This shall be one other brutally sincere write up that can most likely make you chuckle. Russel was within the Botosani public shelter up till round a 12 months in the past when he got here to us within the UK.
A number of months on and we are able to groom, stroke and do all the required issues for his every day care however he doesn’t like all of it….. and we suspect he doesn’t like us a lot both…. however which may simply be his face!
For those who scroll by means of the images on this album you’ll immediately see the disdain he holds for us, for walks, for the whole lot that doesn’t enable Russell to do precisely what Russel desires to do!
We discover him amusing however within the rehoming prospects….. nicely folks aren’t going to be beating down our door now are they?
It’s troublesome to find out if he sometimes considers liking us as a result of he does appear to care that we’re right here, but when he’s following us round and we discover and take a look at him he’ll get embarrassed, mutter one thing (most likely unrepeatable) underneath his breath and switch spherical and stomp off.
Will he all the time be this a lot of a grumpy outdated goat? Your guess is pretty much as good as mine. We make him go for brief walks as a result of they’re good for him, however we get doggy evils all the way in which spherical. He likes his meals, he likes regular, nicely behaved, different canine and being left to his personal gadgets. So….. kind an orderly queue.
Russel will want no less than one different canine to faux to disregard in his endlessly dwelling.
