Bye Bye Cosmo

Cosmo went off to his new permanent home today. He has been a very easy dog to look after, though not without the occasional stubbornness…

He did like his sticks though!

We won’t be having any more rescue dogs to foster until after the summer holidays.

Cosmo – Walks in the Woods

With the weekend came the chance for Cosmo to explore the local woods. First was High Elms, where he had a good explore and a (brief) session of being chased by another dog, which he loved.

We went to Petts Wood this morning, mainly to give him an opportunity to get wet. Once he saw the stream, he livened up and could have spent all day there…

Further on, there’s a pond that is deep enough for him to swim in:

He managed to almost get that 30′ log to the bank!

End result, a very wet and tired dog:

Cosmo Day 2

Cosmo has turned out to be a very easy dog to look after. He walks off the lead (though a bit prone to investigate gardens) and is perfect with other dogs.

He slept in his bed all night – this was a bonus as we were told he preferred to sleep in his owners bed.

We met three other black Labrador dogs in the park; one of their owners is known for giving out treats, so Cosmo joined in…

Cosmo is the second dog from the right!

An Elders’ Weekend

I am spending a weekend at Westminster College, Cambridge, with a group of Elders from around the United Reformed Church.

The building and grounds are lovely, including a Chapel with most un-Presbyterian stained glass windows.

The workshops are being run exceedingly well, and are giving us all much food for thought.

Rolo – A Week Later

What a difference a week makes when a new dog comes to us.

Rolo can still be lively at times, but is now much more settled. He’s happy to sleep in his (open) cage, though we still shut it at night just in case!

We took him to the woods at the weekend, including a splash in the river – everything seemed very new to him. He has enjoyed socialising with other dogs, though remains disappointed when they don’t want to play as much as he does…
