Good to see Kevin is settled in his foster home. He really is such a sweet boy.

How wonderful to see Kevin in foster, no doubt it will help the little fella regain his confidence.
I was lucky enough to walk him during the lunch break last Saturday, when he was still in Chessington.
To start with he was rather unsure of himself and kept looking back towards the kennels. Once by Green Lane, he started to relax and had a good sniff around, even gave me a big smile and a kiss while I tried to take a photo of him :-) Unfortunately I wasn't fast enough with the camera to capture it.
All through the walk he continue to relax more, and became more confident. He was absolutely no trouble on the lead, adjusted his speed to mine, trotting along very happily, sniffing here and there. He was lovely with people - he really liked greeting all of the ladies we met along the walk, standing on his hind legs to get closer to them and to claim some cuddles.
There were quite a few groups of off-lead dogs around that day, who he was quite interested in, even though a little nervous. Then we met a nice lady with a female springer spaniel - and Kevin was smitten! He took quite a shine to the spaniel, so sweet to see him happy and excited.
Below a few photos of this cute boy

Well Kevin has settled very well and had his last jab on Thursday so is ready for his forever home, he was very good with the vet, if a little wary, but was easily bribed by her ready supply of gravy bones.
He's a bit of a little monkey and wants fuss all the time if I so much as pop to the loo you would think I'd been gone for days!!
He has finally realised that the cats are not his playthings and pretty much ignores them unless, of course, they run.
He absolutely loves kids and an ideal home for him would be in a family situation with plenty going on to keep him occupied, being a youngster he is easily bored.
Will post some more pics at the weekend

Kevin has come to stay with me for the weekend (his foster family are off on holiday), he arrived last night and we spent a lovely hour with his foster mum and dad and foster bro Marmite, bless the wee lad he was a little bewildered when they headed off but then dinner was on the menu and he loved that ! Very food focused is this gorgeous boy !
This morning Kevin was still a little shy but a good boy doing his business in the garden and then enjoyed his breakfast Later on we headed for a short walk before jumping in the car to head to the kennels so I could walk some of the other woofers, Kevin waited like a gentleman in the large crate in Charlie's car with the windows all open so the breeze flowed through, such a good boy.
Walking over we headed to the local pub garden for a quick drink and Kevin was my best friend, jumped on my lap (still in Charlie's car, she was driving so lap was safe !!!), cuddled in and I even got a kiss, his nerves have evaporated and we've had a top afternoon, Kevin is a superstar
Our morning walk... Enjoying the sunshine in the pub garden... And more of the same after we got home, in my garden... Soaking up the beautiful sunshine Such a gentle loving boy, he's now cuddled up next to me on the sofa Love him xxx
