The day we met

We arrived at Wiccaweys on this morning, very excited about meeting Mitch. We'd fell in love with him on the website and just wanted to help this poor guy out by offering him a home where he'd be loved for who he was.

Monty had only had 'the chop' the day before so we were a little nervous about letting him off the lead in case there was any rough play. We walked into the barn and instantly recognised Mitch! He was smaller than I expected but pretty much came straight up to us which i was shocked about, I thought that he would be more nervous around us as we were new people, but he just wants to trust so much.

We took him for a walk with Monty and also spent a lot of alone time just us, Monty and Mitch in a paddock playing fetch. We had to tie Mitch to a post with a 60ft lead in case he ran away. But he loves to play, just hasn't quite got the hang of bringing it all the way back. On his walk he pulls on the lead but Paul told us not to pull him back, just go with him, which was fine. He and Monty had a few explorations and sniffs of each other and a couple of small warnings, but no scuffles, they seemed to get on fine. Nothing too intimate at first but we knew that would come in time.



We fell in love with him Mitch all over again and when they told us to go have a think and to rather have to come back for him another day than to regret taking him and having to return him when he didn't turn out to fit in. But we didn't know any more now than we knew before, we knew his story and we knew that we would love him for the little soul he was. We'd give him his space and we wouldn't stop loving him because he chewed our belongings. As someone else said on the day, we knew it was meant to be. Just the similarities between him and Monty, it was as if they were brothers... We were taking him with us to his new forever home.

And at home asleep on dad settling in already!
