This is more great news…..delighted to hear all that super progress
Wonderful news. She’s the embodiment of her name.
Your ‘little nose touch’ story is lovely and touching to hear.

I’ve been following your posts and Hope for a long time because I know from my own experience with a fearful dog what amazing work you have done and in such a short time. You should be very proud of yourself, I know it can be so hard emotionally. Would love to hear how she’s getting on. ![]()
Here’s a little further insight into this lovely girls personality. She has three different states of being, she absolutely loves going out for her walks. She is such a sociable dog, absolutely loves other dogs and is always good natured with them. She is a fast runner and loves nothing more than a good chase. She bounds and smiles and sniffs and is mischievous. When we are out even if something unexpected spooks her she bounces back quickly and soon the tail is up and wagging again. In the house, when we are upstairs, she is playful with Ruby and they will have a good tousle and take turns nipping playfully at each others necks. She puts her front paws up on the bed to say hello to us and enjoys a neck rub or a nose scratch. If I sit on the floor she comes and settles in the circle of my legs and starts playfully pulling on my slippers. She has fallen asleep happily in that position. Downstairs she likes to hide under her blanket – so we are slowly trying to wean her off needing to hide herself away. I know this is hard for her as I believe she associates downstairs with the bad place (mentally and physically) that she was in when she first came to us. She is such lovely girl, she has come such a long way and I have no doubt that in the right home will thrive.
