Dexter seems to have settled in a bit more, we have the odd moment (this house is full of odd moments) when we take a step back, but think/hope we are mainly moving forward in slow gear. Luckily Kevin and Moira sent Dexter into our world with his suitcase packed full of treats/bones/toys/other truly-doted-on-dog items, so we are well-placed to bribe/blackmail/cajole and make ourselves interesting (liver cake seems to make us more interesting than anyone else has ever found us). Charley is very sorry about the chewed pig and the stuffing she removed from the blow fish, but promises to put it back and sew it up. Couple of pics to follow, slightly more relaxed than Donna's magnificent action shots... Dexter: "Nope, leave me alone, I don't do this man touchy thing. You are a chap and therefore must be infested with bubonic plague and pestilence" Dexter: "Well, OK. You have comfy arms and I am a tad tired"

Used to be cream. Now a versatile dog paw pattern with Charley/Dexter colouring. When it is recovered I will request vomit-coloured wipe-clean fabric. In fact, will ask for a matching frock and pinny. Max

Niice. Oh and, errr,,, cream couch. Good luck. And a suit! Max came over this morning to collect some new tags for Dexter, and she let slip during the course of the conversation, that Andy has made himself late for work several times already, because every morning, just as he's leaving, he offers Dexter a treat, and he sits patiently waiting on the floor until Dexter takes the treat. It doesn't matter whether it's two minutes or two hours; Andy won't leave for work until the treat is gone! What wonderful dedication!

It was wonderful seeing all the lovely photos of Dexter running and having fun. . We were very taken with Dexter when he came in as little Mr Poopie and have always followed his thread with interest. We felt so sorry for Moira and Kevin with the problems they faced and hope they can take comfort in knowing they did all they could for the lovely boy and I am sure, in time, another dog will come along which will be just perfect for them . Max and Andy, you are making such good progress with Dexter, well done!

Hi Max and Andy We were so pleased to read this and the photos are wonderful - that boy can run and he is obviously really happy, definitely landed on all four paws. Yes we feel a bit sad, but mainly pleased for Dexter to have found such a perfect home. We knew that it just wasn't working with us.
The pictures of Andy and Dexter are extraordinary.
Thank you so much Max and Andy and Jenny of course, we just wanted that dog to be happy and he clearly is.
(Liver cake is a definite favourite)
Moira and Kevin

Nice to see Dexter settled. Don't think he was impressed with Dads Army though!
