Thank you all for your good wishes for Dante.
I am amazed that he is settling in so well. He has only had one "panic" moment where he thought he had "lost" me!! I went to the bathroom - he thought I had gone to the bedroom and shot out of the livingroom - past the bathroom - down the hall and into the bedroom, found that I wasn't there and galloped back up the hall - past the bathroom again - and into the livingroom.
When he couldn't find me he stood in the doorway and made a sort of yodeling noise!! I called him and he followed my voice and was very relieved to "find" me.
His little tail wagged furiously and he jumped up and down giving little squeaks of delight.
This forum has been a lifeline for me and I am SO grateful for the friends I have made here. I have met a lot of people during my life but NONE as caring and supportive as you all have been.
I hope and pray that these friendships continue for many years and that perhaps some of us may actually meet in real life at some point.
Dante sends snuggles, hugs and Brabancon kisses to all his other Mums and Dads!!!
