Dear Bruno
Many thanks for your help in trying to find me a dog.
I have taken a 15 month old Mastine x which was in the local shelter. I got him yesterday on a two week trial. I have to say, I am very pleased with him up to now. He is quite a find. He is so wanting to please, he has a lovely temperament. I think judging by the loss of hair round his neck, he probably spent his life on the end of a chain, so he will have a much pleasanter time with me. As you say, I am not telling him I feel sorry for him for his past life, I am saying these are the rules and that is that. When I think he has only been here 24 hrs, you can tell he is very content, he does want to be here. He isn´t pacing about, he is a very laid back lad. He doesn´t know what a bed is, he doesn´t know that you eat your food from a bowel. I have to tip it on the floor before he eats it, but Rome wasn´t built in a day. At first I thought he wasn´t house trained, as he tried to pee up the first wall he saw, but he got told off for that, and he hasn´t done it since, so it might be something he got used to doing in the shelter.
Anyway, wish me luck with him, because I hope we are together for a very long time to come.
Best wishes
Sandra
