Bonnie is such a lovely girl. We had her out on Wednesday with our own chap when she had only just arrived in the pound and again on Thursday. We’re just waiting to hear back about whether we will be the lucky ones who get to take her home.
Hi again from Truman’s new pack. After going to Ashton to walk a few dogs there we then brought Truman for a lovely long walk in Glendalough. He had a great time practicing recall on a long leash and showing off his agility skills. We took a few pictures and have tried to attach them here. I hope it works because he gave us some great poses.
We have had Truman three weeks now and it’s hard to believe how much he has learned and how well he has settled in. We brought him to meet my folks and their Doberman yesterday. It looked like he thought all his Christmases had come at once, being free to gallop around the house after her. Just like us they fell in love with him immediately and have even offered to dog sit if we can ever bear to be parted from him. They bought him a "virtually indestructable" chew toy as a present and as I’m typing this the clever so-and-so has figured out how to chew through it. We brought him to the beach for the first time yesterday, he wasn’t too impressed with the waves, until I took him on the lead and then he thought it was a great idea to drag me in up to my knees!!!! He was much happier galloping up and down through the sand dunes and dragging us along behind him!!
Hi all,
Just a quick update on Truman. He’s been with us a week and it has been a rather busy week. He’s been settling in quite well,learning the rules,like not biting us or trying to take over the couch. He was neutered on Monday,no problems at all. He’s been for walks along the canal,and through the overgrown fields close to home. He’s doing really well on the lead,until he meets another dog. He’s a bit too keen to make new friends,but he’s learning. He figured out how to slip his collar yesterday,the cunning brat! Luckily he’s been off the lead and is quite good at returning. We were very kindly given a harness for him today. Truman took to it straight away. We went for a fair old trek today,to the Hellfire Club and around Masseys Wood. He’s fearless! No hesitation crashing through the gorse and undergrowth,confidant leaping fallen trees and splashing across a stream.
I think we were fortunate in finding him,his temperment is ideal,not too mental not too placid. When it comes to his exercise needs,as demanding as he is,it’s fine. I’m home during the day so he get’s a long stroll along the canal or the outskirts of this tiny village and some obediance training. When "herself" gets home he’s all set for another walk around the estate or the village. We both enjoy quieter activities like hill walking and exploring beaches,Truman seems like he’s going to enjoy them too.
We’ve a few more pictures of him,if anyone would be kind enough to post them,we’d appreciate it.
C and COh,we’ve some pictures we’d like to post,but can’t figure out how. We’d be happy to email to a moderator or anyone who’d be able to post them.
Just a quick post from Tyson’s new home. Or Truman as he’s now known. He’s been learning the house rules and exploring his new surroundings with gusto. He seems to be settling well,such a clever dog. He can be rather excitable tho,and a little nipper,but we’ve already started his training to stop that. He’ll be off to obedience classes once he’s recovered from the snip and a little more sure of his place in his new pack. Today he came for a walk along the canal banks,and in the canal briefly. While typing this he’s streched out half in and half out of his bed. He’ll be out for a romp shortly,then an early night before the vet tomorrow.
And we’d like to thank the DiD volunteers for their offers of support and help,it’s very much appreciated.
