A Change of Plan

We have had a change of plan for our summer cruise brought about by the unexpected addition of Sydney to the family. We didn't think it would be fair to take him on a long and hectic couple of weeks cruise on the Thames on a boat that he won't be all that familiar with just yet.

So we have decided to postpone the trip until next summer and this year instead we will have the two weeks pottering around on our local rivers instead. Something we have not done for a long while so it will be a nice change for us as well as breaking Sydney in gently to our holiday routines.

Sydney is settling in well at home. He finally used his new bed last night instead of sleeping next too it on the floor and he is quickly learning where is out of bounds in the house. He now knows he can't go in the bedrooms and only in the living room if we are in there. He is much more settled in the car and just lays in the passenger footwell and this morning was actually happy to jump into the car which was a first.

He has a little way to go at work with Liam though. He is getting better each day and now realises that he isn't being left for a long time when people leave the room. His crying has reduced but now he has turned into a ninja dog and can jump onto the counter to greet people.

It remains to be seen what he makes of going to the vets this evening!

  2. Not sure. We are going to enquire about that. Not the end of the world if not.

    1. No it’s not, great looking little dog and good on you both for giving him a good home. I am sure you will still enjoy your holiday xx

  3. He is starting to come out of his shell now. He will be a proper little character when he is himself again.

    Don't think he will be happy with us tonight though as he has to go and see the vet for a check over.
