Paul Patterdale DOB 10.07 Crawley W Sussex fosteredPaul was taken in 7 weeks ago by a family as he had nowhere to go. He has been rough treated and very little offered. He is from working stock but never worked. They have held him looking for another home but it all became desperate today he informed them their 2 lurcher bitches came into season  Paul & Craig are travelling down tomorrow morning to meet Jess and coming via Liverpool from Blackpool to pick him up and I will be meeting him at Stephen and Melissa's at noon tomorrow.
Paul has been wormed. We will get his neutering etc. sorted next week.

Paul was collected 6am this morning from Liverpool and landed in Basingstoke 12.30. Temperment superb! He has been kept outside..has a very subservient attitude very accepting and very gentle. You can see from his photos
Paul is a love. We went to the vets for a thorough check over and he is in very good health. He has been recently wormed; so now he has had his first vax. Had a wonderful walk in the woods on arrival at the kennels and then a male kennel staff member came to take him to his kennel and picked him up in his arms without hesitation and got 2 gentle licks on his cheek. So Paul...soon have you in with your family just snip and chip to go now!
NB We have called him Paul as his previous owner who took him in was called Paul; One of his transporters was called Paul and my brother's name is Paul and it was his birthday yesterday.

Met Paul today and he is lovely. Very gentle, calm and easy going, a pleasure to walk, interested in everything but not over excited. Paul's recall seems to be very good too. In fact, he's just perfect!

How do you think he would be with a cat and 8 year old child?

Paul went into the vets this morning sadly quite lively not quite expecting needles and things bless. He was snipped and was found to be chipped. Amanda and Gareth collected him from the vets and carried him out to the car. Amanda will tell the story from there...

 Yesterday evening when we arrived back home, he was feeling a little sorry for himself, bless him. He was shivering and shaking an awful lot but Dee put my mind at rest by advising that it was perfectly normal. Paul and Peppa had a gentle meet and greet before he went off to sniff out his new surroundings. He enjoyed his dinner with gusto and then went straight out to relieve himself in the garden which was something I wasn't expecting - what a star!
He settled perfectly during the night and greeted us with a waggy tail this morning along with a request to go and visit the garden again!
He is such a love, he's been following me everywhere in the house and if I sit down he does too at my feet. So trusting and accepting.
After breakfast, we went for a stroll around the park. He was very eager to go out and both himself and Peppa walked beautifully together (Peppa blue lead, Paul red):
He met a few of the regular dogs down at the park and was keen to interact with them - no problems at all. However, I have to say that I had forgotten what it is like to have to stop at every tree trunk!
Back home, Peppa flopped into her bed (that'll be her till 4pm now) but Paul was still inquisitive. He met the chickens with a 'Yeah, so what' attitude and then sniffed out a chew to play with:
All in all, a very successful day - will keep you posted on developments.

What a perfect family for Paul. I love to read the beginning of a thread when I see such a happy ending. What a different life this lovely boy has been given when you compare it to his past.
Well done all especially Peppa for making him so welcomed.
