Aw thanx everyone im so happy you aprove She is just such an amazing girl i couldnt part with her. You know when your rushing home from work just to see her that its for life. Im gona bath her and have her sparkling before i put up the official ‘Family photo’.
She is a real ambassador for a poundie success story!And we’re proud to say we are another of DID’s failed foster’rs!June 16, 2010 at 1:24 pm #95124clairefMemberAmazing news!! Made my day!! Followed her posts and she had me smiling all the time! Like I said before you really appreciate her and all her little ways! Honestly believe that they truly adopt us and the right doggie will seek you out worm their way into your heart until one day you realise that you couldnt be without them. . as people we tend to be a bit slower catching on to this than they do!! Just great knowing she will be loved and cherished for the fab girly that she is!
Annabelle has her very own forever forever family!! Hurrah!!!
Cant wait for the family photo!

from shirley and haileyJune 16, 2010 at 10:12 pm #96419jojo20MemberWell jojo picked me up from daycare and i was so tired i couldnt keep my eyes open on the way home… then she caught me off guard and ran me a bath while i snoozed and called me upstairs. Usually i try run but i was 2 tired and just went with it. So she scrubbed me ranting something about a pic for DID. Mam bought me new collar with a pretty disc with my name and some numbers.
After we had fun drying she promised me a special bone (safe for us doggies)if i sit still for the pic.
I hope everyone likes my snaps you should get smell-o-vision … i smell yummi. I love living with jojo and her mam and sis and hope all dogs get a forever home like me thanx DID.

Make sure she is at the DID Fun Day in September as she will be a real candidate for female dog of the year prize.June 21, 2010 at 5:40 pm #98375jojo20MemberOh defo will have her there i love showing her off!! She is just so amazing that anyone who meets her falls in love with her. Cant wait for you all to see how much she has come along from the skinny nervous wreck in the pound. I wish every story ended like hers
See you in sept and annabelle will have plenty of sloppy kisses for everyone!September 6, 2010 at 10:22 am #100822jojo20MemberWell just a quick update on my beautiful Annabelle. She has settled in great with us… she goes to daycare a couple times a week and just loves the play, staff and doggies in DTI. It has really helped with her confidence and training.
We still have our fantastic mischievious moments such as the coincidence when the floors have been just mopped and Annabelle runs in black paws and face from digging in the garden and skids like Bambi on ice towards my mam and plants her paws on her for a kiss with a big smile as if to say ‘look what i did outside’… needless to say my poor mam is less than impressed but cant help but giggle as Annabelle sits, tilts her head and lets out a big sighhh of satifaction!
She has moved herself into my old double bedroom and sleeps there at night despite having a very fancy big bed in sitting room AND an equally comfy bed in kitchen. She trots off to bed and waits until you turn the light off and close the door for her…. but sometimes by 6am she bangs to say ‘let me out’, when ya open the door she darts into my mam or sisters bed into their warm spot and cuddles up for last hr before alarm goes off.
Her training is coming along nicely and we have sits, downs, paw, stay, take it, leave it, touch, into bed and my favorite iv thought her KISS on command
Anyway i will update with pics after the DID day on Sunday, we look forward to meeting you and your furbabies there.September 14, 2010 at 1:21 pm #101163clairefMemberWell I finally met the stunning Annabelle in person and I must say she is even prettier in the flesh (if thats possible)!! Was delighted to meet her and see how wel she is doing! Such a fab girly and her happiness is written all over her face!
November 25, 2010 at 1:55 pm #102902jojo20MemberWell everyone I have been meaning to pop back and drop an update. Photos will follow soon I promise, I will have an end of year collection to post up!
Annabelle has come so far in the 6 months we have had her back.
During my dog training exams I used Miss Belle for the practical and when we got our results back from Fetac Uk we had proudly received 100% and I finished with a distinction in Training and Obedience.However Annabelle being Annabelle she still is a street angel house devil…lol as most teenage doggie are.
She likes to sneek up behind my sister and frighten her jumping out of no-where, to instigate a game of chase in the house/garden..lol. She recently poked her head into the bathroom room and ran off with the towel much to my sisters dismay when she went to get out of shower…
She is just hysterical… the neighbours adopted a(working) Collie and he likes to call in of his own accord to play with Annabelle. Except being a failed working Collie he still attempts to herd belle in the garden and she does’nt know what to do!?!! So she usually offers him a toy for tug.. or just does ‘Zoomies’ to annoy poor Bobby…lol!We still have plenty of behaviours we need to work on but we adore her so much and will always do right by her. She has never destroyed or soiled the house since being back and is so gentle with young kids we’ve discovered. Except teenagers are her biggest worry in life and the groups of them on these dark nights can spark a ‘spooky’ moment or two.
She keeps us all fit as needs at least 2.5-3.5 hrs exercise a day so we split it between us all and spread it through the day. On days we are limited Annabelle attends daycare and she adores it and the fab staff who care for her.
Anyway I hope everyone is as lucky as we are with our Rescued Madame and I promise to have an array of pics before the year ends.
Take care every one from me and annabelle!November 25, 2010 at 9:37 pm #102920taraMemberI love her updates, keep them coming!!
She reminds me of my baby Mya who was Robyn,same nut job who you can’t help but love -
