Remember When...

I'm sure you can all remember when Chance first came in and we classed him as deaf. Over time we've learnt hes not deaf but has selective hearing. You say his name and he will glance over. Today he was stealing Sallys biscuits, I shouted Chance, he pricked his ears, went back to eating so shouted him again and he creeped forward after he'd filled his mouth with food. He is a very cheeky boy, if he thinks nobodies in the house he will counter surf so the kitchen door needs to be shut! 

Today was the big decider of whether he was deaf, Chance was let off lead! My dad went up to meet our rescue photographer and the results are heart warming. He looks so happy I could cry and it makes me so proud to have accepted him as a foster. If it wasn't for this rescue he would have being PTS simply because nobody wanted him at the pound. Chance responded well off lead and mainly comes back to clapping, so don't think his hearings perfect but he can hear the noises that matter. He loves running next to you and will keep going even when you've stopped... at which point he'll turn around and realise and come back. I'm so happy for him and don't think theres much more to say other than here are the photos:

 

 

 

So hard to post

I really have so little to add, Chance is really more of my dads foster dog so I'm finding it so hard updating on how well he is doing. He is getting more confident and when he is out on his walks he is the happiest boy around, he walks lovely on the lead and if you want to go for a run he can run next to you.

All I can do for now is add this video of him and hope that someone sees the true happiness in him :)

P.s. really sorry for the lack of updates but had a mad assignment rush but I'm on the final countdown and education for me is nearly over... not that I'll stop learning. Working with animals is a constant learning curve and you learn something new everyday :)
