One month in...


Well Mitchey has been with us for just over a month now and settling in fantastically well! Monty can have his bossy/greedy moments but i have really seen them bonding from the tug of war play together from more recently sleeping cuddled up in one dog bed together... Mitch wouldn't even go in a dog bed alone when he first got here! They sleep upstairs most of the time now, and quite often I've woke up to the sight of Mitch on his back, legs spread. :) That's a great sign of contentment.

Also Mitch doesn't lie down when I put his harness on him for walks, in facts it takes me five minutes to stop him doing the collie wiggle around the hallway as he is so excited he's going for a walk! He still absolutely hates walking by the road, but quite the opposite on the field playing fetch. He's getting to fetch the ball/frisbee more often than not now as Monty gives him his chances, but still not quite got the hang of bringing it all the way back yet.

He went to the vets and had his second jab and health test so all up to date now on that side of things. He loves his food, he gobbles it all up and I can see he's slowly putting on weight as he was at least 5k underweight when we went to the vets.

Well tomorrow we have our first 'Wellies and Paws' walk in Peterborough, looking forward to that!
