Hi Sarah and Paul
Thought you would like an update on Corrie.
Well, where do I start what a gorgeous dog he is. The journey home went well he
settled in the back okay and slept. We stopped at the services for the boys to
get something to eat. The entrance to the shop was down some steps which he
didn't want to go down at first but interestingly there was an army soldier
coming towards us so Neil thinks it may have been the uniform that spooked him.
Anyway he was fine.
Sunday night he slept in a crate in the dining
room and we didn't hear a peep out of him. Five am in the morning Toby had
sneaked downstairs with his duvet, let Corrie out of the crate and they were
both curled up together on the duvet.
He has met lots of new doggy friends in the
Avenue and has been really good with them. He is walking well on the lead. We
have managed to borrow a longer length lead. Corrie has loved the extra freedom
in the fields. He has played hide and seek with Toby in the long grass : -
)
The older cats are watching him very closely and
doing a lot of hissing at him. Corrie wants to go and investigate them but kind
of knows to keep his distance. The two kittens are a bit quick, scurrying
around and tempting him to play chase but we call him back and he generally
stops in his tracks and looks at us.
Monday, Corrie's first day with us, was my
nana's funeral. Corrie came with us and was brilliant. Neil was going to wait
with him outside the church but the vicar invited him in so he sat in the row of
pews as if he's been there loads of times before. He just loves everyone and
everyone thought he was very well behaved considering we only got him the day
before.
We still have a lot to learn as new dog owners
but so far so good. We will send photos soon.
Love Chris, Neil, Toby & Alfie.
