koalathebearOur new foster dog arrived today.
He was named Kip, but we have renamed him Dyson as he's a mini-Hoover.
Progress Table
Assessed him quickly today. Will update as he progresses.
Optional:
He's very cute
We actually saw him in August on our vet's facebook page as one of the puppy class attendees
Regrettably he proved to be too naughty and active for his family so they've decided to surrender him.
