Henry Mastiff x DofB 06.11.12 - 17th June 22

Due to knee issues Henry has been an absolute gent when walking him on my recent visits Not that he isn’t, he is always a lovely walk, slack leads and is definitely getting more confident walking away from the kennels, he just has to tell you which way to go I think the weather helps and dry ground He always loves a roll around in the grass Once back to kennels you can bet he’ll walk you towards the paddock....Henry loves the paddock and a tennis ball which once finished he will take back to his kennel along with many others already there

Henry was very excited when my sister arrived this morning. He just loves being around people but sometimes doesn't know what to do with himself. He calmed down shortly but grabbed a cushion in the meantime.
He was happily playing in the garden this morning when a pigeon spooked him and he ran indoors. He's a funny lad is Henry. So we had a walk up the road before he decided to stop and stare at me; his signal to turn around. So back we went, straight in the van and off to walk with Star and Paul. We got 200yds down the road and Henry fancied no more. Despite the best efforts of Star she could only look on, unrequited and forlorn!
We headed back and decided to start the spring gardening. Henry was not very helpful.

I had my first walk with Henry a few weeks back. He is a cracking boy, so sweet natured.
Would you like to walk our lovely dogs too?

After walking Marie on Wednesday we then took Henry out. I went into his kennel and sat on the arm of the sofa he has in there to let him settle as he was very excited and he immediately came to me for cuddles and lots of licking. When he had stopped washing me we put on his Dogmatic head collar, leads and set off for a walk. He's a strong good natured dog and only pulled a bit at the start and then settled down to an easy pace. We then went to the paddock for some ball chasing and more cuddles in the sun.

Henry was an absolute dream yesterday
He welcomed new walker Ian like a long lost friend and walked so beautifully Henry does look back regularly for reassurance, kind words and a big smile do wonders for this boys confidence.
Henry is a plodder and is such wonderful company and after a lovely walk we we ended up In the paddock, this is where Henry truly shines, he shrugs off any worries and becomes the big old loving goofball that he is
It was rather wonderful to see 2 new people meet Henry and receive proper Henry kisses and cuddles (it was full on face washes!) and they relished every second of it I think Henry has made some new friends

We took the very friendly and cuddly Henry out for our second supported walk last Tuesday I think he remembered us from the last time as he was so good having his dogmatic fitted. We went with Geoff and Tye and both dogs behaved perfectly. We were going to go in the paddock but it was occupied. We were told we could take him in the other second paddock which was empty so we went in there briefly. He had a bit of a chase around after balls and then rolled in a muddy puddle, apolagies to anyone who had to clean him.

He is my favourite little man!!! I have walked him so many times and never had any issues. He just wants so much love and it breaks my heart that he still hasn’t found his forever home. So much love for you handsome boy

Walked the easy and very friendly Henry today. He's rapidly become one of our favourites. On his walk he went into the river twice and had a good splash about. Back in the paddock he had a good sniff around and some more cuddles.
