A huge thanks to everyone indeed. Those people do a most wonderful thing, helping so many dogs in great need. It must be worrying for the foster families and the people who transport dogs between A-B not really knowing where they are going
. The dogs are very stressed but I am sure that they are going to nice places. She is now living in a two-bedroomed bungalow, own garden in the Scottish Borders 
. Bit of a stomach upset this morning but hardly surprising after the stressful day she had yesterday 
. I am sure she s still pretty stressed but she will go to the vet tomorrow, get checked from top to toe and if she has something that can be treated it will be but she certainly needs time to relax and calm 
. She will be having cooked chicken and pasta for breakfast and probably fish and pasta for her next meal. Every time I walk passed her crate she wags her tail as I verbally acknowledge her. Yesterday it was the very end of her tail that she wagged, this morning 3/4 of her tail is circling madly – that is a Whippet thing, isn’t it? Even though she has the runs this morning, she decided that her toilet would be in the bushes at the back of the garden and I could hear all the wrong sort of noises I will have to go and have a look so I can report to the vet tomorrow. She is looking very bright, a little bit of discharge from one eye but I think she will take time to recover from whatever sort of life she had before she was rescued from the pound. I have two weeks off work so I can get her into a routine and as settled as possible before I head back. The plan at the moment is that she and Nellie will come to work with me in the afternoons, she will spend the mornings with my brother (they will be meeting daily so she knows he is a part of her life). He will walk her in the morning, I will get the three dogs out for a quick romp at lunchtime, take the girlies back to work in the afternoon then all dogs back home in the evenings. Lots of walks in the hills and we will, at some point in the next couple of weeks have a trip to the beach (about 40 odd miles away). I will report again tomorrow once we have been to the vet. I am not particularly worried about her but just want her to be happy and healthy . Pasta has cooked so it’s breakfast time 
.We are just back home from our last (first for some) walk round the village. Great debate over her name, father and brother heavily involved. My father wants a short name for her, I declined anything like Dot, Cap, Meg etc, all the usual Collie names
. Couldn’t call her Cassie because of our very own Cassie . I quite liked Sorcha but have been ‘out-voted, sorry foster family but I will retain Sorcha as her middle name. She is a very sweet little dog, had cooked chicken, veg and some mixer biscuits for dinner . Dudley keeps coming through to my room to have a look at her in her crate 
. He just needs time and will calm down but he is a lot more relaxed than he was. He wouldn’t actually fight but he might set the Nells bells off. He will be totally fine in a few days, just takes a bit of time for him to accept that another dog is in the house 
. She is home now and will realise in the next few days/weeks that she is part of the family. She has a lovely rust/gold colour mixed through her black coat on her back. We will be off to the vet on Monday morning to introduce her to everyone and get her registered. I am thrilled to have been given the opportunity to have another DID dog join us, thank you for that 
. I will get photos posted soon and the one I really want is the three dogs sitting together – it will happen, I promise. She is now sleeping 
. Poor dog, she will be tired after a bit of a stressful day. Still think there is a good bit of Whippet as well as Collie within 
Off to make my father’s supper now then to bed for me as well. If anyone is wondering, the three dogs sleep in my room so she will not be alone, in fact she will never be alone again . Hello from sunny Scotland and it really is sunny. Currently resting in a large crate, on a comfy bed and I have my blue moon and stars towel in with me. Had a long, long journey but landed in my very own home at the end of it I have had a walk with the other two dogs and my person will be taking things slowly regarding all three of us (dogs) being loose in the house. I have had a quick tour of my garden, had bits of chicken and roast beef sandwiches, shared with the creature and Nellie. Dudley has gone to another part of the house to rest in our grand-dad’s room. I have met my human uncle (he drove us home as the creature has no sense of direction so we could all have ended up back in Dublin!!! I met my grand-dad briefly, he stroked my head and face and told me I would be alright and he thinks I am a nice dog – which, of course I am Will be in touch again soon and promise to let you all know how I get along. Thank you to everyone who helped me when I needed you most . Well, you appear to have become "THE ONE" – its all very Royal you know Looks like you were enjoying splashing around in the the sea, your own beach I presume 
Very smart indeed, sporting that new haircut. You must feel so much better on every level now that you are in foster care. Enjoy your life now and forget the past as quickly as you can. Well done good sir, you should be very proud of yourself
. You suit that rug you are lying on, fits beautifully . You are right that some humans can be really odd but, to be honest, I think your humans are pretty good Another little beauty, growing up in a great environment. Good people who will keep you on the right track until your own family make themselves known
Very smart girl. As for your "I am having a bath" image, I get the impression that the muddy puddle was more enjoyable Stitches out? Has she been neutered or did she do something silly? She looks like a totally different dog between first and last image. Hope she is enjoying all this sunshine, we are almost cooked Too hot to walk the mutts at lunchtimes so it’s a wander around the garden or they lie just inside the open front door watching out for anything interesting to bark at. Not complaining about the heat but we are not set up for this weather at all . I hope Cassie/Sorcha is coping with it all but I am pretty sure she will be You have a very smart little dog there
. As for following you everywhere, my Patterdale, Nellie does exactly the same thing. I have never really given it any thought until you said Dilly does it . Who knows what sort of background they have come from, as long as they are happy I don’t think it’s a problem. He will probably stop doing it when he finally realises that he is part of the family and no-one is going away. I suspect Nellie’s following me is food related rather than any great devotion towards me What a great video. I thought she looked quite long in one of the earlier images and wondered about a dash of Daxi but I see the Border Terrier in her and no Daxi. She is great, what a little monkey racing around on that trampoline having a ball with the Yorkie. Superb
