This is great news Hilary!! If you take Sid for a walk, ask the staff to put his harness on him, he walks soooo much better with it! And he just loves playing fetch in the garden. I have everything crossed that this goes well because I know you would give Sid such a good home x

I'm really looking forward to the boys meeting. Just hoping all goes well as I know Sid would be very happy with us. Keeping fingers crossed nobody adopts him before 15th as I would truly be gutted to have missed out on him after all this time. There hopefully shouldn't be any problem with a home check as all is safe and secure here and Sid would be a very spoilt little man. So hoping he is on his best behaviour on the day xx :-)

Casper and Sid met for the first time this morning. Casper behaved very well and seemed quite pleased to meet Sid but Sid was not quite as enthusiastic. He was already a bit wound up and frustrated when he came out for his walk as it was very hot and busy. He tried to nip at Casper in the first instance but had calmed down by the time the walk was finished. We feel that multiple visits are needed for Sid to grow accustomed to Casper. We have put a reserve on Sid and are planning to go back with Casper tomorrow and for several other visits to give them the best chance to get on. Sid was very affectionate to me and gave me loads of sloppy kisses. He is a fabulous dog and we so want this to work out. He walks lovely on his harness and is very well behaved. He listens to you. He is a really handsome boy. We wondered if after a coupe more visits if we may be allowed to take Sid out for a few hours to bring him home to see how he gets on in a home environment. Do you know if this would be possible?

Oh my I've just caught up with all these developments, very exciting! I so so hope that Sid will be good with Casper, we'd all love to see him out of kennels now. Hilary you'd need to speak to the staff about the possibilitu of taking him home as a trial. Did you take them in the garden together after your walk? You could do that and see what they are like off lead together

We had another walk with handsome Sidders today. Was much much better this time. Sid was much more relaxed with Casper on their walk. Casper seems to like Sid a lot and it looks like Sidders might be melting a bit towards him too. I can't praise Sid enough on how lovely he is, especially with people, and he behaves really well on the lead. I can't for the life of me work out how this fabulous boy hasn't been snapped up long before now. We are going back for more visits on Friday, Saturday & Sunday to give the boys more time to get to know each other. It is a big commitment taking on any dog and we want to be sure that we are right for Sid as well as him for us and Casper. At the moment though, things look like they are going in the right direction. Was so pleased to see ELSA has left the building. Great news! :-)

Hi Hilary It was lovely to bump into you today It's so difficult for the dogs to be on their best behaviour when they come out of kennels, especially in this heat You (and Casper) and being so patient with Sidders, doing everything right, I really really hope it works out for you all. S xxx
