Re: Toby Patterdale DoB 30.01.13 RRemedies Centre
This morning he had his breakfast, went in the garden for his first lot of going to the loo and then spent an hour shadowing me as he was waiting for his long walk over the lakes. He just waits so quietly outside the bathroom and bedroom door. No noise or pestering. Very sweet.
He wagged his tail as we met my Mum and her retriever Kara. Kara had just had her arthritis injection so was super energetic and a bit of a silly retriever. She was leaping around so much that she nearly landed on Toby’s head and at one point jumped right over him lengthways along a pathway, rather than barging past and knocking into him. Toby didn’t bother. Got some great videos of their interactions. Mum commented on how much more relaxed he is with loads of dogs around. He got a bit pully on the lead with a very woofy spaniel but we walked past and he didn’t bother. Today he didn’t react once and there were a lot of dogs coming and going. He’s staying another night and I will take him back early tomorrow.

Toby is so cute!
It was my first time meeting him but he was perfectly happy going off on a walk with me.
As you can see in the video, Toby has got a definite spring in his step and showed zero signs of slowing down.
Maybe he knows I usually walk the big dogs and wanted to prove to me he can also keep up!
Toby is certainly tuned in to his walker and was no trouble whatsoever. He was happy for me to take him back to his kennel and take his harness off after our walk.
I would be delighted to take Toby out again.
So, if you'd like a cute old boy with a lot of life in him, Toby's your man!

Two foster visits to catch up on. Toby continues to be a wonderful guest. I’m amazed at his agility and balance. He spent quite a long while brushing his beard with his back leg, whilst standing on the other three!!
We didn’t meet my Mum and her dog this week as they were busy, instead we popped into my friends for a cuppa as she lives near Earlswood lakes. We didn’t go inside as we were both muddy, sat on her patio with his leads on still. He sniffed around the patio with lots of interest, probably mice. He enjoyed a thin slice of cheese. We carried on our walk up to St John’s.
