Hi Helen<\/p>\n

I can not believe we have had him only for just over 2mths it seems like he has always been living with us. Henry makes us smile everyday.
\nHenry has settled really well after a few weeks of adjusting.
\nHe did suffer a bit from an upset stomach but with advice from our vets and putting him on
\nthe right food all is now well and he has gained 3k (now weighs 23K) plus his
\ncoat is looking good no dry skin, Henry loves to be groomed!<\/p>\n

Henry enjoys his walks and loves to play in the park with his ball.
\nAt the weekends he gets treated by the bakers with a sausage plus treats from the
\nnewsagents.
\nEveryone in town thinks he is adorable, mind you he is always on his good behavior when we are out.
\nWe are carrying on Jeffrey’s good work and continuing to train i.e. sit at kerbs, stay etc.
\nNow sits with very little commands.
\nHe has also had trips to the beach and the moors.
\nAll new experiences for him. Was a little unsure to begin with but is getting to
\nlike the sea and the Moors a lot more now.
\nHenry tends to tiptoe if he is not sure of the terrain he is walking on.<\/p>\n

We still have one or two issue to overcome such as whining when he travels
\nin the car and tends to bark at visitors to the house although he has gained
\nconfidence in myself and Rose he is still wary of other people, but we are
\nworking on this and he is getting better, it will just take a little more
\ntime.<\/p>\n

I think if Henry could write this he would say I really like my new home and
\nI have become much more confident and relaxed although I still get anxious
\nabout some things.<\/p>\n

Will update again soon
\nBest wishes
\nRoy.<\/p>\n

Henry has now gone to live in Devon!<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Henry has been with Jeff and his dogs for a few weeks, during which time he has learnt his dog manners.
\nHe didn’t really know anything when he arrived. Henry now knows he must sit and wait for his dinner and responds to commands.
\nHe also behaves well on the lead. He sometimes stands and walks on his hind legs but he hasn’t been taught that, that’s his own little trick!
\nHenry is more comfortable around men at the moment, possibly because the lady he lived with before was struggling to cope with the whole adolescent litter.
\nHe was hesitant when we arrived to take his pictures but curious enough to come and give us a sniff.
\nHe regularly visits the pub (as part of his social training of course!) and can hear a crisp packet opening at 20 paces!
\nHe such a nice looking boy, he gets lots of attention and titbits from his new people friends in the local!
\nHe is clearly very fond of Jeff and seems like he would be a very loyal dog.<\/p>\n

My name is Henry, I am 11 months old and until yesterday I lived with my\u00a0 brothers and sisters at the house where I was born.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were eight of us plus Mum all together and as we grew into Labrador size dogs and were allowed to do exactly what we wanted we became too much for the lady.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people would have realised this and found us homes earlier but we have now ended up in rescue and they are left to sort out the problem of finding places for us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Helen stated last night that I am a good old fashioned Heinz 57,<\/span><\/p>\n

for those of you that haven’t heard the expression it means a general mix up of all sorts of dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am tan coloured ,the size of a Labrador as earlier said and get on well with other dogs.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am a little nervous of new people because we didn’t meet many in our originally home but I am getting over this quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

I do need a home with another dog as I am used to company and I love all food that comes my way,<\/span><\/p>\n

maybe there is a bit of a wriggly Labrador in me !!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
