Billy has been renamed Henry and he's responding to it quite well.
We
know he had four years of "Billy", so we weren't sure how it would go,
but he took to it immediately - the sound of our voice plus the fact
that the endings of both names are the same.
He's
settling in so nicely. We're trying to match all the love he got at
the Shelter, which means lots and lots of walks and affection.
He seems to carry a celebrity status with him wherever he goes -
everyone wants to meet him and he loves it. Our cat was
suspicious at first, but is now back to his old self. Given
Henry's amazing disposition, we are sure they will soon become forever
friends.
He is
so well-behaved - he only comes up on the couch when invited, and he
has perfect leash manners. He loves to be brushed, and he loves
his bones and plush toys. He is a bit possessive of his bones,
so we will be working on that with him. He is gentle with other
dogs, but is happiest when with people.
I've
attached some pictures of Henry during his first week with us.
We will be sure to keep you posted.
We
feel like we've won the doggy lottery. Thank you SPCAWQ for
bringing him to us, and for all that you do for the animals.
