Thank you all for taking them into your home.
We're so glad that they are settling so well.
Please give them both huge cuddles from us and thank you for taking them into your home.
Very best wishes from Celia, Jimmy and their pals at the kennels.

A bit of an update, as it's now been several months.

Somewhat unfortunately we ended up having to give Marty back to GRF as he did not really settle into our home. We were very sad to see him go, but we knew we had to do what was best for him - and as of today when I'm posting this, I am very happy to see that he found his new forever home only a few short weeks thereafter.

As for Jewel? She has settled quite happily into the role of sole family pet, and has taken to her training in earnest. She's an attentive and quick study, and has rapidly learned how to come when called, how to sit and lie down, give a paw, and is learning more on a daily basis. She's a bit of a cuddle monster and loves making friends with everyone she encounters, dog and human alike.

We've been gradually getting her used to the idea that there will be periods of time when one or two of her favourite humans will be out of the house, in preparation for when workplaces reopen. Thankfully, she's showing that she's quite happy to laze around fast asleep, so long as she's in one of her favourite spaces where she feels safe. We feel confident that she'll be just fine, so long as she has at least one of her humans around should she start to feel lonesome (which, of course, she will).

She's also due a visit to the vet soon for her spaying, plus a bit of work on her teeth. No doubt she will give us the saddest eyes for a while after she's had her operation, but we're sure she'll find it in her heart to forgive us afterwards!

Suffice it to say, she is very happily settled and has made herself a permanent fixture in our house. It properly feels like home with her around, and we're certain she'll have a long and happy life with us.
