At long last we are all hoping that TJ has found his Forever Foster Home, and the following email I received from him certainly sounds like he is happy but also has his work cut out!:
"I left SHAK okay but to be honest his transport was somewhat cramped. A mini. Not really built for a chap of my status, but more of that later. After a visit to his daughter and a quick play with Holly I got him to fold the rear seats down, much better and we were off.
After about an hour of travelling we stopped and he offered me a drink of water, would you believe in a bowl that still had a sticker in it, I naturally refused. He said to stretch legs but after a few hundred yards he wanted to turn round, of course insisted we did a bit more, honestly some people. We then continued on without incident to his home where I inspected everything to ensure it was up to standard. My bed a duvet was satisfactory. but the sofa was better (ps don't
tell him I got of it before he got up in the morning).
He is well trained in feeding me regularly with chappie food I can see I am going to have to work on him to get a proper bit of fish and chicken. One thing I must say is some of these Yorkshire residents are quite hostile on our regular walks we have been attacked by what Peter calls a horse and a lamb fortunately I was able to protect him on both occasions by putting myself on the other side of him away from these ferocious people?.
I am sorry to say I can see no quick solution in my official capacity as P P P T (person peters personal trainer) he is getting quicker at moving but I must be brutally honest I don't believe I will ever get him fast enough to catch even a lame rabbit. He takes ages climbing over styles I try to show him he could save a lot of time by simply jumping the wall but he wont even try.
One good point about transport is I get to inspect whatever he carries, only the other day I was able to help by spotting he had some sausages in his shopping so with no regard to my own health I managed to eat them for him before we got home.
So I am sorry to inform you that it looks like you are going to have to cope without me as I feel I am needed here as I have a lot of work on with this Peter person. Will keep you informed as to my efforts
All the best TJ ."
I think everyone at SHAK is with you on this one TJ, just keep being you!
