Well we have crossed all the hurdles. Scrappy and Harry are really the best of friends. They play chasing and tug of war all day. They got their first real sunny day last week end in the garden where they were really able to pick up some speed. We went from sleeping separately, to sleeping in the same room and last week end I couldn’t see the "Little One" (Harry aka "The Mad One"), looked round the room and there were the two boys, curled up together fast asleep. He has also found his voice, he knows he gets a chewy every morning, so runs to the "goodie" press and barks, he also barks if dinner is not coming quick enough. Problem is, he is trying to be so macho but he has the cutest bark which makes us laugh every time. Had his first visit to the vet last week for his booster, where he and Scrappy tried to show all the big dogs that they were not scared of them. It is unbelieveable that we only have him from February 2nd, he seems to have been with us always. Justine, thank you so much for looking after him so well for us, it made is so easy for him to settle in. You can rest assured that he is being pamper and totally loved.
Harry doing really well. At the moment, he and scrappy are running through the house playing "tug of war" with their toys. I have left Harry to sleep on the armchair each night as that is one of his favourite places to sleep and have brought Scrappy to his bed upstairs until they get used to each other, since the weekend Scrappy has decided that he wants to sleep downstairs with Harry! He is totally house trained now, no accidents. We are so amazed that he has been home with us less than two weeks, it seems like we have had him for so much longer. I have put up photo of one of his other favourite places to sleep.
008.jpgHarry slept really well again last night. He’s already using the paper or going to the back door to go out to use the toilet. Scrappy and Harry set together for the first time a few moments ago which is so much sooner than I expected. Once again he is snuggled up to Sorcha as she does her homework.
017.jpgHarry came home with us yesterday. I am so surprised at how quickly he has settled in. He spent the day yesterday getting lots of cuddles and showed us that it is my daughter Sorcha who is his favourite as he does not leave her side. He slept all through the night and had to be woken at 9.00 this morning. Scrappy is a little confused as to why this dog is in our house but I don’t think it will be long before they are best of friends. When out for a walk a big bouncing puppy decided to go towards Harry, Scappy ran to his side and they soon discovered that there is strength in numbers!
He is now snuggled up to Sorcha, fast asleep, snoring loudly …… so content. We love him so much already and couldn’t imagine being without our baby boy!
Thank you all so much.
p.s. will post some photos very soon.Thanks so much Pat. I think both of our faces were aching from smiling so much since we got the news! We are soooooo excited and hit the shops today for his new bed, collar, seat belt and of course, some new toys.
We met Harry, and I think it was love at first sight. We can’t wait for him to come home with us, he will fit in so well with our family. I think Harry and Scrappy will be best of friends in a short time. We applied to adopt a different dog and were asked to meet Harry, the minute we saw him we knew he was the one for us.
