FANFARON, great news, I am so happy

Hello Val and Malcolm.
We are the couple from the Dordogne who went to see Cécile on Friday, and back again yesterday to bring Fanfaron home with us.
He is the most beautiful, gentle dog we've ever known. He has problems with his nervousness but he seems to have accepted us and comes readily if we call. He has a lot to get used to. Yesterday he went into a room where the TV was on, stood stockstill for a second staring at it, and ran out!! We think he probably hasn't seen one before!

We hope we can fulfill his needs. Our only regret is that he can't run around freely - although we have a fence around our garden, it is old, a little rickety, and not very tall. Cécile suggested we put a wire fence around as farmers do for cattle, so we are going out now to look into that. But he will have lots of walks so that may be enough for now.
We would like to send a cheque for 100€ - could you please say who it should be made out to and the address? If there were 2 parties involved, we could send a 50€ cheque to each if you would prefer.
I have emailed Cécile this morning with an update and will continue to keep in touch with her.
Kind regards
Sue and Martin Thornhill

Val says You lovely kind couple Sue and Martin, that dog will repay your kindness I am sure.
The two dog rehoming sites that helped Fanfaron were Poor Paws in the Dordogne and Dog Links at Rodez, so a cheque shared between them would be marvellous.
The cartwheels of pleasure  I did the last time will have to suffice as I am still recovering!
