Thanks Martina for giving her a great makeover.
All dogs really benefit from a brush, bath and generally feeling better.Take note all you dog lovers and book your dog into Martina’s for a doggie makeover and make them feel special.
December 14, 2010 at 8:21 pm #103420SabbathmcMemberHallie is a sweetheart with lots of love to give. She has become very playful lately signifying that she has come out of her shell She frolics and leaps around when she gets hyper yet in a gentle way, without wrecking the house .
She loves playing with her little christmas teddy
She gives lots of kissies when you hug her and jumps at any opportunity to sleep all cuddled up next to you on the couch.
I can’t praise this girl enough!

December 28, 2010 at 5:19 pm #103504kaydoyleMemberThis little lady went to Galway today (thanks to Trinity) She will share her new home with Baxter and 2 cats It is great to see two D.I.D. doggies going to the same fantastic family Looking forward to loads of updates
December 28, 2010 at 6:17 pm #103408SabbathmcMemberwhat fantastic news
so happy for the sweetheartDecember 28, 2010 at 8:38 pm #103265MaglouMemberHi there, Hallie’s new mammy here.
She is doing fine and getting used to her new surroundings. Baxter was trying his hardest to make her play but she wasn’t having any of it.
She ignored the cat (the other one doesn’t like to socialise with dogs!) who seems to have taken a shine to her and can hardly hold herself back from rubbing up against her. I don’t think it will be long………!
She loves Bax’s bed and I think I already know who’ll be sleeping in it tonight! He is so good with her and so very accepting. She’s put him in his place a couple of times which he accepts with good grace.
She is a really waggy little girl and loves people and has been quite lively tonight.
Sabbathmc you have done a great job with her so far, I know she has come a long way in a really short time.
She still looks so fragile though, as if a puff of wind would blow her over. I am so looking forward to continuing with bringing her back to full health and strength. There is a great little character in there just bursting to come out!
I will post pics very soon. Watch this space!!!December 29, 2010 at 9:49 pm #82651MaglouMemberHallie spent her first night in Baxter’s bed and slept peacefully all night.
Baxy was relegated to the doggy armchair (one of his favourite spots, so no hardship there!) in the dining room.
It’s funny how they sort themselves out without human interference isn’t it?
She didn’t fancy any dog food but didn’t mind a bit of turkey.
I’m sure she was wondering what was happening especially as she travelled halfway with Aggie and the other half with us and ended up in a completely different place.
Hallie and Baxter have completely gelled. He has such an amazingly generous spirit and is being very kind to her.
They are such an unlikely looking pair, it’s so funny to see them together.
They potter out in the garden and Bax would still love a game but realizes he’s not going to get very far with Hallie, at least not at the moment.
She loves the garden and sniffs her way all the way round the edges.
On her walk today as yesterday she just followed on the lead to heel but no sniffing or interest in anything. It’s as though walking, at the moment at least, is not what she would choose for pleasure. Perhaps she did an awful lot of it in her former life if she was out on her own.
She has been quite perky today and wags her tail all the time and loves to be petted, then goes off again for a lie down in Bax’s bed.
She ate a really good dinner tonight and is mingling with Bax and the cat in a very relaxed way.
We are just letting her do her own thing and get used to everything in her own time. She’s a real little sweetheart.
Here are the two little darlings checking out the dinner situation. (Not theirs either!)Have you got anything NICE in there????
Hey Bax, this position is called ‘Downward Dog’. Don’t you know ANY yoga?

December 29, 2010 at 11:25 pm #81616LuvMyFurKidsMemberWell Bax all your christmas’ have come at once now that you have a little sister to boss you around…..Delighted for you all and will be looking forward to hear how you train her in your stick up rooting game.
December 31, 2010 at 4:21 pm #103632MaglouMemberWhat happened to the timid little girl I was so concerned about yesterday?
She woke up with a little devil on her shoulder, that’s what!
First she tucked into a hearty breakfast (she wouldnt touch anything yesterday morning), then she showed signs of liveliness when I tried to play with her and she raced out of the room into the lounge. Ever Ready Bax immediately twigged that this was a game and started trying to get her going. She growled at him twice and ran out the door into the garden and well, you can see the result! They went harum scarum round and round the garden. It was hilarious.Bax is a blurry dripping mess as he exits the frog pond.
Then our neighbour turned up with Max and and the three of them got on like a house on fire.
She is a totally different dog today. It’s wonderful to see her personality starting to shine already. It’s more than we could have hoped for. Hallie and Bax get on so well together and are really relaxed around one another.
Imagine what they will be like six months or so down the road.

January 2, 2011 at 12:12 am #103642MaglouMemberHey Aggie, colourful is the word!
She is changing all the time and is starting to play. She’s really funny.
She tosses the remains of Bax’s Christmas racoon around and shakes it.
She keeps hiding his chew bones as well!
She has a little stash that she brings out from time to time and starts having a chew on. Nobody knows where she hides them.
She tiptoed past him with his new hide bone and the look on his face was hilarious He couldn’t believe his eyes. She had hidden it under the cushions on the sofa.
Her appetite has returned and I’m hoping she will start to put on a little weight now.January 2, 2011 at 12:47 am #103646TrinityMember
I bet his look was bewildered The cheeky little thing. It seems like she needed to be with energetic dog to really come out of her shell and no better dog than Bax to help with itJanuary 4, 2011 at 8:09 pm #99879SabbathmcMemberIt put a huge smile on my face after reading your posts margaret!
Her and bax are both beautiful doggies They look like a cute dog couple
Thanks so much for giving her an AMAZING home! shes spoilt with all that gardan space, a new dog companian and even a new cat friend which is really surprising she didn’t get along at all with my cats here!
Hallie has a very bright and happy life ahead of her. Shes a very lucky girl
