Day One
Frank is an excellent backseat driver! Having surveyed the motorway traffic for a while he got bored and just settled down to have a kip. No attempt trying to get to the front seat. The harness didn’t seem to bother him.
Obviously, the garden had to be inspected thoroughly to make sure there weren’t any Aliens lurking in the bushes. And gentleman that he is he did his business at the bottom of the garden behind a bush.
Next the house: again a thorough inspection from top to bottom. I had to pop out to get his dinner and had to leave him for 20-25 mins. I left and returned without making a fuss and Frank was quite unfazed. When I came back and opened the gate there was just a single bark and that was that.
Frank is very affectionate - but not clingy. I was sitting in the conservatory which was rather too hot even for my liking and sensible Frank decided the kitchen stone floor was just what the doctor ordered. He knew I was within reach but he couldn’t actually see me. Not bad for a first day.
While I had a little “refreshment” and nibbles Frank just sat there - waiting - nothing was offered - he just lay down at my feet. No begging at all.
He loves sitting on dining room chairs with his heavy head resting on the table. And although there were edible things within reach he showed no interest. The only thing he has “vandalized” so far is the bathroom cleaning sponge.
He had his Winnalot at five which he almost but not quite finished. And because of the heat he had lots to drink.
He had a good scratch at the scabs on his neck which started to bleed a bit. Emma suggested applying Savlon which I did and while about it applied Sudocreme to his paws. Again no problem whatsoever. He was in the garden with his toys but has decided one of his footballs should be with him indoors. Although very placid and laidback - nobody should forget he is all “bull” breed. Tried a bit of tug o war but stopped almost straight away as I could see he was getting a bit hyper.
Well, altogether a successful day. Weather permitting I’ll take him for an early morning walk tomorrow.
PS. Will try and keep Day Two shorter.
PPS. Just noticed Frank seems to like Sudocreme - it's all gone.
Frank is looking for a forever home.
