I think it's safe to say loki has enjoyed his first Christmas in his new home and more to come later!

Wrapping paper well and truly killed

Toys unwrapped and played with

All tired out snoozing in the middle of all the carnage

Wishing everyone a merry Christmas, especially those at the rspca Burton who looked after me for so long.

This is my 'I don't like being washed down after I've got all muddy on a walk dance'

Makes the hooman laugh everytime but that hose water is bloody cold on my winky!

Fenton take 2

No such repeat today!

A couple of weeks back we had a fantastic session with Marian Tague (dog behaviourist, will link in the comments) she's gave us no end of helpful advice and methods in just 1 session.

We have been working on various things since but recall has been the main one and despite being super excited being off the lead he performed *almost* flawlessly, better than I expected to be honest.

We can now start working on distance and also with some distractions thrown in to carry on his progress.

If you are having issues with your dog I'd highly recommend Marian, she helps you build up a proper relationship with your dog rather than just getting angry or dominating them.

He's also turning into a fantastic alarm clock as he knows when it's time to get up so he can have his breakfast!

So far I have highlighted the fun and frolics of taking on a rescue, seems pretty easy right?

Well, no.

This morning I have a poorly dog

Loki, is probably an easier rescue dog to take on than some, he's pretty well behaved, isn't too boisterous and, well, he's just gorgeous.

But we obviously don't know his full history, he seems to have a fear of water, so much so that if we go out he will walk around puddles, and he won't drink from any other dish other than his proper water bowl.

He is very very anxious. Every little noise he hears, this puts him on edge and gets him barking.

He's doesn't like to be left alone, even if I'm just in the kitchen, he makes it well know that he wants me back in the room with him.

We are having to take things very slow, the same simple walk every day, not overloading him with new things. Not giving him treats or left overs.

We are being soft enough to let him sleep in our room for now, however that backfired last night when he was sick, smelt amazing at 2am!

He likes to wake us up around 6ish

We also have a dog behaviourist coming to see us soon too which will help give us some tips to get him settled and happy as soon as possible.

If you've had a rescue dog I'd love to hear what issues you faced but how things are now.

When the pretty hooman came to see me at the RSPCA, I was just trying to show her how to sniff a bum and say hello as these hoomans neve rknow how to do it!

Well my 1st night at my new kennel house was a tiring one.

1st of all there was a ghostly figure in the window as the hoomans watched the square box, Infact it looked like the same thing but it was in the window. The hoomans said they needed some curtains, maybe the hairy one is getting a new haircut?

There was lots of noises and lights I wasn't use to, and I'm sure they were a threat to my new hoomans so I soon scared them all off with my barking.

I jumped into their bed a few times just to check they were OK and the hairy one tried to start play time and wrestle me off the bed, doesn't he realise I had work to do?

1 thing I am going to have to sort is the hairy ones dress sense. He took me in the garden this morning wearing a bright blue cookie monster dressing gown and wellies in view of the street, I'm going to have no street cred with the local bi***es of he keeps this up!

Anyway, best catch up on my zzz zzz I'm sure I'll have a busy night on guard again tonight!

Herro!

I'm Loki!

I have had abit of a crappy few years and found myself in some kennals recently.

There was lots of nice people there, they all had RSPCA jumpers on, not sure what that meant?

Maybe Really Sexy People Come Along?

Thats whats happened last week when these 2 sexy hoomans came to visit me.

I found myself there as my previous hooman struggled to look after me.

I didn't like it there too much, there was lots of other dogs barking and lots of noise and smells I was not familiar with, it made me very nervous.

When these 2 sexy hoomans came to visit me they took me for a walk, I was on my best behaviour! I showed them how much I like benches and how snuggly I would be on the sofa at their home.

I was so nervous incase they didn't like me I was afraid to p**p but I couldn't hold it in, the more hairy hooman seemed strangely happy about it, so much so he bagged it up to keep, sicko.

The pretty blonde hooman didnt seem so impressed, I thought she was going to be sick, it was a little smelly I have to admit.

It obviously didnt put them off though as yesterday they came back and took me to their HUGE Kennel!

I like it very much, there is a big comfy sofa, which I think is especially for me! the hairy one kept saying I'd stolen his seat, not sure what a seat is but he keeps stealing my p**p so I think we are even!

I have so much more to tell but for now I need a nap!

bark again soon!
