progress update on Sparky: 20\/7\/12<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hi Helen,<\/p>\n

Just a quick email to say thanks very much for all your help today and
\nto let you know that Sparky has settled in at his new home ok so far –
\nhe’s had a nice few runs around the garden this afternoon with his
\nrabbit – he wasn’t keen on watching the golf on tv but prefers the
\nwool carpet!!! :-)<\/p>\n

Hi Helen, thought I would update you some more on Sparky.<\/p>\n

Sparky is such a lovely boy, he has settled into family life really
\nquickly. He has learnt to sit and wait for his meals and will go in
\nhis crate when told. We have no problems with him at night, as he
\nsleeps in the hallway with our dog Maddie. He loves being with Zak 5
\nand Aden 3 years, Zak has been training Sparky to sit and go down.
\nOnce he has someone to spend the time training him, he can most
\nprobably go onto do agility.<\/p>\n

Sparky loves going on walks over the playing fields where he can run
\nand play with other dogs. I have taken him by the roads which he isn’t
\ntoo keen on but he is getting there.
\nAll he wants is a home where he can get lots off fussing, cuddles and
\nlove, Oh and not forgetting food, food, more food, chews and treats.<\/p>\n

That’s all for now, Kim x<\/p>\n

progress update on Spot: 7\/7\/12<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ollie (aka Spot) Has settled very well over the last 24 hours.
\nAlmost like he’s been here a while!
\nHe has been clean and dry and was perfect last night.
\nTook to his bed at 11:30 and we didn’t really hear from him again (apart from a growl at the cat!) until we went to him this morning.
\nHe was very pleased to see us and his whole back end wags (not just his tail!)
\nHe was not as pleased to see the rain though as it appears he dislikes that as much as we do.
\nHe’s already enjoying fetch with the ball and will patiently sit before each throw.
\nHe is an absolute delight and I’m sure we’re all going to be really happy together :o)<\/p>\n

This is Sparky, he is looking for his forever home.
\nSparky is very good with my two boys 5 & 3yrs.
\nHe is picking up commands really
\nquickly, sleeps all night and is clean.
\nHe is such a lovely boy who wants cuddles and lots of love.<\/p>\n

Hi Helen, here’s a quick update on Sparky.<\/p>\n

Sparky has settled in really well, he is great with children and does get very excited in the mornings when the boys come down the stairs, so does need reminding that paws stay on the floor.
\nHe gets on well with Maddie and wants to play most of the time with her, so I do have to put him in his crate at times just to calm him down.
\nWe have no problems at night, he has learnt that even though Brian gets up to go to work at 5.40am, he just goes out for a wee then straight back to sleep till I get up at 6.45am.<\/p>\n

He is picking up commands quickly, he now sits and waits for his meal to be put down and told he can have it, also to leave Maddie alone while she finishes hers (as she’s a little bit more slower and doesn’t inhale hers.)
\nHe likes to follow me around and will lay behind you if stood still for too long!<\/p>\n

Whoever takes Sparky home will have a never ending supply off Love and Cuddles.<\/p>\n

That’s all for now Kim x<\/p>\n

Hi Helen,<\/p>\n

I have attached some photo’s of Spot and Sparky, which is very hard when they wont sit still.<\/p>\n

Spot is the bigger off the two, he has a small white mark on the back off his neck and a white tipped tail and right front paw is mainly white. He is the more confident one, and will try and take toys or food away from Maddie.
\nSparky is more timid and slightly smaller then his brother, he has a front left right paw with black spots. He’s not too sure about taking food from us, so we have to put it on the floor for him.<\/p>\n

They love attention, like all puppies do. They especially like my youngest as he’s the right height for them to jump up and lick his face. There first night here, they slept from 10pm to about 5.45am when Brian got up to go to work, so naturally I had to get up too. They slept in the hallway with Maddie, but I have put the cage up to shut them away as all they and Maddie want to do is play, also they can put their paws on the table and try to eat with us.<\/p>\n

Spot I think will train up really quickly, but Sparky will need to be coaxed out off his shell, as he’s more a bit more nervous.<\/p>\n

Will update again soon, Kim x<\/p>\n
