Re: Dexter

Hi Sue & Andy

Hope you are both ok. Although Dexter has been with us for just over a week it feels like he has always been here. He loves following all of us around and Megan adores him. She is being very responsible and helps feeding and toilet training. He always goes outside but does have a few accidents indoors.

He has been getting lots of fuss from everyone and we cannot wait to take him out for a walk. He has been out in the car a couple of times and is getting used to his harness and lead.

I will send you some photos as soon as I get some time to put them on the computer.

All the best to you both and I'll be in touch again soon.

Regards

Sian Don & Megan

Re: Oakley

Hello Sue and Andy,

Just thought I'd give you an update on Oakley. He was brilliant travelling home after a few minutes of saying Hello to me, he settled down and feel fast asleep, which has made me even more hopeful our holidays to the Lake District will be easy travelling. He has settled at home and been really spoiled by everyone - can't believe how many toys he has already!! He is struggling a little at night as he is so affectionate he just can't stand being alone so he does have a little cry. He had his 2nd vaccination today which he was a really good boy only made a little noise with the injection but loved all of the fuss from the vet and the receptionist while we were waiting.

Anyway hope your both ok

Laura, Steven and Oakley x

P.S this was written monday but got distracted by the little man!!

Re: Tess

Dear Andy and Sue,

Well, we’ve had Tess for two weeks, now, and she’s amazing! I know we’re biased, but we think she must be the cleverest cockapoo! She automatically sits for her food without being told to, and she now knows ‘Lie down’, ‘Paw’, ‘High Five’ and ‘Wait’......we put a piece of food about 5cm from her nose and she waits with a hand signal and then takes the food on command – wow! We can’t wait to take her to obedience classes as she really loves training (or could it be the treats?!). She mostly goes outside for the toilet, now, and sleeps quietly in her crate all night with just a small whimper when we close the door on her. We took her to the vets on Thursday for her vaccination and she got so much attention – in fact, it takes us twice as long to get anywhere when we take her with us as everyone stops us to say how adorable she is. I don’t think my camera skills do her justice! She’s started going to puppy play parties and, although a little nervous at first, she soon became confident and seemed to be having a great time. She loves to play with the hoover and tries so hard to catch the cats tail! She’s good in the car and remains a ferocious eater – she’s now 1.7kilos at 10 weeks. She’s tolerating her collar really well and doesn’t mind being brushed.....although happily ‘kills’ the brush when finished

 We’ve enclosed a couple of pics – hope you like them. We’ll send more as she develops.

 Thank you for the perfect puppy!

 Sarah & Alex
