He lived with us for a while and I can report that he has the most loving and (in the best possible way ) wettest lick on the planet!! He is big and strong and asolutely faithful – a fantastic dog.

We went to school this morning – he adored it! He is exceptionally clever – I, however, am exceptionally thick! I kept confusing him with mixed messages and flapping hands syndrome.

He was flying through the tunnels – great on the A frame – not so fantastic on the jumps (but that was entirely my fault) – and he absolutely loved it. And it was his first time!

John suggested that his agility training would benefit from some obedience training – so we will join the next available course which does not start until September (all full til then).

He also got his first ever pig’s ear today (GROSS!!) – but he was delighted.

A quick update on Harry – after giving us several frights with his jumping antics we took advice from the expert (aka Suzi) and he is now only a frantically jumpy dog – as opposed to the neurotically jumpy dog he was previously!!!

He will be going to school in Swords! Hoping to make it to agility classes there with him next weekend. We were on hols for the last two weeks and my brother moved in to mind him – sent us some fab photos of Harry being a ‘dawg’ in the dunes at Dollymount – must learn how to post them. I could not believe the kids’ reactions – or Harry’s reaction – when we got home today – they were thrilled to see each other! It did not take him long to become an integral part of the chaos!

He’s a happy little guy and we’re delighted to have him.

When desperately seeking help with the jumping I scanned the site manically for suggestions – HUGE thanks to whoever suggested the water spray (in a totally different post) – in addition to Suzi’s suggestions it has been a life saver.

Boo (now Harry of Potter fame!) is officially the coolest dog ‘in the whole world’ according to his newest biggest six-year-old fan. I will try to post some photos of him soon. Thanks to everyone involved in bringing this great little fella into our lives. He is very much part of the family (we haven’t told the cats yet – they still think he is just visiting!). There are significantly more children living on our road than I knew about – I am sure of this as they now spend all of their time in my garden playing with Harry and training him to use the swings and slides – he also partook in an inpromptu water-fight yesterday. He is just a fabulous little guy and we are thrilled to have him.
