    Apologies this has taken so long. unfortunately I cant upload photos with my ipad anymore :(

    Anyway, we have seen Spero twice since he went to his forever home just over 3 weeks ago. He is definitely improving in lots of areas :) His reactivity to other dogs is getting a lot better - Claire (his new mum) has managed to take him for a walk with a few other dogs locally. He seems to be less reactive, but still wants to say hi to other dogs and gets frustrated by this, but once he has said hello, he looses interest and carries on walking. At home he settled in really well, he adores his new parents and they adore him :D. He has a dog door so he can go into the garden whenever he wants and learnt this very quickly. He still loves trying to catch flies, bees and birds and will leap into windowsills to try and catch them! I get updates on a regular basis and also have built a good friendship with Claire and Scott. We will be keeping in contact which I am really pleased about. they may even come on our next SW forum walkies :cool:.
    Claire and Spero have been over today to play. Harley and Spero have a really good relationship and they played lots. Today Claire showed us how they have taught him to give paw and to lie down :D. He is still as loving as always and follows everyone around, but really has found his feet :)
    Here are a few pics

    Oh, that's lovely. You must feel so happy (and proud of your role helping him along, I hope) that he has found a great home. :)

    Wonderful photos! Great to keep in touch, really reassuring to see how well he is getting on, and how committed his new owners are to supporting Spero through the challenges in his new life :D

    He looks so happy... How lovely that he has found such a great home. You did a great thing for him Naya.

    Does he look a bit thin, or is it just me used to the Chunky Monkey (aka Poppy)?

    Great to hear that everything has worked out so well for him. He's very handsome and looks very happy!

    I'd say a touch on the thin side. Better that than fat though....

    He is on the slim side - their vets have suggested getting around 2kgs on him so they have started increasing his meals This week. He has put on a kilo since he left us and looks better for it . He is such a happy boy and his new family is wonderful .

    Thank you for keeping us updated Ternaya. It does the heart good to see this boy looking so happy, and to know that forum members had a part in rescuing him from that horrible pound. Well done :D
