Henry Day 2 Foster.. so far!

I knew within the first 5 minutes of Henry being at home that whoever adopted him would be getting a lap dog, although not a Velcro dog.

He will come to you when he wants something. He is quite communicative. I know when he wants to go to the toilet (he’s not gone in the house..yet!) and when he wants attention.. and when he wants a treat because he’ll keep looking in the kitchen..

He is so communicative in fact, I thought he was unsettled.. he kept looking upstairs? So I thought let’s go up and see if he follows.. straight on my bed! He wanted another nap on there (he was my little spoon during the night!) So I sat with him whilst he slept and I read my book.

He is not stuck to you at all times, but he has followed me everywhere, I can imagine a lot of shelter doggies may get some separation anxiety, which I haven’t seen because I haven’t needed to leave the house other than with him. But yes, I have a little shadow every where I go, so I hope his new owner will give him time to adjust when it comes to leaving him alone for some time. I can’t imagine he would be destructive as he is a very lazy and chilled boy, but I do feel like he doesn’t want to be alone.

Because of the time of day I’ve been walking him due to the heat, we’ve not really crossed many dogs/other people, but he did have a bark at a spaniel. He’s a bit selective as he’s unbothered by some dogs and bothered by others. Henry walks with such a slack lead, most the time I have to hold it up so it doesn’t tangle in his paws.



I bought some squirty cream for an at home pup cup, he thoroughly enjoyed it as a treat. Henry will automatically sit for treats most of the time.



He’s been very sweet with his toys, he chews and plays but so far hasn’t destroyed them. He also enjoys a short game of tug.. update: more interested in snuffle/kong type toys

The only noise I’ve heard from him is once when my mail was delivered, he hasn’t barked at all apart from that, most of the noise from him has come out of the other end 😂

Henry day 3

My time with Henry is coming to an end 💔 I really hope his future pawrents are reading this!

He loves his strokes and belly rubs. I would say he’s not overly fixated on fluffy toys but he does love to play with his snuffles/puzzle treat toys. He is one chilled out dude most of the time, and I think If the weather had been cooler and he got a midday walk he’d be even more laid back!

I’ll be walking Henry later this evening when it gets cooler but this mornings walk he was fabulous as expected with slack leads, although we have found his arch nemesis.. SQUIRRELS!!! he wanted a piece of them.. and it’s like they were having a family function there were so many of them. He saw a few dogs and didn’t react apart from to a GSD that rumbled at him first.

He’s not overly fond of water from what I can tell. I was watering my garden and he backed away from the hose and the only time he’s not been with me was when I was in the shower.

Overall, if you want a chilled out dog, that enjoys cuddles and sitting on your lap from time to time, Henry is the one for you. He’s a low maintenance chap when it comes to keeping him entertained and hasn’t demanded much more than some attention from time to time.. oh.. and he may lick your toes!

I got to meet Henry today for the first time and I’m a little bit (a lot) in love 😍 he was so easy to harness up and walked really nicely, he enjoyed a big treat in the paddock (sat nicely and didn’t grab it). He’s also liked me giving him some scratches, we then went and sat in the poets hut and ended up being there for about 30 mins as he thought of himself as a lap dog so we had a good cuddle- he really is a big softy!

We have been watching Henry for a while and as Naomi loves the big dogs we took the chance to take him for a walk and play in the paddock today love4.gif

Henry was very easy to harness and get out. He is a bit stop start and wasn’t overly keen to get walking, although the promise of a treat seemed to give him some motivation. We took him to the paddock where he loved the opportunity to lean in for some cuddles and a belly rub. He did enjoy chasing some balls as well.

Since he was not up for a big walk, we moved along to the poets hut where he enjoyed being a lap dog. He gave a bit of a bark when another dog went by but soon settled back to enjoying company.

I can imagine his perfect spot is stretched out on a sofa with lots of love and attention. He is a fabulous boy, a real softie.

I met Henry for the 1st time today 😍

All he wanted to do was plonk himself down on the grass and get belly rubs so we did just that.

A lovable, affectionate Henry!

Henry is such a cuddle bug, he wants to be close at all times, preferably on your lap 🥰 he did play with a ball for a bit too but after a couple of chases he just laid down / rolled around with it. He really is so loving and ready for his own humans!

Today Henry fell asleep in a very demure fashion…….

He is just such a big lump of love and would do sooo well in a home setting. The most gentle giant ❤️ oh how I love you Henry!

Henry is a very soppy and loving dog- he couldn’t think of anything better then playing with a toy and having a good cuddle
