Thank you all for your good wishes and comments for Saffy and Boycie.

Boycie is doing well.      Christine writes :-

Boycie on his cushion.

Boycie was very good last night when we went to bed.  Heard him snuffling a few times but no real barking.  He hasn't put a foot wrong so far and has enjoyed two walks today and is now laid by my feet, having also destroyed two balls.  Left him for over an hour and a half this morning(in crate)  when I went to work and left him the radio on and he was fine.  He is so friendly and follows us everywhere.

As you are well aware, he has to be near someone - preferably as close as possible all the time!  He doesn't look to run off when we open the back door, but we are not taking any chances until he is totally settled and knows his domain.  He sat nicely on a long line watching me muck out as well this morning.

Will keep you posted on his progress.



Saffy update.     Jude writes :-

We had a very successful first night... Saffy chilled out on "her sofa" upstairs with me while i read during the evening and then slept soundly in her crate through the night.

Today has been another great day; She's been on three good walks today & remains calm & very affectionate in the house, it's so lovely! This is her at the moment..













It has felt odd to me having so few dogs but not particularly easier, then I was very tired, yesterday was quite a day.
Today has been quiet in terms of phone calls, no requests to take dogs in, long may it last. We have to allow  for dogs being returned so I think we will make the most of it and catch our breath.
