Just over a month ago, handsome Wally (Boatswain Wally) went to live with Alice in Wellington.
Alice sent us this update:
Wally has settled into home life
amazingly well and is such a georgeous boy and a big cuddle monster. We
did have a few inital hiccups such as the stairs in the house which were
absolutely terrifying and after a few weeks (and some gentle coaxing)
he now takes the stairs like a champ and it's as if he always knew how
to use them! He was also pretty scared of his nice new bed but after
some time and tips from Robyn, now loves nothing better but to curl up
on it in the sunshine and snooze.
He's adjusted to Wellington life really well and hops around like a
little puppy when he's about to go out on his walks and absolutely
loves his weekend walks with the other Wellington greyhounds as well as
the GAP organised runs. He's such a gentle, big hearted boy that will go
up to anyone and say hello and hope for some cuddles in return. Many
people in the neighbourhood have commented on what a handsome boy he is.
We've enrolled into dog school (possibly more for me than for him!)
where we're working on getting better at recalls and lying down on
command but he already has bowing on command sorted and he's very proud of it too! :)
Look out for our wee interview in the next issue of Fast Friends!
