Tucker left yesterday, and I got an email in the evening to let me know that he had got to his new home safely. Thanks Lisa. Hope all is going well. "Hi Jane, We arrived safely at home around 4:30pm. Tucker was such a good boy during the trip that we managed to drive all the way home in about 4.5 hours without stopping. He slept for most of the journey, waking up a few times but going back to sleep pretty fast. About an hour from home he more properly woke up, I think in part because we'd reached the car park of London traffic. We gave him a chew and he settled down with that, and we made it the rest of the way home. We took him straight to the garden and he had a good sniff and play. He was definitely a bit nervous at first, but seemed to get the hang of it and was running around after half an hour or so. He, eventually, had a poo. He also met a bunch of neighbours from other flats and everyone admired him, especially how friendly he is. He let everyone pick him up and he happily went adventuring around the garden while stopping by his new friends for pets. He met Ted, the 12 year old energetic dog from a neighbouring flat, who is very good with puppies. As soon as we took him inside the flat, he fell asleep on us and then we moved him to his crate. This wasn't initially acceptable - he woke up, wondered over and fell asleep on me. The second transfer to the crate went a bit better. We've offered him food, but he wasn't too interested, so we took him outside again where he had a wonder around before falling asleep on my lap where he currently still is. He's such a wonderful little boy. No doubt our heart strings are going to be tugged tonight. We've already had a few preview whimpers when he initially wakes from a nap. We'll let you know how it goes! Thank you so much. We'll be in touch again soon. Lisa and Tom"
