We currently have a number of hounds in foster homes and received an update on how Cecil is doing.
Cecil has spent 3 weeks in foster now and I’m pleased to say we have had no issues with him and he is adapting to home life wonderfully. Cecil is house trained and sleeps through the night and is ok to be left as long as he has something to keep him busy, we’ve gone for using a Kong or his favourite teddy (which he carries around the house with him). Cecil loves his lunchtime walks and enjoys going to the park and playing with a tennis ball. Hes friendly with other dogs, doesn’t pay them much attention but I wouldn’t recommend him being rehomed with a small fury or a cat, oh and he LOVES squirrels, he gets very excited around them :’)
I’ve included some photos of him over the last week. His sleep troubles have stopped, he sleeps through the night now and hasn’t growled at us for a while, I’ve heard a few barks at Cali but nothing I am worried about. Cecil has a big personality; Hes very playful (already throwing his tedding around the room and making the squeaker squeak), he is very cuddly and chilled also. Hes such a fabulous dog. We’ve mastered the stairs fine and is happy jumping up and gets into the boot when he wants to. Hes fine with noises just isn’t too keen on the hoover. We tried crate training him but he was petrified of it, so we decided against it. Would maybe try again in a few weeks once he is settled and has a home routine.
Hes very inquisitive and active, which I think he would be suited to a more active family as he loves to be in the garden sniffing and investigating, but he isn’t hard work he has even started giving kisses.
