This little girl needs a lift from Tallaght to Naas in order to get her safely into fostercare. Please, if you can help, contact Kathy on 086 3696413

Milly arrived yesterday and to start with was very jumpy and nervous of our other two dogs. If either of them even moved she’d just go flat on her belly and not move. As the day went on though, she started to relax a bit more and everyone had a bit of a sniff of everybody else. She’s grand in the same room as them but doesn’t like it when they stare at her and she starts to get a bit stressed. She may be ok in a home with another very quiet dog but I think she’d be much happier being an only dog and getting lots of attention. She doesn’t like to be on her own either, if you leave a room she’ll follow you or else she’ll just start crying and get very stressed, so a home where there’ll be somebody there all day would be best.

She’s eating fine now and her playful side is starting to show. She seems to like chew toys and she’ll push them around with her paw. She’s a dream to walk on the lead, I wish our own two were as good. She’s very affectionate and likes a lot of pets and cuddles. She’s house trained but tends not to look to go out, so we need to make sure we bring her out every couple of hours and make sure she does her business. There was just one accident in the house but that was our fault for not escorting her out in the dark, she wasn’t familiar with the garden. I gave her a haircut today and again, she was a dream to groom. There was no moving around or trying to get away and she was so gentle. After I’d trimmed one paw she lifted the other one up for me to trim as well.
We’ll post pictures of the new look Milly tomorrow and you can see how pretty she is. This dog is just adorable, gentle, affectionate, well behaved, just everything you could want in a dog. Really all she wants is somebody to cuddle up to on the couch and pet her.

Here’s a few pictures of Milly before her haircut. These were taken shortly after she arrived with us.

She is a little cutie alright. Promise to have the photos up this evening. She’s on an armchair asleep now after her walk in punchestown. However, that’s not the only reason she’s tired!! Forget what I said in the previous post about her being nervous of our two dogs, oh my God she’s a lunatic for play, especially with Pippin our westie. The two of them were having a ball earlier playing chasing around the house and last night Boomer had joined in the fun aswell. She’s very energetic and loves a game, be it with us or the dogs. She’s a real little charachter, full of fun and gives you a very enthusiastic greeting even if she’s only seen you a few minutes ago. She has been trying to assert her status with Pippin (if you know what I mean) or else she just really fancies him, either way it’s all harmless and doesn’t get out of hand.

Ahhh…well done Fiona…she looks fantastic

thanks girls, the easiest groom i’ve ever done

Well the little scallywag is doing great. She’s settled down now and is not really challenging for status anymore, she’s more certain of her position now. She’s getting on great with Boomer and Pippin even though I think they’re a bit jealous of her getting any attention, still though, they all play together and have great fun. She’s very good on the lead and very good in the car. She’s house trained and apart from the first day she was here she hasn’t had any accidents in the house. Milly is so easy to look after, all she wants to do is play or cuddle, she’d be a great companion for anyone. We’ll keep you updated on her progress.
