    From Pips foster family :D

    Pip arrived with us on Monday last. She was friendly and gentle but very nervous and apprehensive of her new surroundings. She was very well behaved from the start, and apart from a couple of little nervous accidents, was fully house trained. She made friends immediately with Coco our DID JRT. As the week progressed she blossomed and became more confident.

    She loves her walks (still on the lead), but was terrified of the car and would not come near it. With patience, encouragement from Coco and a little bribing from us, she gradually lost her fear, and now hops into the car without hesitation. She loves playing with a ball and is great at retrieving it – when Coco doesn’t steal it first. Pip is very affectionate and loves nothing more than to sit quietly beside you in the evening.

    Today Pip was with us a week so we felt that she knew us well enough to let her off the lead on the walk in a safe open area. Pip thoroughly enjoyed the freedom to run and chase with Coco, but never let us out of her sight – her recall was perfect ! She loved meeting other dogs.

    Great update! Pip is obviously a very smart girl and a quick learner. :)

    Pip has had her op and took it all in her stride. Over Christmas we had visiting kids – all under six – and Pip got on very well with them and they loved her. On the lead she is a bit exuberant at first and pulls a lot, but she is learning fast and improving all the time. She loves meeting other dogs and being free to run around with them and her foster sister Coco, but always comes back to us when called. Pip has a lovely gentle, affectionate nature, and seems to want to please all the time. She will make some family a wonderful companion.

    Pip continues to thrive and learn. We decided to try a harness for walking on the lead, and she will now walk quietly at heel, even at the start of a walk when she is very excited. She likes a lot of exercise, and loves her walks on Killiney Hill where she can run and play and meet other dogs, with whom she is very well behaved. While she gets on very well with our Coco, we think she would be happy in a home with either another dog or none – she loves people. She is proving to be a good watchdog, though is no way aggressive, just letting you know someone is there.
