I never met Jaffa but read all about him on the forum when he first came to Gatwick kennels. My son Chris also kept me up to date on his progress. It is so good to see he is now homed. Have a wonderful life Jaffa - you deserve the comforts of a loving home after all you've been through. Sending you lots of

Jaffa has arrived in his new home. He was remarkably good in the car on the way home. When he got back here his cough flared up a bit so we had a comical period of time of following him round, first with a mop and eventually just with a towel clearing up the foam that he was hacking up. He had a good sniff round the house, tried to mount Kane a few more times and then chilled out with us on the sofa. Was introduced to Oskar the cat which didn't go perfectly, so we will have a little work to do there but are pretty confident we can desensitize him.
We had a few trials trying to get Jaffa to settle down for bed. Although they were both very tired and chilled we were concerned that if they woke before us Jaffa could become amorous towards Kane, which would result in Kane getting vocal, so initially we tried Jaffa in the Kitchen with Kane in the living room, but Jaffa was a bit nervous and yappy so we tried putting them in the same room and they slept without any disturbances or barking.
We have just got back from our local walk with Kane and Jaffa and they had a lovely time. Jaffa was a little nervous in big open fields but he had a lot to take in.
Going into Brighton in a minute with Elle & Jaffa as I have an appointment and we want to pick up a nice leather collar and a waterproof jacket for him.
Photos to follow :)

Jaffa enjoyed his trip to Brighton. He went for a walk on the beach and met a very friendly english bulldog called George who Jaffa greeted enthusiastically. It was quite nippy out so we popped into a pub for a drink (until the pub dog woke up and started barking which made Jaffa a little nervous so we trekked on). We went to a pet shop and bought a nice new snug harness and a very smart new brown leather collar. and came home. Jaffa is currently curled up on the sofa in his red jumper fast asleep. Another big day for Jaffa :)
