As promised an update on Toby. Well he is an absolute adorable treasure!

He slept the whole first night on his own in the study with his sofa and toys, from 10.30pm until I got up at 5.30am. No accidents and he went straight out to the garden.

He adores tennis balls and has discovered his own game of hide and seek with them which is so cute to watch.

This afternoon he decided he was a lap dog, very warm and cuddly but very heavy!

We’ve had 3 walks so far today on the halti, (a new smaller and well fitting one) doing the same route and he’s got better every time. However, OMG does he hate cats! Was restraining him for dear life and of course the cat just looked at him. So far we have had no issues with other dogs, except for a barking West Highland Terrier behind a gate which spooked him and no lunging at cars so far.

I think he is doing incredibly well, and for most of the time he is a tail up happy boy. He is very much a Velcro dog and goes everywhere with me, yes including the loo, it’s like having a small child again.

I am sure he will go from strength to strength.

Kindest regards

Susan
