Annabelle is a gorgeous 1 year old Boxer x. She is a big girl but the friendliest dog you could ever meet. She loves kisses and cuddles, and is just a big baby at heart. Really needs foster ASAP.
If you can help please contact Gwen or Kathy ASAPJanuary 12, 2010 at 9:53 pm #85728jojo20MemberWOW wat a stunner! Looks like she blowing kisses at camera bless. Do we know if she neutered? Any info on her background? She looks like she wants ta sit on ya and lick ya ta death
January 13, 2010 at 11:32 pm #84915jojo20MemberIs annabelle in the pound? I have a box of treats in car and reckon she and all other stunning poundies deserve some treats!
January 17, 2010 at 2:43 pm #92628jojo20MemberThis baby comin home with me tomor I cant wait il have a warm fire waiting on her for cuddles!
January 19, 2010 at 12:29 am #92735jojo20MemberWell Annabelle came home to the seaside today! She is amazing in the car and even fell asleep in the traffic. Needed some bribes to get in but was well behaved. She has no idea how big she is and is a big wuss The tv scares her so bad we have not been able to let her in sitting room so in a few days when confidence improves we will try again. The bath was a quick as she was nervous so we didnt push her. Eats like a horse and is quiet as a mouse until she gets scared and then the bark would wake the dead!
Toilet training is non exsistant and she would put Dumbo to shame with her ‘pressies’ so lets pray she a quick learner! Right now she is snorring like a pig on her new bed with a blanket over her as she is very skinny
Update tomor on how the nite went and if il be sellin bags of manure fresh from floor…January 21, 2010 at 12:37 am #92792jojo20MemberWell my big baby Annabelle is just a dote. She had a lil upset tummy today but hasnt stopped her tail waggin and her coming for cuddles. Her toilet training is gettin better and her confidence is growing every hour. She walking much better on lead and wit stability in training i can see her improving faster than we expected
She is scared of her reflection and when see’s it barks wit tail between legs it so funny
Today she tried the door handle to get out of kitchen clever lil lady! She would benefit from another dog to teach her the ropes of bein a doggie but we love her innocence! She snooring away iv had to turn volume of tv upJanuary 21, 2010 at 12:38 am #92089jojo20MemberJanuary 21, 2010 at 12:20 pm #92850jojo20MemberI am proud as punch today!!! Wit anticipation i opened kitchen door this morn to find NO accidents during nite! I even had to wake her up the sleepy head So as a treat my sister caroline has taken her to the castle for a ramble! We had a small walk bout 10pm last nite and she met a miniture collie male and we had lovely friendly greeting until the mini collie sniffed her side without warning and she got such a fright she hide behine me.
Annabelle is such a beautiful, gentle girl that any house would be lucky to have her.January 25, 2010 at 10:11 am #93063jojo20MemberJust an update on my ‘belle’…She is slowly starying to show her personality and ran in the garden for the first time at weekend,she looked like Forest Gump braking loose of the leg braces:lol: She got so excited she slipped and smashed the plant pot and before i even opened my mouth she had ran back to bed and looked at me as if to say sorry Bless! On her walks she is so good, friendly to every dog no matter size shape or gender! She pulls a little to sniff trees etc but nothing that wont be rectified with practice. She has no aggression to cats she just wants to stand and stare then when they hiss at her she just blows her nose in gest and trots off. She has yet to try the stairs except with back feet firmly on bottom step she streches up about 5 steps like a star but wont go any further! We had workmen in house and she never batted an eyelid at them and they were in and out every few mins, the only thing she has grunted at is her reflection in the glass in the evenings Pics to follow later!
January 28, 2010 at 11:05 am #93216jojo20MemberIm so in love wit Belle… The family who end up with her will be so lucky. She is just a dote. Yesterday she got brave enough to climb the stairs and popped her head round bedroom door looking coy but then not brave enough to go back down them… not easy task carrying 4st dog She has had NO accidents on floor last few days and nites! And last nite walked on a nice long loose lead for me! She really needs a bit of guidance from a confident dog but not one who would bully her cos she a timid thing deep down. Once she spayed i plan on trying doggie day care cos id say she will adore it and is so firendly to everydog she meets. A cocker showed her his teeth on the coast road the other day and he received a big fat paw on the head to either play or go-away She is so calm in the evenings in her bed and has put few lbs on and looks great. She needs a home that has medium activity levels and who will include her in everyday life she hates bein alone Her forever home must have a dog for company and no kids under 12yrs as she has could knock them down! She needs a small ammount of training wit stay/leave etc but she fast learner and just needs routine in her day!
January 28, 2010 at 3:21 pm #93226livMemberI love the photo of Annabelle and her teddy. She seems to be really coming along well in your care. Its great to see her confidence building.
January 28, 2010 at 5:58 pm #93235jojo20MemberAw thanx… she really is such a comic! I have to take a few more pics tonight and il stick some up. All the ones i have is of her snoozing.. she like a nap-girl after my own heart I need some of her alert and playing.
February 3, 2010 at 1:00 pm #93512jojo20MemberJust a quick update… Annabelle is so much fun to have in the house and really who ever homes my baby will be blessed with daily laughter and cuddles from her. Last nite after 3 attempts opened the bathroom door while i was in shower then licked me dry i presume as a pressie roll on shower number 2- with door locked!! While my sister been treating her to long walks in the morn 2 dogs have aggressively gone for her and she just backs off and hasnt even shown her teeth back.. its like she takes it personally and gets upset they dont like her! Our last foster wiggles buried his treats and she discovered a few yesterday to her amusement and the garden has few extra drainage holes thanx Belle! She desperately pines for a doggie friend and even tho my sister been walking her with other doggies she would adore someone to curl up with in bed or play in the garden with She looks so jealous of the dogs running free on the beach and sulks in bed after her walks. She is literally built with a heart of gold and looks at life with such innocence!
February 6, 2010 at 6:20 pm #93647victordudeMemberOh Annabelle, she sounds perfect. Has she found her forever home yet? I’d love to meet her. I Have a little fella here that would love to show her a thing or 2 about the doggie world! He’s looking for a big sister to tumble and play with because his feline friend is beginnnig to tire of his antics!!
February 7, 2010 at 11:20 am #93671jojo20MemberHi if you fill out an adoption form the admin girls will organise a homevisit(maybe by me as i know what she needs best). What i will say about Annabelle is that she a very rough with her play, so small dogs beware its not something that cant be fixed with training, but as she been in heat iv been unable to allow her really play with other dogs off the lead as most of my friends dogs are male so when she does get a wee play she goes ott. She will need some ammount of more lead training as she still nervous at times and stops dead…. 5st tantrums- Belle causes amusement to all other walkers!!
As i said in last few posts she cannot go to a home with kids under 12ish(if they small in stature she’ll flatten them) she just a big lump of love and when she wants to cuddle you dont get a choice! Any questions on her just ask and il be putting up some overdue pic’s later iv loads! -
