Dash now enjoys playing with his toys and will enthusiastically run around the flat, fetching them and bringing them back when they’re thrown. However, once the game has finished, he instantly goes back to chilling out calmly.
Dash attracts a lot of attention and comments on his fantastic behaviour when we’re out and about, which he takes in his stride. He loves meeting people, though he doesn’t think he’s said hello properly without a hug and a lick! He is generally very laid-back and copes well with new experiences. The only exception is sprays – whether that’s a bottle of cleaning fluid (a good excuse not to do any cleaning this week!), a can of air freshener or a shower head – which make him extremely anxious, and he quickly tries to back away and hide.
We’ve been going to secure fields so that Dash can stretch his legs, and it’s been so lovely to watch him charge around, perform endless roly-polys and just thoroughly enjoy himself. Even when he’s very excited, he’ll usually come immediately when his name is called and sit when asked to.
I’m absolutely loving spending time with Dash – he so deserves the chance to have his own forever home, and any family would be extremely lucky to have him in their lives.
