Love his eyeliners... what a gorgeous looking hound. Thanks for taking him in, Rowan and family, Bertie must think he's ended up in heaven. Viviane.

Thanks everyone, he's a lovely chap. So, the next progress report. Bertie has been very good through the night. He sleeps soundly, and gets up only when the humans wake up. We had a couple of wees by the back door the second night, but he was clean last night, which was good. In the house, he does whatever the humans are doing. If you're sitting in the living room, he'll lie down and sleep with you. If you get up do something, he will follow you, then just watch you from a distance. And sometimes he just sits by the back door watching the world go by. So he's very calm and quiet in the house. However, he is bonding very quickly with everyone, and is rather clingy, so we're practising leaving him for short periods of time. On walks he needs some lead training, as he does get very excited when he sees other dogs. It's just pulling and whining, but he is quite strong. I think once he gets used to meeting dogs on a regular basis he'll get better at this. He's met all different types of dogs. Small poodles, jack russells, labradors, shih tzus, dobermans, and been good with all of them. He greets them nicely (albeit quite excitedly) and just wants to play with everyone. He's learning his name quickly, and I managed to teach him to sit in 5 mins, so I think he's quite clever. We even played fetch with a ball, and he happily dropped it when I asked. He's not very food orientated, as he's not particularly bothered about treats, he hasn't counter surfed, and isn't food aggressive in the slightest. He's off to the vets in the morning to be castrated, so wish him luck! Did I mention he likes cuddles? Checking out his thread And looking pretty

Bertie got through his op ok. He's feeling a little morose this evening, but seems fine. He's not touching his wound, which is good, as I'd prefer not to put a cone on him if possible. He must have been hungry this evening though, as he had a munch of Hannah's lunch for tomorrow, which is unlike him.
Now we have to try and keep him calm! Should be fine in the house, but out on walks is going to be a challenge!
