Tao was handed into Four Paws care due to no fault of his own. He is a sweet boy who needs a major fur cut!
He and his foster brother, Dodger seem to get on really well.

He is a bit hot in the weather and is taking every opportunity to frog across the floor! – so cute, but he must be quite uncomfortable!

Tao hasn’t been too happy about jasper trying to dominate him, and will grumble. This should settle down in a few days.
Tao loves a cuddle! When lying on the floor he will roll onto his back just so you can give him lovely tummy tickles! He is super cute! When being tickled Tao also makes the most adorable lovey noises!
Mumma? Whatever you is cooking. I want it.

Update 09/06/14
Good morning! Tao here, I thought I would tell you about all the fun I have been having!
(http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z400/Kempy12/Kempy12038/TAO2_zpsba3576f2.jpg) (http://s1187.photobucket.com/user/Kempy12/media/Kempy12038/TAO2_zpsba3576f2.jpg.html)
Last night we went for a walk around the park. I really enjoyed myself. I travelled to the park on Ellie’s lap in the front of the car. When we got out of the car, I trotted around with all the other dogs on the extendable lead and sniffed everything. I met lots of dogs, and sniffed them and said hello really nicely. When I was too busy sniffing a few dogs went past without me realising! I turned around and bounded towards them to say hello though. I like meeting new friends :) On the way back I sat in the back with Nia, Lexie and Jasper again I sat like a good boy and when we arrived home we went in through the back door. Dodger and I wanted more walks so we went straight to the front door again
I have had an amazing first night here!
I didn’t really want to go to bed, I was enjoying all the cuddles coming my way… Lexie, Jasper and Dodger all got into bed but I preferred to sleep outside the peoples doors. Lowri came out about half an hour after the door closed… naughty dodger was making noises downstairs. I followed Lowri so I could watch! What I saw was brilliant! Dodger had his head in a food packet! – cor! I wish my head wasn’t so big!
I went back upstairs and settled outside mummas door. I stayed there most of the night. I got a bit scared during the night, some noises where a little odd so I did a little bit of barking. My bark isn’t too loud though so I didn’t wake everyone up.

When I woke up Lexie and Jasper where outside mummas door! It then opened and I greeted the mumma! I was so much fun!
There were only 2 accidents in the night the people don’t know if me or dodger did them… we won’t be telling though!
I wasn’t keen on going out the garden this morning for a wee but when Jasper ran outside at top speed barking I followed! I didn’t bark though! I was just excited about the running!
When the mumma and Elinor went to work, we stayed downstairs. Nia woke up next and I gave her an amazing welcome! She told me to calm down though because I was jumping up quite a bit. She gave me lots of lovely cuddles!
About half an hour later Lowri woke up, I saw her and was so excited! I immediately fell to the floor and showed her my tummy so she could give it a tickle!

Well, I am going to explore this place some more and get some more cuddles (I love them)
I will be back soon -- or the people will write for me!

Today, Tao and Nia went out for a walk with her friend Zoe and rescue Staffie Rosie. We ended up going out for an hour and a half and Tao loved it! He was bounding through the grass like a little rabbit! He is fabulous with other dogs and with Rosie, he had a lovely time with Rosie and licked noses a couple of times! He loved the various paths that we went on, and enjoyed sloshing through the puddles, he did end up having brown socks for a good while!
Walking up the road after a long long walk!

Well today was a big day for Tao!
It was haircut day!!!
He was so good with Auntie Chelle. She said he was so good! He was well-behaved when being groomed… He tried his best to get on with Chelle’s dog Izzy, but she wasn’t having any of it! Haha
Anyway…. The moment you have all been waiting for!...
Drum roll please…..
Duh nah!!!
What a handsome boy!!

Tao is feeling much better and is currently sunning himself in the garden!
We think he looks absolutely beautiful! Thank you Chelle!

;D Too right Julia, he looks gorjuss, I love his pompom tail, thank you Chelle for a fab makeover.xxxx
-
Wow, what a handsome lad, I think you can get your head in that food bag now Tao :winktongue: xx

I had the great pleasure of meeting Tao today and what a lovable little chap he is. He was an absolute joy to groom extremley well behaved. He gave the most scrummy kisses and cwtches. He tried his best to make friends with Izzy but as usual the diva was having none of it haha. Who ever is lucky enough to give this special boy a forever sofa is going to be very very lucky he is an absolute gem.xxxxx

He looks fabbydoo 8) and Jasper seems to think so too :luv:
-
He looks so much better, I'm sure he feels more comfortable getting rid of all that fur angel.gif

What a difference handsome boy

Tao here, last night was amazing I found out that I don't need to lie out like a frog on a cold floor to keep cool, I felt lovely and cool all night and I could curl up into a little ball when I was sleeping!! I've been eying up the comfy dog beds since I got here but they looked like they would make me hotter and I only felt comfy when I stretched out. Last night I tried out a bed it was really comfy so I curled up and I fell asleep, I slept there all night until Julia woke me up this morning. Julia was very forgetful this morning she forgot to give us our breakfast before she went to work, I told Lowri but she didn't listen and she went to work!! So the I told Nia, but she ignored me. Just when I was giving up hope Julia came home, I told her she had forgotten my breakfast but she put a lead on me and then let me sit in the front seat of the car, good I thought a walkie that makes up a bit for no breakfast, but we went to somewhere called a vet. I wasn't happy and I gave a little growl of annoyance at Laura when she said hello. Julia left me there but when I woke up Eli and Dean had arrived to pick me up, I was very excited to see them! My bum wiggled like crazy, despite my sleepy head! I
got home starving and there was still no breakfast for me!! Eventually I had a bowl of chicken and rice, but I then insisted on a bowl of my normal food and mixer and then I ate some really yummy sweet potato, but tired again now, think I'll go for a lovely sleep in my comfy basket, hope Julia doesn't put that funny lampshade on me like Dodgers got :(!

He looks lush with his new haircut 8)

what a handsome boy you r. :laugh:

Tao is doing so well. He's now been with us for two weeks and is firmly part of the gang! He's a little man who loves his cuddles and home comforts, he expects his food on the floor 30 mins after I get up and straight after his walk in the evening!! He's eating a mixture of wet and dry, but the furious eating as if he's never getting another meal has stopped, in fact this morning I put his food out and he allowed Gizzy to eat some of it before he sauntered over!
The highlight of his day is walkies time. Tao loves being out and about. On a lead just walking down the road he walks well and doesn't pull, he's happy sniffing and just enjoyng the stroll. On his main walk of the day we either go to fields or the park and he's now allowed off lead, he gambols about like a little lamb so full of energy and delight, it's a pleasure to see him hopping through long grass. He loves to chase around with Lexie and Jasper. He greets most dogs well, he's a little unsure with larger dogs, and does hold back until he's sure they are freindly.
Tao really loves being with people he really loves a cuddle and whilst I'm writing this he is sitting at my feet looking up as if to say " Watcha doing Tao needs a cuddle now!!" . After Tao had his major haircut he started sleeping at night in the basket outside my room, but since I put the dog matress in the kitchen at night he's been taking himself downstairs and sleeping on that and he does seem to have taken it over in the day time when I'm cooking as well, much to Jaspers annoyance as that we his matress!!
Someone is going to be so lucky to have this little man in their lives, he's got so much charecter, one minuite a grumpy little man the next so loving and eager to please.
Here are some pictures:
