Cooper has got through his first weekend with us and he's settling in really well. We have started his introduction into the house rules and he seems to be picking them up pretty fast (apart from sneaking onto the sofa when we aren't looking). He was very interested in the snakes but we persuaded him that they were nothing to do with him, but the lizards are a different matter. I think he really wants one for himself. He seems to like all his new beds (living room, dining room and upstairs) but the toys remain untouched. He inhales his treats without chewing or tasting, and we did have to change his food bowl for a slow feeder to stop him inhaling that as well. Today was his first day of being left alone, I went out at 7 and his mummy came in at just after 8. We were worried how he would be as he's super clingy, but he was waiting in his bed when she got in. All in all it's been a good start.

I am completely made up for this handsome boy. Slightly heartbroken that now he'll never be mine, but I couldn't be happier for him. What fantastic news to start this year with!

The old worries that meant he had to wear a muzzle haven't been an issue at all. In fact he seems to do his best to avoid other dogs completely, though he is very very interested in cats, birds, squirrels, fast moving leaves and anything that he sees that wasn't there yesterday. He starts his walks well and gradually pulls more and more while you are out and then for no reason will stop dead and reverse into your legs. That leaves us doing an interesting dance of trying to keep up, jumping back then doing a little side step. We often look like the bad dancing celebrities off strictly come dancing. Cooper is a very affectionate little dog who is a pleasure to have around the house. He normally pops his head into the bedroom just after 5.00 am and sticks his nose on whatever bit of skin he can find. He then gets super excited around 6.00 when I get up and it's impossible to get my feet on the floor without finding a wiggling Staffordshire bull terrier under them. It's then a trip across the landing listening to him playing the banister xylophone with his tail. Cooper loves his walks but hates being towelled when he gets home. We've had to resort to shutting ourselves into our outhouse with him or he will do his best to run away. He is also fine to be left alone, even though it is obvious that he would rather be with us. We were going to break him in gently but circumstances dictated that he got thrown straight into the deep end. He took it all in his stride and has proved himself as a happy adaptable little guy who is a pleasure to share our lives with. For all those people who couldn't see past the muzzle, you missed a little gem.
