Super smoochy Vernon has settled right in with us. He’s a real cutie-pie, soaks up every scrap of cuddle that’s a-going. Along with Vanessa, he’s a particularly gentle, sweet pup. He’s a little more daring, will venture the odd bark and run down the garden after Holly but she just turns around and he scampers back to safety. Going really well on the toilet training, thanks to ex-foster mum Jane. They’re both a credit to you Jane, well done.

My smoochy man Vernon is just adorable. He’s cute and funny, interested in everything and always has to be first into anything new. He’s also a remarkably gentle puppy, doesn’t bite, scratch or chew anything in the house. Had been calling him ‘Vernon Dog Piddle’ but lately he’s decided to follow Vanessa and do all his business outside. Smart, gorgeous pup, lucky people who’ll get him.

Oh he looks so so so cuddly….
Funny Vernon has learned to sit and now thinks it’s the key to all his interaction with me! So it’s ‘when in doubt, sit’. He’s so affectionate, following me all around, but also is very happy to potter about in the garden. Very, very good in the house, accepted that he’s confined to the kitchen, he’s a no-trouble-pup.

This little treasure arrived to us yesterday with his foster sister Vanessa and he is just GORGEOUS!! Definitely more daring than she is, he has already mastered Casper and is in the process of trying to tame Sam (Cas is a retriever cross and Sam is mainly Doberman so no mean feat, I can tell you!) He is full of beans but so affectionate and loving. They are both a credit to Jane and Barbara and anyone else who was involved in fostering them up to this – they are so well adjusted and healthy and happy and trusting. Vernon will be a great adoptee for whatever lucky family decide to adopt him. I will post pics asap.
Well Vernon met his lovely new family this evening and it was mutual love at first sight! He absolutely loved the attention of the children in the family and had his first trip down a slide!!! In the very secure arms of his new step brother. He will be heading off to his new life on Monday and we are so thrilled for him cos he deserves nothing less. All the best, little man.
Vernon is now reserved to his forever home. ![]()
Vernon left us for his new life this evening. We were sad to see him go but the Carroll family were SO excited to get him at last!!! He will be called Woody and I know he will have a fantastic life with them all. It was wonderful to have the opportunity to meet you and foster you even though it was only for a little while. All the best, my sweet little man!
