A girl shouldn’t have to get out of bed until a girlie wants to 
In fact, take note family, breakfast in bed would be ideal 
Okey dokey
It was in Jazzy Paws in Littlepace (Dublin 15).
It’s quit new and it’s in a small room behind the flower shop (Jazzy Flowers). I’m not sure but I think she’s not there everyday, it seems that she works in different locations some days of the week. But the flower shop is open normally, so if you live in the area, pay them a visit and ask.
Betsy is sending her greetings to all her DID friends.
She´s so happy about the weather and the amount of time she can spend outside now. She also went on her first overnight holidays with us and had a blast! Hiking all day with her was no problem, she´s a ball of energy when there are things to explore!

bridge.jpgBetsy is sending her greetings to all the friends at DID.
She had a great summer full of walks, visits and sunbathing in the garden. I think she´ll have a hard time adjusting to the bad winter weather when it comes.
As for her training, I think she reached her limit. She is now able to pass by many dogs without barking, but some dogs are just "too annoying" to let them simply walk by
You could almost see her weighing her options every time. She knows she will get a treat if she doesn´t bark at a dog. But some dogs are just not worth the treat, some dogs simply must be barked at! I don´t really blame her though. She was attacked by another dog twice this summer – nothing serious, we managed to pull them apart quickly, but that´s like throwing all the training out of the window and start all over again. And the look on her face after that – total guilt-tripping. "See, you told me dogs are OK and now look at me!"
(There´s a fierce fighter behind that cute face though. Seeing her fight, she would probably lead a wolf pack if returned to the wild )Here are some new Betsy pics, hope you´ll like them
Have a nice weekend everyone!

hello.jpgHey Betsy, nice to get your update. You are right, there are times when things just need a bark. Sorry about the couple of scraps forced upon you and when you have to defend yourself, well, you just have to. You are a very pretty little girl
Great progress
Well done for persistance in helping Betsy move on and become a more sociable little person.I am sure she feels more content in herself now and less fraught.The photo of Betsy with other dogs indoors proves that that anything is possible with love, patience, persistence and training. I actually almost cried with happiness when I saw the photo first. When we were fostering Betsy I knew that her difficulties with other dogs were limiting her chances of happiness – because dogs can have such good fun together when they get on. Massive respect to Jana and Marcus – from the start they accepted Betsy for who she was and loved her and worked on helping her to overcome her problems with other dogs. I’m sure it’s still a work in progress – but for anyone who has a dog who they think will never get on with other dogs…think again!
