5 months before leaving for America, Michael contacted
KAPS to request a last visit. Michael, his son Ian and adopted Bang (formerly
Bang Ool) wanted to say farewell to Bang’s former shelter.
We thought we were going to greet and have a chat with
Bang… He clearly had other ideas… Bang was rather busy running
here and there, spraying his scent.
He lifted his leg and… watered the daisies so many
times we became concerned he was committing the same act at home! Michael
quelled our fears and let us know that he had not once peed inside the house.
It seems returning to the shelter raised some old memories for Bang.
The previous Bang often pushed
and shoved other dogs and created ruckuses. This new Bang did not commit the
same behaviours. Bang played with his old shelter
mates and ran back and forth but occasionally ran back to Ian, checked how Ian
was doing and then returned to playing.
Though some of Bang’s old behavioural habits were featuring,
he maintained a calm and relaxed attitude. No need to ask, we knew he was
living a very happy life with a loving family.
Bang and his family have
now migrated to America and we wish them health and happiness.
