We’ve heard from Deefer‘s new owner. Deefer has an important job working at a veterinary surgery…

Deefer could also be known as Default as he kind of is. I was initially drawn to the current dogs of the month but on enquiring found they were being homechecked, would I be interested in anyone else?? So I had another look at the site and there he was – the big guy. Now I am the first to admit he isn’t the most photogenic which may explain why he’d had no enquires at all at that stage!

We had a slightly shaky start with he and Jonny (the cat, not Wilkinson sadly) not getting on too well, mainly Jonny’s fault I might add, but they’ve settled down brilliantly now (see photo!).

He’s rather bigger than I was looking for, at 30kgs, but that just means there’s more to cuddle. He’ll climb up on the settee with me at night & snuggle up. He is an absolute joy on walks, absolutely loves his ball and is a perfect gent to all we meet, unless I stand & chat too long then he’ll bark his head off to chivvy me along.

He comes into work at the vets with me & snoozes under my desk & laps up the attention from the clients.

So, if anyone out there is undecided on an oldie, please don’t be put off by a photo, the foster mums do a fantastic job and will really bring out the best in these poor guys who really shouldn’t be starting again at their time of life.
