This sweetheart arrived on Thursday, a nervous and confused little guy as he’s spent some time alone and then ended up in the pound. He’s a very very gentle fellow, loves to get any affection and is really playful. He will happily retrieve a ball for ages in the garden, likewise fetching a soft toy in the house and having a wrestling match with it.
It’s always difficult to get a good photo of dark dogs, he has a lovely soft coat and has traces of silver running through it, giving him a slightly brindled look at times. He has a handsome, square face and lovely sticky-up ears.
He’s settling quickly into my house, absolutely loving his walks. Great on and off lead – he quickly became very attached to me so, on his first walk in the park, I allowed him off-lead …. a treasure, he just trots a little ahead but keeps checking I’m there and races to me when I call. He’s happy about meeting other dogs, he seems docile with them. He hates to be left alone, I can imagine him enjoying the company of another dog. Unfortunately I can only keep him for 2 weeks, so he’s got to negotiate yet another change. But it’s wonderful to see him settling and gaining confidence. I took him to town in the car today (weekly breakfast in Kilkenny shop, he loved his sausage!) and he trembled and shivered with terror at first, but after a few minutes he relaxed in my arms and now hops into the car. He seems really keen to please so I expect great things of this little man!
IMG_0797.JPGJust as I thought, this little guy is proving to be a total winner. He’s wonderful company, really playful and affectionate, but not a nuisance. He’s just happy when he has company – settles down by my side and snoozes until I move. He’s very well-behaved in the house, doesn’t jump up on furniture unless invited, doesn’t pester for food, he just gently brings his toy over to invite us to play!
He doesn’t like being left alone and our strict no dog sleeping upstairs rule has had to be broken as he howled when left in the kitchen. However, he is quite happy to lie in his basket on the landing, happy just knowing we’re nearby. He never leaves his bed, even when we go to the bathroom on our old-person nightly visits, he doesn’t react until I go to him in the morning.
He had his first trip to the beach today and loved it, racing around like a puppy in big circles. He comes instantly when called, really a very good little boy.

He has settled so well into his new life, is now inseparable from new sister Pip, and he’s a much-loved little fellow. He’s bringing joy and happiness, just as he did here. I was half-hoping she’d give him back
but no way!Another wonderful DID story – the bedraggled, confused little guy in the first photo turns into a prince! Magic.
