Today at 6 in the morning our little Finn arrived at Schiphol Airport !! After customs and all the paperwork they finally brought us at 8.15 hours our little Finn.  He was totally excited...

 We were both very happy to finally meet each other !

 Then we tried to let him go to the toilet outside but he was so excited, he kept running and jumping and just wanted to be cuttled. So we got in our car for our two hour drive home, I did put the bench in the car with food and drinks, he ate like crazy and drank some water and washed his paws in it, ha,ha ! After that he was just running around in the bench and jumped up and off my lap, he was totally hyper ! After a half hour drive he finally did a little pee at the back of the bench.  We made one coffee/toilet stop on our way home, and after that we arrived at our home. He looked around our house and garden, he was glued to our feet the whole time.

 At lunchtime the kids came home from school, they all fell in love instantly !

 He is a puppie full of life just as I asked for, I can see through Finn how well you and Helen have read my application form and the letter I had attached to it, my compliments are for all of you ! You have selected the best puppie for this family and for me. He settled down so easily, I was really stunned, he is here now for 6 days but he walks around like he has lived here for years. The first few days I could know that he was confused and missing his surroundings and all your routines at Rutland Manor. He felt insecure, he was not able to lie down on his own , to go for a walk and just sniffle around he was completly glued to my leg. I felt sorry for him but did not made a big fuss out of it, I just went along with my day to day activities. He soon felt my confidence and let go of his insecurities. 

 Just as we speak, Finn is running around the garden, having a plastic cup in his mouth and showing off to Pip, what a pair ! Now he comes inside showing me the cup, ha,ha ! The first two days he was a bit snappy towards Pip, but she just waited she did nothing, no growl, no biting. She invited him to play contantly and now Finn is really into her, they bring each other so much fun, it's great to see !

 After another nap he met our Labrador Pip, Pip was totally excited, Finn was at first a bit overwhelmed and was a bit snappy. Pip took more distance and was very gentle with him, I took them for a walk to make them more at ease and when I drove home they even shared the bench.

He is so cute, he's the naughty little boy we were looking for. He has amazing green eyes and a coat so soft you couldn't believe. He is not afraid of anything, he is very confident but also very cuddly. When you pick him up he is completely at ease. It's only his first day but he did tremendously GREAT. So many things to take in but he took it all like a pro !

Beverly, Helen, Leanne and all others who took such great care of him and all the other dogs, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !
I promise you I will take care of him as best as I possibly can !

Beverley, Helen and all at Rutland Manor,

Attached are a couple of photos of Nala in her new home.  She had a brilliant first night last night.  She went into her crate (by our bed) with no problems and slept for a whole 8 hours!  Our cat is slowly getting used to her and my sons are delirious, she certainly keeps all of us entertained.

Best wishes,

Emma C Singapore

Yes our gorgeous puppy Arnie has arrived safely to us here in Zurich,

He’s doing well with us now (see the attached pictures), even if he sometimes is a bit naughty!! ;-)

He has adjusted just fantastic to the rhythm of our day such as eating, sleeping, relaxing and playing. Our only minor problem is that he only wants to have a walk if we are more than one person doing the walking.
