Zooomies..... almost!

Clark ALMOST joined in with zoomies in the field with the girls today! Molly was trying to get him to 'zoom' with her but then Wena decided she wanted to 'zoom' rather than chase her ball. Off they went and Clark took off after them, full tilt, but the girls then started a bitey face game (it sounds like they are killing each other but its just typical terrier play) which he was worried about so came back to me for reassurance, bless him.  

He is really keen to walk now and even lay down in the stream today, only a little dip but he was having a little drink and evidently fancied a bath too! He is also starting to sniff about in the hedges after rabbits.... learning to be a country boy. 

He is so much better in himself - he is a very happy chap ..... excited to see us in the morning, excited to have his breakfast and tea (he flaps his front legs and dances about!) excited for his walk in the afternoon, very happy to come to work with me, happy to see our nurses and vets, (he gives everyone a wide berth until he knows them but then he is delighted when he finds he does know them and gives them happy cuddles), he's even happy to take his medication and have his eye drops put in.  One of our vets, who saw him when he first arrived but not since, commented just how much she could see he has improved... she couldn't believe he was the same dog, the difference is just so marked. 

From this...

sad little boy....

To this....... 

sniffing the breeze in a buttercup filled field!!

 

We are working on his urinary problems and although he is still leaking when sleeping he is much much better when he is awake. He has had no accidents in the house (that is, he hasn't intentionally peed) and prefers to poo outside of the garden whilst on a walk. He sleeps at night, in his favorite bed, next to my bed and if I leave the room he will wait for me to come back rather than follow me to the bathroom as he used to, so his confidence is growing daily. 

Thank you for following Clarks progress, he is looking for a forever home so if you have fallen in love with him, just as we have then take a look at the TerrierSOS website, if not Clark Kent there are others in need ....... to foster or adopt!
