UPDATE:
Hi
Just dropping you a line to let you know how Ben and Bruce are settling in. They slept the whole journey back to Northumberland! They are fabulous boys, and have settled in really well. They have both now been vaccinated and are both now chipped. They have the most lovely natures, and nearly all our family and friends have visited, and they have been most welcoming to stangers. They have clearly been well trained and are very obedient, Ben still tries to get on top of Bruce, but is easily deterred.
Bruce (the older one) has got a new lease of life, and is walking much more briskly that initially.
They have been having 2 -3 good walks a day, and sleep really well at night. We are trying to encourage them to sleep downstairs at night, but they like to sneak up quietly when they think we are asleep!
They wouldn't leave each other, or me for the first few days, but now they are much better, and do seem to enjoy having short bursts of time without each other - Bruce lay with me whilst I ironed and Ben has helped Robin mow the lawn today!
We are really pleased with them, and they have brought life to our empty garden. They now have new beds, new collars, and loads of balls, squeaky toys etc!!
I have attached a couple of pictures taken when they first arrived. I will send some more in a couple of weeks.
We would like to thank you very much for offering us the opportunity to adopt these beautiful boys, and if you ever have contact with their previous owner, please let them know that we will love and cherish her boys.
Kind regards
Julie and Robin
I really must get to the Quack!
