The three CKCS are now with different fosterers as we needed them to learn to be independent as we are realistic to understand they will not be rehomed together. Splitting them up also help us to differentiate their personalities.
Shaggy is a very sweet boy if I may use the word sweet for boys. When we first brought him home, he was like lost and were a little scared of my two other furkids at home. But once he is familiar with them, he is fine. Shaggy is not toilet or paper trained, sadly. He is very good with holding his pee and poo till he gets to go out for his walk.
When we first took over the fostering, Shaggy's eyes were so badly infected that he can't really see properly and always bump into things in his way. His ears were also infected and smells.
After consulting the Vet with medications to clean and wash his eyes and ears every day, his eyes is so much better now and his ears are not so smelly as well. Shaggy is now a happier boy, he even tried to play, hope and jump especially when we come home from work or school.
When we walk him every morning, the first part of the walk i have to carry him and walk very fast towards the grass area so that he will not pee on the pavement. And he really holds till he reached the permitted area and there he lets it all out and its really alot of urine.
Shaggy is still pretty skinny and his legs are not strong enough to stand too long but he never gives up walking, he enjoys walking with us every morning and sometimes in the evening as well.
Oh yes, Shaggy is a very 'greedy' boy, he eats alot and pretty fast too. Shaggy is also learn the simple command like SIT, WAIT and GO. He now sleeps with us all and with my two other furkids. He is free to roam around the house although at times he may pee everywhere.
He always wags his tail when you call his name and you can see that he is so happy.
In another 5 days' time, he is due for review and by then we believe he should be fine and putting on some weight.
Update of Shaggy by a fosterer
Just a little update on Shaggy as requested. I'm falling in love with him already......heeee.

This is an update on Maggie ( the sterlised female)
A lovely docile 6 year old sterilised dog. Wonderful temperament, gets along with other dogs and exceptionally good with kids and people. She is recovering from an ear infection and even when we have to dig into her ears to clean, a very painful and uncomfortable process, she will whine and cry and probably struggle to get away but she never bites. You can also pop medicine into her mouth by opening her jaws, she won't bite and obediently swallows even though she doesn't quite like the taste. She is very trusting and loving and loves following you around the house. If you are sitting on the sofa she will sleep by your feet, a real lap dog Maggie is.
We are looking for a committed home who has experience with spaniel's long ears and the needs she will require. Once her infection clears, it will be just regular maintainence. Maggie has never been toilet trained by her previous owners and sometimes gets locked up a tiny cage for long periods of time. She treats the newspapers like her bed (we suspect this is all she had to sleep on previously) and will not dirty the paper. She does not know what grass is and avoids it, prefering the pavement.
She has learnt to hold her pee and poo till she gets her walks (until she can no longer control and accidents happen). If you have a place where she can do her toilet without inconveniencing yourself or a helper or family member to walk her so she doesn't have to hold her pee/poo, you will be giving this sweet dog a chance for another life and also earned yourself a devoted and loyal companian.
Maggie is also learning to walk on leash without pulling and now can enter a lift without being too nervous. In a very short space of time she understand what is "wait, don't touch the treat" and "sit". It just provies you can teach an older dog new tricks!!

Update on Happy aka Asher by a fosterer:
Asher is currently partially toilet & paper trained. if there is paper he will do on it otherwise he will make his way to the toilet. At times, he does forget or mischievously he will pee on the floor. Asher still has his playfulness in him, and he enjoys chasing a ball around. He is a very manja dog, likes to stand on his hind legs to grab your attention and ask you to sayang him. He will "kiss" you and he is easy to train. Learns fast. Not a dominating dog, and will learn his boundaries if you teach him.
He has wonderful temperament, gets along with other dogs and exceptionally good with kids and people. He is recovering from an eye infection and has learnt to sit down and let u drip the medicine into his eye. he seem to know this will lessen the pain although he doesn't fancy it. Medication are easily fed as u can mix it into his food and he will eat it all up.. He is very trusting and loving and loves following you around the house, Always ready with a wag in his tail.
Asher WILL NOT do his business outdoors as he gets very nervous when he is out of the house. He is afraid of the cars and loud noise. needs reassurance from his owner. But he walks well on the leash, he will never pull.
In a short time he understands what is "wait, don't touch the treat" and "sit". It just proves you can teach an older dog new tricks!!
