Dear Amanda & Philip<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As promised an update on Mr.\u00a0 Woods.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As you can see from the above photos he has become a real “Wild Fowler” he finds water wherever we are. Not always the cleanest I might add! He loves coming down to our little summerhaus near the beach in Suffolk and has taken it all in his stride.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
He has really settled now and has his favorite advantage points in the house, in case he should miss something.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
He is a joy to take on walks. He returns to us when called, whistled or signaled to and walks to heel when asked. Should we be curtailing the length of walks as he is still relatively young? He thoroughly enjoyed a 7 miler last weekend when he had a Golden Retriever\u00a0to play with but we wonder if we should not have gone so far.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0He is a lovely dog, more confident with us now, a joy to have as part of the family. He is great with other dogs and is smart enough to give the little snappy ones a wide birth. Nelson and he are great friends. He loves going to pubs and sits quietly under the table.\u00a0We have started to leave him for longer periods now during the day. He goes through the night without chewing and we have left him a couple of times \u00a0for 4 hours without disaster. We don’t use the cage at all now so will plan to return\u00a0it to you\u00a0ASAP. The only things he ate was our TV remote control and he pinched a ham hock from the side in the kitchen when I wasn’t paying attention!\u00a0 But it reminds us that he is after all still young.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
He is about to have another adventure this weekend when he comes away with us in our caravan. Watch this space……<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Thank you both once again for teaching him all he knows.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Regards<\/span><\/div>\n
