Thanks everyone! It was so so hard to leave him, but he was very well cared for while I was away. Woody's such a delight - so well behaved and calm - there's barely a naughty streak in him! He isn't scared of anything or anyone, he doesn't bark (except if I'm trying to sweep the floor! He HATES the broom!) I cannot tell you how many times I've accidentally left his bag of dog food open in the kitchen pantry, and he's never once touched it.. (100% freeze dried grass-fed new zealand lamb with no additives - surprisingly cheap if you live in Australia!) He's also totally uninterested in chewing anything except for his toys.. I've never owned a dog so joyful, well-behaved, loving and intelligent! Fingers crossed he stays like this through the cheeky teenager phase!
