“Well, what an eventful time the last 4 months have been. On December the 16th I was adopted. I didn’t get off to the best of starts when I vomited all over my new sister in the car going home. My new Mum wasn’t too upset, she laughed and said that it made a change for Nya (my new sister) to be being vomited on rather than doing the vomiting as apparently she used to get car sick too though she has grown out of it now.

Thanks for rehoming me to my new Mum and sister, I’m having a whale of a time, oh and growing lots too, Mum is getting worried that there won’t be any room in the bed for her soon. I’ll keep in touch.”

Hi everyone,

Just sending you some pictures of Bru (Bruno - above) in his new home, looking relaxed and well behaved! (Bet you didn't think we'd be saying that!)

Although there was an odd occasion where we thought we'd be bringing him back, he wont go anywhere near the car and so he'll have to stay (!). On a serious note, he is now a much loved member of the Hair family and loves long walks, meeting all his friends on route and lots of cuddles.

Training is going extremely well... He has learnt to sit and wait (even with a bowl of food in front of him). However the come baaaaaaaaack(!) we are still working on.

Ann, Jim and Bruno
