Kenny – 10mt old terrier x – HOMED

[kaydoyle]

Here’s Kenny! He’s a lovely sunny natured dog, loves being around people. House trained and generally very easy to have around. He’s a little nervous when out for walks, hasn’t been used to lead walking but seems to love it. Loves my dog, generally a very happy little chappie!

Kenny came to stay on Sunday and he’s a terrific little fellow. He’s probably less than a year old and seems to have been well looked after as he’s trusting, confident and house-trained. He’s a completely happy chappy and is so well behaved. He has no bad habits that we’ve discovered (except for having a penchant for stretching out on the kitchen table when left alone in the kitchen, but he and I have discussed this and he’s really trying to resist the temptation), doesn’t jump up or scratch at our legs, he’s just great.

His tail is always wagging, even when the Queen of Mean Holly goes for him, he runs off with tail swinging. Not used to the collar or to going for walks I think, he’s uneasy when big buses or even people pass, but recovers immediately and tail starts swinging again. Very good on lead and I’ve been letting him off on football pitches in park, he stays close, bounding round non-stop, trying to get the Queen of Mean to play.

For a little guy (he’s smaller than he looks in pic) he has great stamina and then collapses on his bed when we get home. One of these days the Queen will deign to play with him and his little doggy heart will burst with happiness.

Kute Kenny!

Pat Kenny as we’ve taken to calling him (he’s klever, kwick and cute, just like PK) is terrific. He just loves EVERYTHING, but especially going for walks and fetching a ball – he’ll do that for ages, enthusiasm never wanes. He runs all the time, as though rushing to the next adventure. He loves being off-lead and races around the park, so much of it has now been claimed by him as he pauses to mark it out . Despite his size he’s feisty and will make a great watch dog as long as propsective thieves don’t spot his little pint-size. He’s really handsome, his coat is jet black and shiney and his face and paws are foxy and cute. The underside of his tail is rusty coloured and he’s even cute from behind! Doesn’t appear to shed. He’s a smasher.

Two new experiences for Kenny today, the car – bit scarey at first -and the beach – soooo wonderful though he looked bit shocked as he raced into the water and found it wet and cold

He’s a real smoochy-pie, just loves being picked up for a cuddle or stretching out beside me on the couch, almost purrs with pleasure. He’s always ready for a play but if no-one’s available he’ll play happily with his toys, or just watch what’s going on. He won’t go upstairs which I think is great as asthmatic homes like mine need to keep pets out of bedrooms. He’s sensitive to tone and hates being given out to – had a couple of leg-cocking incidents, but not in the kitchen where he spends most of the time.

Whoever adopts Kenny will get a wonderful pet – loyal, playful, affectionate, great guard and just so easy to have around. The Queen of Mean is still taking swipes at him but he’s so perky he acts like she’s his best friend and her resistance is being overcome

Kenny has settled in so well it’s as though he’s always been here. He’s definitely the easiest foster dog we’ve ever had. He’s such a good, happy boy, he makes us all laugh and want to hug him Balls are his very favourite, he even tried to join a men’s soccer match in the park the other weekend He gets very excited when he sees the lead, but has learned to sit while I attach it and he’s well-behaved when out walking. No leg cocks in the house for several days, no hopping up on kitchen table, he tries to be the best dog ever …. and succeeds! Tears will be shed when he leaves us

Kenny was neutered, vaccinated and chipped and lost his zest for life for a couple of days . He’s back to his normal chirpy self again, absolutely loving his walks and buzzing around the house after me. I’m afraid I’ve done it again …. spoiling him rotten! He was so miserable at the weekend that I took him upstairs with me and he now thinks upstairs rocks! He’s also joined the fussy eating brigade in this house, definitely prefers his Royal Canin mixed with freshly cooked chicken. Hope he finds his new family soon or I’ll have him totally ruined Funny, he looks very big in photos, but is actually a tiny guy, with a big personality of course!

Hiya

Little kenny looks and sounds from your description adorable. :
I am just wandering what happens if I was interested in adopting him? First time to use the sight, sorry for my ignorance.

Look forward to hearing from you

Regards

Hi Bernie,

Go to "Forms & Downloads" at the top of this page, download the adoption application, you can fill it in online and e-mail it back. One of DID’s homing co-ordinators will contact you.

Yes, Kenny really is a winner. He’s great fun, I think he’s closer to 7months than a year as he’s full of energy and playfulness. He’s so affectionate and is just happy to potter around after me, alert little face always ready to anticipate movement. He’s discovered his bark and makes a great fuss when anyone comes into the house. He loves meeting other dogs when we’re out, I leave him off-lead in the park or on the beach each morning and even though he runs to greet dogs he races after me. He has incredible energy when in the park, for his little size he’s got some stamina. He and Holly have become great pals and have great toy-wrestling matches together.

Oh dear. This is all very bad for my soul! So many fantastic little terrier people.

He’s doing his corgi lookalike in one and engaging in his very favourite activity – ball-playing -in the other. He’s a real ballaholic, I have to avoid the park at weekends as he dives onto the pitches and jumps onto the soccer ball, absolutely refusing to let it go

When he hears the hall drawer open he’s out like a flash, hoping, just hoping, his lead will be taken out. If it’s visible, he hops up and grabs it, of course no-one can refuse his not-so-subtle ‘request’ for a walk! One of his ears has tilted to the side and he has the cutest, lopsided look. I’l have a serious chat with him before Saturday and warn him to be on his best behaviour, I’m continuing to spoil him so his manners are a bit less than perfect after 5 weeks with us

Kenny has had the great fortune of being adopted by a wonderful family with 4 lovely children. He went off to his new life in Leitrim yesterday and the house is so quiet without him. I just hope he’s having great fun and is behaving himself. Hope you’ve found a good hiding place for your Barbies, Gemma, as I think Kenny would have such fun tearing their hair off! Look forward to update on my little Pat Kenny.
