And the last few photo’s!
Thanks again to Emma who came for the home visit and was lovely, Alison for taking such good care of Toby, Sarah for delivering him and giving us really helpful info and finally all the help and support from Kathy. Dogs in Distress is such a great Recsue!!!!!
Panned out.JPGThe family.JPGThe family snoozing.JPGSo an update on Tanner. He was collected from Alison’s house yesterday morning by Sarah. I have to say, Alison has done such a wonderful job with Tanner. He is so healthy and so happy from all the care she has given him, and she was so helpful whenever I had any queries.
Sarah arrived on in her fine big van and gave me loads of helpful info. Sarah asked if we had a name picked for him, and I thought he might get confused if I changed his name but she reassured us he wouldn’t and it might be like, fresh name, fresh start So my teenage neighbour, who I’ve roped into walking the dogs as an after school job, picked the name Toby. He’s already reacting to it.
So we introduced my own dog Duchess to Toby in the driveway and brought them for a walk, and playing session in the local park. Needless to say they were exhausted after their walk and panned out for a few hours. Both of them looking for rubs and kisses, and thats exactly what they got Then the playing began Panned out again, another walk and panned out again.
Toby and Duchess slept in the same room last night and there was no bother on either of them. They know when to give each other space too which is good.
So this morning they played a little before an early morning walk in the local park. Toby is far fitter than myself and Duchess and he really set the pace. I think I’ve been giving Duchess long strolls rather than walks in the past. Well, I’ve no doubt Toby will keep us all lean with his fast strides
When we came home I really felt Toby and Duchess have really bonded as they kept playing with each other. Both are asleep at this very moment. But I feel I bonded with him from the moment I got him. He is so affectionate and loving. He follows me everywhere, and I’m just so mad about him.
Kathy has been so helpful over the last few weeks and really knows her stuff when it comes to the dogs. She has been great at keeping me updated on everything and very supportive throughout the process, so thanks Kathy!
So, now the part people have been waiting for, the photos!!!!!Toby 1.JPGGetting to know us.JPGDuchess and Toby 5.JPGIt is a concept that is so alien to me to dump a dog at the side of the road. Infact, any animal!!! Thankfully this puppy was found in time before anything happened to her. She looks lovely, and has a great name
I hope this gorgeous pup will find its committed, forever home soon.He is just such a gorgeous and affectionate doggy. Can’t wait to bring him home. Alison has done a wonderful job taking care of him. He is clearly a happy confident dog since he’s been with her. I’ll keep the thread going after he joins the family to show how he’s getting on
Passed my home visit on Monday and just dying to meet Tanner tomorrow evening. Bringing along my own Duchess (I knows its a funny name) and fingers crossed it’ll all go well between them. She is a golden retriever with a fantastic temperament and judging by Tanners description he’s just like her. She loves running around with other dogs she meets in the park, especially Labradors, so I think she’ll be mad about Tanner, and hopefully Tanner will like her too
