Well here is another picture of Murphy for those of you who have been following his story since Karlin took him in.
He is looking really well, dont you think?
We got the matts behind his ears sorted within days of him being here...
He likes his baths... or maybe just 'tolerates' them...
But LOVES being blowdried and brushed...
Likes when I scratch his bum lol (even though this was the area we were told he did not like anyone going near!)...
He LOVES cuddles.... (we were told he wasnt quite a 'normal cavalier' in terms of cuddles... but my goodness, how wrong that was)...
He gives kisses now too...
His only dislikes so far are...
Cant touch his wee man... not that I want to or anything... but ya know... was just testing the water!
His nails are getting shorter now but I will need to attempt to clip his dew claws as they are terribly long and sharp now.
Doesnt like if you try to take food out of his mouth! (what dog does like that though???)
Heres another of Murphy and my other half JayDee. We had been walking for about 10 miles and Murph was knackered... so we bundled him up for a bit.
So all in all he is doing really well in the 2 months we've had him. He is very obedient and loves to please. Loves his food so is easily motivated.
I was so nervous about taking him in and dealing with him.. yet at the same time I was confident about doing so. I knew I had the right environment for him and felt this was what he needed! It seems to have done the trick. He's so happy here and thats so lovely to see. To think his previous owner wanted to have him put to sleep is shocking and makes me feel sick to the stomach!
Anyhoo... I'll shut up now!
Heres my other angel, Holly (11months) as well...
