovember 7, 2009 at 10:36 pm #89566ladlesMemberCan’t wait to see the scrubbed up Mr Mitch. He has such a sweet temperament, I know he’s gonna look gorgeous( not that he doesn’t already)
November 8, 2009 at 9:26 pm #89612missymooMemberThis fella was fab before his hair cut but he is now absolutely gorgeous thanks to Liz!! He loves his new cut and is prancing all around the house since he got home! We went to the Phoenix Park this morning and he amazed me by NOT going into all the puddles Hope these pictures show the tiger markings cause they’re really beautiful. He is so soft and cuddly now, no more wirey hair.
November 8, 2009 at 9:41 pm #89613missymooMemberMitch is getting on great with our dogs. He needs work on greeting other dogs outside the house as he barks at them all when on lead He seems much much better when off lead though. All he wants to do is sniff them and then the barking stops straight away He was really good at recall in the Phoenix Park today, he did bark at some of the other dogs just to say hello but never wandered far at all We’re still working on sharing treats with the other dogs but this has definitely improved. All I can say now is that he’s just gorgeous! He’s fast asleep, tucked up beside Basil
November 8, 2009 at 10:39 pm #89621ladlesMemberThe photos of Mitch with his new haircut are lovely. Thanks so much for posting them up.

Mitch’s favourite position is to lie out with legs stretched out behind him, just chilling His coat is still fabulous as you can see! He is just such a lovely little character. He will follow me around the house forever God love him, and I feel terrible every time I move cause he feels he has to get up to follow me He loves to play with the other dogs now and will sit in front of them when they’re sleeping whining and pawing their heads so that they’ll play with him He’s just so cute!!November 24, 2009 at 8:07 pm #90370missymooMemberMitch has gone to his forever home today I am so happy for this little guy, he is just so great. Just two hours gone and I’m missing him so much already He has gone to a lovely lovely home and I’m sure that this time he’ll be adored Good luck to Mitch and to the Kavanaghs too
