Sky..10mt old Female Staffie…ref 121…this poor soul is so thin you would think she was a Whippet X Staffie…she is so traumatised that this was the best picture we could get….we will get more tomorrow..it would break you heart to hear her cry .
She is now in foster with Irene who will update soon
sky.jpgWe picked up this lovely lady Sky this morning. She is a great traveller and enjoyed looking out at all the passing traffic. She is very under nourished, especially beside my own Staffie Ruby, chalk and cheese! She has eaten very well today and enjoying the comforts of our home.
image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgOh Irene I am so glad you have taken this beautiful girl into foster. She is the sweetest thing and still just a puppy. I am really looking forward to seeing how this girl gets on. I might have to find a reason to call out
What a difference a day makes in the life of a dog. Sky blossoming just like spring, she is now a lot more relaxed in the house, she is getting used to all the different sounds that appliances make and also our footsteps, doorbells a whole new world for her. We were at the vets in Dundrum with Alison today to give her a good check over. Se was so good not a word out of her while she was examined. She has the most beautiful face, all the staff and clients commented on her good looks
she is settling in well and is learning from Ruby about chill out time, check the photos! My grandchildren came over yesterday and she was so pleasant with them, allowing them rub her and talk to her without any problems. We are enjoying the experience of having her and she is such a pleasant guest in our home. image.jpgimage.jpgI was sooooo excited to meet the stunning Sky and her fabulous foster folk in Dundrum vets today and she wasn’t phased in the slightest at Benson being a bousey with his big cone head….Her photos don’t do her justice she is even more beautiful in the flesh…what little flesh she has covering her very visible skeleton….I can’t wait to see her put the pounds on and turn into one of our marvellous model canine citizens.
I’d like to be the first official fan club….will be watching your every update! …..Love the fact that you find Ruby ever so comfortable to sit on…don’t think she will be too happy with that in a couple of weeks when you reach you proper weight!God – dogs are such excellent chaps. Look how accommodating [literally]Ruby is to Sky in the first picture and you can see Sky’s desperate need to be that close. She still has a bit to go that gorgeous girl, the contrast between the state of the two dogs is very affecting but T.G. she’s in a safe space now.
What a difference a weeks makes in the life of a dog! First of all we have not heard a cry from Sky (we call her Blondie) since she arrived here last Tuesday 25 February. Maybe it is three meals a day for the moment to build her up and also the extra care we are giving her but she is our best ever foster dog, saying that they were all brilliant. Sleeps all night, toilet trained, knows a good few commands and major thing – she likes her food! We have lots of callers to the house and she enjoys them all including my grandchildren. Today is the first time I left her for a long period in the kitchen with Ruby. My son checked in on them both, all well throughout the day. She follows Ruby everywhere so I think she would get on better in a household with another dog. She will not go for a walk without her buddy. Yesterday Ruby disappeared on her walk into a garden searching for a football and Sky dropped to the ground, she would not budge without her partner.
I hope you can see she is filling out fast, her backbone is disappearingimage.jpgRibs are disappearing fast too and she is fitting her collar very well
. Poor dog must have been starving for ages Great to see lovely photos of Sky. She has really started filling out which is great to see. She seems so happy now….great work DID and fosterer family.
PS Love the photo of her sitting on the other dog!! I am delighted to say that Sky (Blondie) is filling out fast. She really enjoys her food and you can see she is loosing her bony image. I am so lucky that Ruby is a good role model
I just have to give Ruby a command and Sky follows through as well! She is a lot more relaxed and sleeps a lot, but then Ruby loves her sleep too
She still does not know what a ball is for! Looks like nobody ever played with her. She loves her rubs on the couch in the evening and she is so gentle and affectionate. She also enjoys a shared apple with me every day. Ruby is not interested in apples She definitely suits a home where there is another dog as she loves the company. She has been out walking and enjoys being let off the lead to forage around like her mate. I had forgotten how nice it is to have a mature pup, no chewing of furniture and house trained, how good is that!image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgWhat a heart breaking story this started out as and how wonderful it is to see Sky’s development – she looks so happy and comfortable and lovely. It amazes me how these beautiful animals can go through such horrific times – but with a little love and proper care they still just want to give you all their love. It’s hard to imagine how anyone can be so cruel to animals who basically just wants to give love and happiness. I hope she finds a permanent home very very soon. And in the meantime it looks like she could not be in a better home. Well done!
