Rocco has a great nights sleep - initially he was reluctant to settle and stay in my bedroom, I learnt that if I’d had lever doors he’d have opened it himself to let himself out !!! But I don’t have lever handles so I let him out instead as he was sure he didn’t want to stay there with the door shut !
We went downstairs and I let him out incase he needed to go but he didn’t. He curled up on the small sofa (dog sofa !) by the back door so I checked the surfaces were clear of anything edible (his appetite could drive him to counter surf !) and moved my bin into the utility room just in case and went back to bed leaving my bedroom door open. That meant he had free choice of where he was, the sofa or cushions/dog bed in the lounge or back to me. I dozed off and woke about an hour later to little pawsteps on my wooden stairs and the lovely Rocco jumped on my bed, curled up and settled instantly :D
My bedroom door stayed open (I figured maybe that’s what he didn’t like the first time) and he stayed out on my bed until 8.30 this morning when we got up !

As I type this Rocco is a star, I think he’s just opened the back door (lever handle !!!) and let himself into the garden for a wee !!! I am watching him through the french windows in the lounge ! I’m pretty sure the back door was closed so my suspicions that he knows how to open doors confirmed !!

Now he’s come inside and sat curled up close to me which is his fave place on the sofa love4.gif

Rocco can open the back door but didn’t shut it on the way in so I’m going to have to move soon to keep the cold out !!!

Well Rocco has super impressed me today. It was a beautiful morning and I had a new 1.5hr walk I wanted to try out from my house so decided we’d set off.

I’ll be honest I have seen Rocco around the kennels pulling on his lead so I was expecting a walk to stretch my legs and my arms !!! How wrong was I ...

I can honestly say we had the most relaxed and wonderful walk, relaxed loose lead walking as per the videos above, lovely connected company, mention his name or reach for my treat pouch and Rocco was there beside me, love love love him love4.gif

In fact I extended the walk by another half hour as we were having such a lovely time on such a lovely day.

We met several dogs and Rocco was superb, stood with me as they passed by, relaxed as can be and just happy being, how I love that love4.gif

We were on the road for part too and cars no bother whatsoever, a very noisy motorbike spiked interest but a nanoseconds worth !!!

It really was perfection, I was so proud of Rocco it almost brought tears to my eyes. I have seen such a chilled boy staying with me and out and about, so accomplished for a relatively young boy, just such a different dog to the one I see in his kennel - Rocco has surpassed every expectation - come on let’s get this boy into his home where he will shine shine shine :crossfingers.gif: thumbs.gif love4.gif
