He looks so chillaxed already! Hope all going smoothly.
It takes time for them to settle & relax completely. We determined that it took Comet a good 2 months and he'd visited us twice (with sleepover) twice before his Gotcha day.

Ollie really does like our dog beds. So much so that he hasn't asked to come on the sofa yet. The beds came from Wolfybeds on the Internet.
He's really settled in the house and all 3 dogs have got on really well. He's very considerate to our old dog and realises he's not the one to play with.
He's still getting used to country walks and can get a bit anxious with new things. A herd of cows scared him yesterday but he would love to chase the rabbits and squirrels. Christine has done an excellent job with his walking on lead and he walks to heal really well. The only thing that worries him is he does get a bit anxious when he sees other dogs. That's why he has a muzzle on if we are going to an area where we are likely to see other dogs.
We're taking him to the Donkey Sanctuary tomorrow so will let you know how that goes

Fantastic!!! Blurry screen here - for all the right reasons! Me too Audrey. It's so lovely to see how happy he is and to hear how he is getting on so well with the other dogs, Red and Doc. Chris has also told me that Ollie's been meeting lots of members of the family including children and has been wagging his tail and enjoying being fussed. He is such a timid boy and has come on so well since he first came into SLR in March last year when he wouldn't have been happy meeting new people. He'll gradually get better when meeting new dogs, and more confident, and it sounds like Red and Ollie are becoming best pals. Still missing this lovely boy, but I'm so happy that he has such a lovely new life ahead of him. |

Lovely pictures and great views. Have fun at the donkey sanctuary. It is our favourite stop off on our way to Cornwall.

Tearful here for Christine as she put so much into his rehabilitation and I am sure Mick and Carole are proud and happy to see him settled. xxx Beautiful countryside. I am sure Ollie will appreciate it very soon. xx Love and to you all, you are amazing |

Ollie enjoyed his trip to the Donkey Sanctuary. He liked looking at the donkeys as long as they didn't come too close! We visited the restaurant afterwards that was full of people and dogs. He was very good and wasn't worried at all. Some lurcher people had a chat to him and stroked him. Ollie took it all in his stride without any problems.

He is having such a great time with you all. All the new experiences are going to be so good for him and I'm so pleased that he's taking everything in his stride. Even better is when you get home and he plays with Red and you get his bottom pushed at you with his waggy tail. I feel so happy for you and him and I know that I can stop worrying about him now that he's found the perfect home. Thanks for posting the photos, it's great to have the updates and to see him again.
