Henry nearly a year on :o)

I can't believe it'll soon be a year from when we adopted Henry form MKF. I thought it might be an idea to give a little update on how he's getting on.

Well it took him a good few months to settle properly, from the start he was adorable, a really loving dog but he showed his stress by chewing anything he could put into his mouth (I've lost numerous pairs of shoes & we've had to replace the kitchen lino!) luckily he's over that now & only chews what he's meant to! LOL!

I think he feels secure in the knowledge this is his forever home now as he's started to bark to protect us, something he never did to begin with he just wanted to cuddle everyone! B ut if someone comes to door that he doesn't know now he really lets them know that they'd better watch out this is his family.

I read in the Rescue feedback about the rescue not giving to families with young children. Well all I can is Glenys knows what she's doing, when we adopted Henry our youngest daughter, Rebecca was 3 years old. We arrived at MKF together to see Henry, Glenys let us play with Henry & spend time with him so she could observe how we all got on with each other & luckily for us she decided we would be a suitable family for Henry

I would like to say a big thank you to Glenys and the rescue team for the fabulous job you do & for making our family more complete by letting us adopt Henry.

Here's Henry & Rebecca having a cuddle.

Thanks again,

Kirsten
