My husband wrote this the other day and i thought it’s post-worthy.
Susie is the complete pet. She can be wary of you at first but once you earn her trust (and she doesn’t give it easily), she is utterly loyal. She has the most gentle nature of any being I’ve ever encountered. She’s inquisitive and smart and zero maintenance. Just give her lots of walks and when she’s at home she’ll sit in her bed or some other favoured spot and entertain herself.
She has the run of our house, access all areas, even when we’re not there and has NEVER chewed anything she’s not supposed to, jumped on anything, slept, pooped or peed where she shouldn’t. In fact we can’t fault her. She pulls a little on the lead when walking but a little tug backwards and she slows to your pace. When you feed her, she looks at you as if to ask "Is it ok If I tuck into this now?".
It’s difficult not to talk about her as though she’s a person. She has tonnes of personality and it’s even more difficult not to spoil her. She’s extremely female and even daintily crosses her front paws when she lies down. We’ve never heard her bark or growl, in fact the only noise she makes is when she yawns. She goes to bed when we do and doesn’t stir until we get up and greets us every morning with a wagging tail and what can only be described as a smile. She is wonderful.
She has more manners and grace than most humans and we’d dearly love for her to have a nice home with a family who will look after her in the way she deserves. Ideally with a big yard for her to run and explore and possibly another dog for company. The pay back will be immense. She’s not just a pet, she’s a friend and you will not find a more lovable being than Susie.
She seems like a fabulous girl. I love the eyes. I used to see that in huskies. She looks like she enjoys the snow so if the forecast for this weekend is right then she will have some more fun.
Fantastic update from the husband, it’s really from the heart and appreciated.
Thanks for that, it really helps for her sake for finding her the right loving and deserving home.Zora/Susie found her forever family today ….Im told it was a smitten afair altogether.
She will be in her new home for the 1st day of the new year.So happy for her and the O’Halloran Family.
And well done to Emily who can now return home for christmas knowing her lovely lady is getting a fab home to call her own.
More snow means the happiest dog! You can just see the smile spread over her face as she runs through the snow. We went on a long walk last night and she just couldn’t get enough.
And more importantly, last Sunday, Susie’s future family came for a visit and i think everyone fell in love straight away. Susie used to be very wary of new people, and she has started to get much better with meeting strangers in the park, however when this family came, she was so relaxed and affectionate. . . i think she could sense that this family would be great for her. It makes fostering so rewarding (and bearable!) to know that this incredible dog will go to a forever home where they will love her and be so good to her. I’m just so happy.
Another foster parent will take Susie tomorrow as we’re heading back to the US for Christmas. breaks my heart knowing we won’t come back to her, but it makes it all worth it that in a short week, she’ll be in her forever home. She has brought so much to us as a couple, and to us individually. Quite a being, this Susie. I’ll post a few photos – haven’t been taking as many because I think she’s finally on to me and the camera!
DSCN1915.JPGDSCN1929.JPGDSCN1938.JPGToday, Susie went home with her forever family. Phillip, Stephanie, and little Rebecca came to pick her up, and it was immediately clear that Susie remembered them.
I’m so glad this gentle girl has a family of her very own, now. I will post pictures of Susie’s short time with us later today.
Happy New Year to Susie and her family.
What a great way to start the new year ,Great News ,Have a Happy Life Zora. Thanks to her foster mum, Happy New Year to you and yours
Brought Susie home to-day. Had a nice long walk on the way & she is now asleep in front of the fire. Thanks to all who looked after her.
Susie is settling in to her new home. She is so well behaved and really loves her long walks and runs. We have been teaching her to return off the lead and she is really a very intelligent dog
Christmas 2010 080.JPGIt is so wonderful to see how Susie is settling in! We were thinking of her so much over the holidays and am so glad she was able to stay with a great foster family over Christmas, and that she is now settled into her forever home. Thanks for posting photos and updates – it brings a huge smile to my face. Please pass on some kisses and hugs from us – she’s quite a hugger!
Well it has been almost a year now and Susie has well and truely settled into her new home. She is an incredible dog and has made the house her own. She is now able to be let of the lead in the forest and will return ‘eventually’ when called, though I think it is more her decision then ours. She enjoys her walks/runs every day though is not one for the rain!!!
She has turned out to be the ideal family pet and is the first port of call for all who visit the house or indeed any house she visits.
Susie and her family would like to wish you all a very happy christmas. And a special thought for Emily and Family.Philip, Stpeh, Rebecca and Susie
