FLYN


I thought I'd better let you all know how Flynn is settling in to his new life

After reading everything we could on Rottweilers pre Flynn's arrival, we were very aware that he might be dominant, and need some strict rules, and had issues with food...

He came home, had a good look around his new house, checked out the garden ( didn't go upstairs - seems he did not understand them) and then collapsed on the floor so we could play with him... SUBMIT, seems to be his middle name!!

The beach was a whole new experience - he was confused by the sand - and very wary of the sea

He is excellent on the lead, and we took him to the woods on the 2nd day, and let him off the lead in the stream - he had obviously not seen water before, and he was so funny and sweet - and confused - but enjoyed him self so much

By night 3, he slept through the night ( I think he was worn out), the neighbours, the dog walker - and his 4 grandchildren, the neighbours kids, all think he is marvellous - I think he has been a bit overwhelmed by all the attention, but has welcomed the stroking - and as is his trait - collapsed on his back at every opportunity ( obviously we are very close by)

The first couple of days, he did knock his food bowl out of my hands a couple of times, as  he wanted his food - but that has stopped now. Although he has worked out where the treat cupboard is, and does sit looking "thin" sometimes!!

So, overall, I think he is very happy - he has obviously had a lot of new experiences - I suspect his previous life must have been very dull and restricted. He is still quite clingy, but it's only been a week - and it has been an absolute pleasure having him as part of our family - he's certainly got a great character!

I hope Floyd has gone to his new home also..


Best Wishes

SMUDGE

 Hi Mary
 
 It was lovely to hear from you
 and thank you so much for your kind words.  We're just
 so thrilled with Smudge and how he has settled in so
 quickly.  He's getting lots of walks round the country
 lanes where we live and we've taken him to the beach at
 Broad Haven, so we're all getting fit!  We took him to
 see the eye specialist on the 19th and we're pleased to
 say that his eyes are improving and no mention of surgery at
 present.  He's very good with all his eye drops and
 enjoys his treats. I think we would love to come to the fun
 dog show .
  Attaching a
 couple of photos so you can see our handsome boy.  Please
 feel free to share them and we will keep in touch.
  Very best wishes
  Carole and Michael Lister

KHAN

Hi Mary

Thank you for your email. That would be a great day out & we would love to bring Khan up to see you all.
He has got rid of his nervousness with his head. We have kept him on Seraquin & had a check up   on Friday, all is fine with him. He loves a game of football as you can see in the attached pictures. He has also made a new friend in the horse also attached. He is such a loving dog and lets us know when he wants anything! I would love you to add him to your success stories.

Thank you for the perfect dog

MYFANWY



Hello! My name is Myfanwy. I was adopted from Llys Nini at the beginning of April, and thought I’d let you all know how I was getting on.
When I first came to my new home, I was a little bit overwhelmed by all the new surroundings, and missing my best friend Ruby, who had been adopted a day earlier by another family.

I’m not sure about this….


Cuddles! My favourite thing!
But the people in this new house seemed nice, and gave me lots of cuddles, treats and fusses.  I could tell they really loved me, and it made me feel better.

I went to the beach, and had a great time! I rolled around in the sand and ran around with a new friend.  He was a Borzoi, and much bigger than me, but I tried my best to keep up!

I had a haircut, and everyone said how beautiful I was…
I explored my big new garden….

I started to learn to walk on a harness (which I still haven’t quite got the hang of..) but we go to exciting places and meet lots of other dog friends every day!

..
I spoiled with lots of toys! First of all I didn’t know what to do with them, but when I heard them squeak I just couldn’t resist


This one is my absolute favourite! My squeaky burger!

Don’t mess with my burger!
Sometimes there’s so much to do, I wear myself out. But that’s ok, because there’s lots of snuggly blankets and baskets to curl up in…

I’m really happy here with my new family, and I’m looking forward to all the exciting adventures we have together in the future.

Feeling Snoozy.
