After three weeks with us, Winston has really settled down. We put an old duvet into his bed, and he seems much happier with it now, and spends most of the night in it.

He is getting better off the lead, though a bit prone to wandering ahead out of sight. In safe areas (and when I have time), I now stop and wait for him to come back, so maybe he is slowly learning what my rules are. But calling him back still has little effect – luckily he is very good with other dogs, so is rarely an embarrassment.

He loves water and enjoyed a swim this morning. Luckily the water was fairly clean…
