Teddy is still a happy boy, living out his retirement following Tiki and Kiri about.

He's settled incredibly well, friends with all the cats. Or perhaps despite his size, very respectful towards them.

Current position...



He's fully jabbed up with his doggy jabs at the vet. We also got him inoculated against Rabies because Teds is off to France on holiday with his girls at the end of July.

Obviously Teddy in a beret might be a step too far, but we'll give at go. laugh

We still feel incredibly lucky to have such a lovely polite boy. He's so gentle when taking a treat, always comes when called (better than Tiki the Springer!) and is so protective of us all, without being aggressive.

I don't think there's an aggressive bone in his body.

Brilliant, and he's obviously loving his new life. beer

If you go to Europe regularly with him it would be worth getting him a French passport. We take ours a couple of times a year and it saves the nonsense of the export paperwork you have to complete each time you travel at £170 a time. You just need to be there for 2-3 weeks to slow time for it to process, a French address (we used the airbnb we were staying at) and €80 and she can come and go as she pleases. Our French vet had been encouraging us to do this for the past couple of visits and it was dead easy.

This update gave me a genuine physical warm glow. Such an amazing story, and I'm beyond pleased that it turned out how it did.

If you do manage to get an EU passport for your pet, under no circumstances allow a UK vet to enter anything in it

About 6kg. He was 58kg when we got him, 52kg two weeks ago.

He's loving life though. Running about everywhere. Not quite as quick as Tiki and Kiri. biggrin
Weight reduction? Typical PH mods. Bet you've had him chipped too laugh

Seriously, really enjoying Teddy's progress, what a great life you've given him. Kudos.

Love the way he's protecting the telescope that's viewing the neighbour's bedroom. judgelaugh

Whenever I see a dog with their eyes closed and their nose up just sniffing the breeze I know I'm looking at a happy dog beast smile
