Bonnie – Lab x Collie – HOMED

[shemick]

When we picked up Bonnie from the pound she was very nervous but looked very healthy otherwise. She endured the trip in the car very well, but was nervous still and needed to have personal contact pretty much the whole trip. But she didn’t get sick and settled down a few times. When we got her home she pretty much stuck beside us the whole time, seeking reassurance and closeness. She gobbled her food down in record time.

We let her out practically every half hour or so and while she enjoyed being out didn’t do her business at all. She was left in the bathroom with a new bed and was very quiet the whole night. However, she slept on a rug instead of the bed. Its taken us 3 nights to get her to start using her bed but she seemed to like it now. She hasn’t messed the bathroom floor at all. However, that second day she did leave us a big surprise in our bedroom and that was after taking she out many times during the day. We have gotten her to pee outside but she seems a little reluctant to do anything else outside. Obviously, we’re working on that. She is very good in the house otherwise and its only been the two times that she has left us to clean up. She doesn’t chew on anything or destroy anything at all. But she is very clingy and needs to know where we both are all the time. I’m sure this will change when she knows we aren’t going to leave her and we’re there to give her lots of hugs and pets. Bonnie will benefit from training because she is extremely bright and seeks approval all the time. She’ll sit most times you tell her, she lays down if you say down, stay–she’ll sit and creep up to you. She never begs from the table when you are eating but lies on the floor nearby. We do not allow her in the kitchen so she’ll sit in the dining room.

She just doesn’t want to be left on her own. Once she is settled into her home, this shouldn’t be a problem I would think.

That is indeed great news. Beautiful dog, very gentle looking eyes. Once she knows that she is part of the pack she will blossom into the great dog I have no doubt she is

Great news for Bonnie.
It’s so good to think that while she was unfortunate enough to find herself in a Pound complete with a sell by date that it will all be a distant memory never to be repeated.
She now has the chance to be loved and looked after………all she ever wanted I am sure
Best of Luck to all.

She still hates having her photo taken but I got just a sly one
