He is such a handsome chap with lots of character and very very affectionate. He likes to climb onto your lap, flop and go to sleep.
He is very good in the car and fab on lead. Since a few days he is experiencing life off the lead and the difference is just amazing. His recall is getting better everyday and he never objects when he has to go back on the lead. His social skills are also improving daily and with ongoing guidance will become a perfect companion.
He really loves his obedience training lessons and is responding very positively now to all sorts of commands and signals. He loves a game of tug with us and his pals and is beginning now to play all by himself. He shakes the hell out of his teddys and then lets them fly all over the place which is halarious to watch.
Overall Basil is a great fella and with those big beautiful ears, he is just irresistable. SAM_1508.JPGSAM_1535.JPGSAM_1472.JPGWhat’s basil been up to?
This guy is fabulous.
Basils walks have become the most important thing in his life since he is walking off lead and can do things that dogs love to do. As soon as I go to pick my boots up he is sitting at the front door. His greetings with other dogs get less and less tense and he is beginning to play and fool around with them. His recall is also super. when I compare the first time I let him off the lead to now "wow"what a difference. Apart from being fussy about what he eats he is also an absolute pet at home. Here’s a few pics
SAM_1550.JPGSAM_1549.JPGSAM_1551.JPGGreat updates thank you.
Well done on the training, its great that he is getting an opportunity to iron out his little crinkles and be a better all rounder little man.
This is what fostering is all about helping them to fill in the gaps and learn to be a dog.I have adopted Fraggle in England. He is enjoying himself with my three dogs. I would love to know more about his history?
If I can work out how to post one I will put a new picture.I love the way he wipes himself on the carpet when he comes in from a wet walk and he is enjoying climbing on my lap for a great big snugly cuddle.
It definitely sounds like the same fellah if he is wiping himself on the carpet.
Here is a picture. I really hope it’s himFiona
SAM_1472.JPGYes Fiona it is him the same guy
Thank you to his new Mum for posting up on him, we are delighted to hear how our ex inmates are doing.
Please drop in from time to time and let us know how you are getting on.
If you look under Happy Endings and post in his name you will get the info on him while in foster.Sounds as though Fraggle is well settled!
Here is his page to save searching:Wow, lovely to know where Fraggle has gone and who he has become. A very happy looking chap named Basil in England. Thanks so much to his new family (Forever Home) for posting. It makes me feel just great to see a dog get an upgrade in life. Such a different looking little guy from the pound pictures.
