Nigel just being the best boy ever as usual, we have thoroughly enjoyed our autumn walks and will miss the leaves. You can see in the videos what an easy chilled walk it is with Nigel, he just loves a good stroll

I fostered Nigel for the third time last weekend and as always he was the perfect house guest. He’s such a joy to have around, and I just love every second with him. This time we had my sisters house to ourselves and because he knows it well now he pretty much went straight to sleep on the sofa, he was so tired and so grateful for a warm, comfy spot, even more happy when he found out we were sleeping in her king size bed. The next morning he clearly still had lots of sleep to catch up on, because he didn’t wake up properly till around midday. He’s the cutest sleepover buddy, super cuddly but also gives you space to sleep, it’s the perfect balance. Every now and then he’d wake up, look at me, then wriggle into my arms for a cuddle.
I took him for a long walk around south London with a friend, mostly sticking to residential streets to avoid off-lead dogs since he doesn’t love them running up to him. He was amazing! Walked perfectly on the lead, ignored people and on-lead dogs (I give him space around passing dogs and with just a bit he’s unfazed and non reactive) and completely unbothered by everything; kids on bikes, prams, traffic… my friend was so impressed. We stopped at her flat for a cup of tea and he was so chill, said hi to her boyfriend, explored a bit, then soaked up cuddles while watching a roast being cooked. He really is such an easygoing dog.
He’s so polite with food, I ate a pizza on the sofa whilst he was sleeping next to me, he looked up once then went back to sleep. He understands what’s his food and what’s yours, although I do share my bananas with him as he loves them. He is quite attached and likes to follow me around, but that always gets better towards the end of the weekend. Once he settled somewhere comfy, like the bed, he was totally fine sleeping on his own while I showered. Its no surprise he sticks close at first, he’s been abandoned three times that we know of, and I’m his familiar person. I’m sure once he has his forever home he’ll settle quickly.
He wasn’t happy about our early Monday morning start, took some convincing to get him out of bed… He is not a morning dog and could’ve happily stayed there all day but I’d booked him a secure field on the way back to RR.
He’s usually non-reactive in the car, but on the drive back from London when we were stopped at traffic lights he reacted to a couple of dogs walking past, which he’s never done before. At the secure field there were horses in the field next to us and he didn’t react at all, just more interested in the horse poo on the other side of the fence.
I honestly can’t put into words how much I love this boy. Even the way he looks at me just melts my heart, those warm eyes, that waggly tail, and the way he smiles with his whole body. It hurts so much that I can’t adopt him, but I know his perfect person is out there, and he deserves the best forever home. I’m so grateful for every moment I get with him. I’ll love this angel boy forever
