Thank you for the little look into your life in fostercare Wanda. What a dinky little girl you are – following, following Well young man, a very smart (and I mean that on every level) PATTERDALE
Your surgery will happen without you knowing anything about it and you will be back with your foster family in the blink of an eye I invite you to join the rest of my ever growing ‘secret’ list, e.g. everyone else is also on it Pretty little Wanda, how are you settling into foster world? Do you enjoy the company of other dogs? Would love to know how you are doing
The creature almost trained?? No Mutley, no
. It’s tricky training creatures, honestly, she is so easily distracted by everything, TV, looking out of the window, driving the kennel, sleeping . I have to grab every opportunity. I do speak to her a LOT and she is starting to learn dog but it is a work in progress Onwards and upwards as we dogs say It makes me so very sad to see the scared little souls like this little dog that have found themselves in the very frightening situation of being in a pound. I know she will relax in the next few days but I so wish she could understand right now that she is safe, can relax and enjoy the place she now finds herself in. FollowingAh, I see you have settled into your foster home
What a sweet little face you have, love your little pointy ears We had a little bit of sleety snow a couple of days ago and I was told Jet was playing in it on the village green. Racing around, jumping and generally being silly
. I asked my brother (he looks after her when I am at work) about it and he confirmed that she did indeed have a great time. When I went to collect her tonight I was informed that she and brother headed off to the green as usual, Jet did what Jet had to do and while my brother was picking up, madam trotted back to his house as the weather was very wet and windy. He was following her (at speed) but she went straight to her day house and waited at the door for brother to catch up and let her in . Clearly snow is ok but wet and windy does not suit She has changed such a lot, will do anything for food e.g. helps herself at any and all opportunities, barks a lot (only at me and brother, not outside or even when the terriers explode into a barking frenzy at everything ), very clever but calm for a Collie (? cross). Now stalks passed sheep and NEVER takes her eyes off them so I am now not sure that she is frightened of them Loves the car, never climbs onto my bed even though the terriers are on the bed all the time, Jet sticks to her own bed. Chewed up a few toys but will still not play with any toy/human interaction but has a great time playing with toys by herself. Can brush and comb her now and her coat is improving again, at least she has an undercoat now but it has taken over a year to grow in. Still gets the occasional thin area of coat but grows in again after a few weeks If she and brother meet the local dog walker with her clients’ dogs on the green Jet plays with all of them, often 6 or 7 of them racing around, back and forth and Jet occasionally gets them into a circle and runs around barking trying to keep them together. I am sure that is instinct but I do wonder if she was a farm dog working sheep/cattle. She has learned many tricks now but like Nellie, decides what SHE THINKS I want and that is what I get To see that big waggy tail waving around and a happy dog at the other end of it is just superb. What a difference. Slowly, slowly she will get there but really it has not taken you that long to get her to where she currently is She will get there, you must be over the moon with her progress Now then Polo, how are you getting along with your "new and very much wanted" life. Hope you are keeping your family on their toes I suspect Santa will be delivering some great gifts for you I hope you and your family have the best time
