    Bilbo arrived yesterday and poor fellow seems a bit bewildered by all these changes in his life. He was very restless at first, watching the door constantly and jumping up when he heard anyone come or go :cry:

    He’s settling more now and is a very easy chap to have around. He loves other dogs and is not taking Holly’s grumpyness personally, always prepared to forgive and forget!

    Loves going for walks, not very well schooled on the lead, but so small it’ll be easy to train him. Difficult to get good pics of him and he looks much larger in photos than he is. He has a very long, silky coat, it makes him look much stockier in photos, he’s actually a very small boy, at 7 months he’s fully grown. Seems to love running to fetch balls so late request put in to Santa for a new ball. Here’s hoping ;)

    Bilbo had a great Christmas and loved all the people coming and going. He startles a little at loud noises and sudden movements, but is settling in well. He’s no trouble at all, house-trained, doesn’t chew things, just loves to potter about with us. He loves racing around the garden, going at top speed, skimming by Holly, close enough for her to snarl but not close enough to get a nip ;) He adores going for walks, gets excited when he hears the noise of the lead being taken down. I’ve stopped taking him to the park as he wants to go play with every dog we see. When we road walk he trots along nicely and we both get our exercise! Unfortunately I’m going away soon so he’ll have another move, but whoever takes him will find him a very easy house guest.

    Well I collected Bilbo yesterday from Barbara, he is a lovely little fella and there was great antics yesterday especially with Bonnie who is loving having someone to rough and tumble with, we went for a walk yesterday afternoon and I chanced letting him off the lead to have a good run with our two, and he was fine, did make a dash for it every now and again but alway came back. He slept all night not a peep out of him which is great seen as he was in a strange environment, he will really make someone a super pet, will take some pictures of him tonight.

    Well Bilbo has been with me for a few days now, and what a lovely little fella he is full of personality, and has settled in very well, sleeps really well at night time and a happy little fella during the day, and always looks very happy to see you. He is definitely house trained as he has had no accidents in the house at all, he will make someone a really lovely pet with very little effort. He is going to have his little op next Wednesday and then hopefully it won’t be long before he find his forever home and has no more disruption in his life, he is certainly a dog that will give back loads to you in bucket fulls.

    Well Bilbo had his little op yesterday and is recovering well, so he will be sporting his cone of shame for the next 10 days. He is still a pleasure to foster and has settled in really well, he really deserves a lovely home is his great with other dogs and children and totally house trained so he will make someone a wonderful pet, hopefully he will not be waiting to long for his forever home.

    Well just a little update on Bilbo, he is recovering well from his op and we discovered at the weekend he loves children and people, we had my all my family for dinner on Sunday and he was just fantastic he loved the kids and behaved himself very well he was a little overcome with excitment when he saw everybody arriving but only in respect of jumping up to greet everybody as they came in, once he got over the excitment he was great and played really gently with all the children. After the weekend I would have no hesitation in recommending him to a family with children.

    Well Bilbo was vaxed and chipped last night and not a flinch out of him we could not believe it he just sat there as placid as anything, Kathy couldn’t believe how small he is compared to what he looks in the photos brought Bonnie and Dexter with me for the ride and the three of them were as happy as larry coming home thanks to Kathy and her bag of treats.

    Just to let everyone know that Bilbo met is new forever family yesterday and they all got on famously, he will have a lovely older sister called Tara who funnily enough is the exact same colour as him, who is sure to put him in his place and teach him some manners. We will be sad to see him go and Bonnie is going to miss him as they have become so close but I am sure it wont be long until we get our next recruit.

    Well I am a sad little bunny today as I had to say goodbye to Bilbo this morning as he is heading off to his new family at lunchtime today and I had to go to work, we will really miss him around the place as he is such a lively little fella with bundles of personality. Last night himself and bonnie were wrapped up in one another when they slept so I would say she is going to miss him terrible when he goes today. :( :( :( :( . I know he will be really happy in his new home and he is going to a lovely family but it is still hard to say goodbye.

    Hi There,
    Just wanted to let you know that Toby (formally Bilbo) is doing great.
    He has settled in great here and is getting on great with his big sister Tara. He is so excitable and is enjoying his walks, he bounces around as soon as he sees his lead. Here is a photo of himself and his big sis having a well deserved rest after a day of running around and chewing slippers.

    They look like a good match colour wise.
    One little and one large. ;)
    They really look like they had a busy day.
    It’s really great to see them so happy and contented so soon.
