Michael called today to share his first two days with Rosie. He is delighted and all his family are very happy with this new addition.
Rosie got a new bed on Monday, however, after a night in a living room she was found sleeping on a sofa. This is partially my fault, as i couldn’t say no to her and she sleep on a sofa in our house. However, Michael decided, she might not liked her bed, returned the old one and got a new one, very soft, with the pillow inside. And Rosie loves those kind of soft things and she sleep all night in it.
Also she spends all her time next to the fireplace with the new owner.
They also went on a beach, and Rosie was very happy, running around, socializing with other dogs. I am delegated for her, as this gentle soul deserves all the best.
Will post more updates, as Michael promised to call often. We are very happy that they found each other and i am sure, they will be very happy together.Rosie has found her forever home is has left today with the lovely couple Michael and Veronica and will be staying in Skerries.
She will be very missed, as she is lovely and gentle dog who won our hearts. Michael has promised to call me in a week to update and let me know, how she is doing. We also agreed, that i will go to visit them, but will allow Rosie to settle in first to make sure we do not confuse her. All her toys are gone with her, to make sure she has something familiar with her.Well, Rosie has decided today, that she is tired of being a Labrador and being a cat will suit her more
. We got her Royal Canine for the Labradors, and she completely refused to eat it. Even mixing it with her favorite canned food did not help. She just doesn’t like it. Well, pieces of that dry food is a lot bigger than the one she had before. And she decided, that she really like our cats new food, so had to save my cats from dying from starvation and feed them separately.
We also learned one command and she now know how to give the paw She happily does this with me, but still has doubts when we are trying to show that to someone. So we will be practicing more. Also, we’re trying to learn to sit, but she makes it complicated, as whenever I call her she runs and sits on her own next to me without even me starting the command
She is very smart girl. Also, today was the first day when she started recognizing toys. She took the squeaky bone and was carrying it around the house. It is not playing, but it is a huge progress, because she used to ignore it completely.Thanks Natasha. Rosie is till a bit like a pup herself.
I was away for couple of days, so my husband was looking after her. She is still a bit of unsure of the male company, she definitely likes women more, but her confidence was growing every day.
She is very relaxed girl, who enjoys spending her days on a couch. She would suit a calmer house, she likes kinds, but it older kids would suit more, as she get tired with younger ones very quickly.Thank you so much to everyone.
I saw DSPCA van pooling in on Friday at about 11am. Was not able to talk to them, as i was at home alone. However, went to check the neighbors garden that evening, and guess what, there is beautiful wooden dog kennel in the corner, with what looked like blanket inside.
i am delighted, as there was none on thursday evening, and it was freezing cold.
So Max (Husky’s name) now has its own houseIn a couple of month will check him again, as with his size, they will for sure need a better fence, as now he can’t jump over, but Husky not a small dog at all and in a few months, who knows.
Rosie had a wonderful day at the park. She likes socializing with other dogs. Was running with them, following them around, exploring surroundings. She especially likes yorkshire terriers and they love her. It is amazing, how she allows them to crawl all over her, kiss her. They are just her favorite, and they are not afraid of her.
Her recall was good, but sometimes when she is so interested in something she turns on her selective hearing and tries to ignore me. That works with me, but it doesn’t work with my husband, who definitely doesn’t’ allow her not to respect him and she knows it.
We also had friends in a house yesterday. It was a first time Rosie saw new people after the pound. At first she was shy and was trying to stay closer to me or hide under the table, but slowly they won her heart and she was all around them. Even managed to get some chicken from my friend Senead.
Also, she now begins to notice that there are actually two cats around the house. She tries to play with them without realizing she is 10 times bigger and therefore they are a bit scared of her, but she never chases them, only tries to interact when they approach her. She slips in a couch in my husbands study and one of cats sleeps on the chairs in the same room. They are fine with arrangement and enjoying company of each other all night long.Well, it is reported. They said, they are extremely busy, but will try to check.
Also, got a print out from their website, which lists the sign of cruelty against animals, printed it out and highlighted it. Will drop into their letterbox. Unfortunatelly not an option to confront them, as they are quite agressive and there are 3 men living in that house.Thank you so much. I will contact them tomorrow. Will also drop a note to them on this and will advise if no actions will be taken by the owners, they will be reported. Hope this will scare them a little.
Rosie is settling in well. She is still shy, but slowly settling in and getting used to the surroundings.
we have some difficulty in going for a walk, as she is more than happy to be outside, but no longer than 10 minutes. after doing all her business she starts asking to go home and loses interest in everything what is going on around her. She is very smart, and only being with us 4 full days, she knows where her home is, how to get there. I am trying to extend our walks gradually, so hopefully after a bit of time she will start enjoying them again.
Rosie prefers female company at the moment. She is a bit shy around my husband and is very confident with me. We will try to get into the park at the weekend, to see how she will get around other dogs and people. She is fine with our cats, she ignoring them for most of the time. Rosie definitely likes her new name and responds to it perfectly.
She is very gentle and calm dog, she won’t be the one to run around the house or bark. she likes spending her time looking through the window into the garden, watching everyone around her.Just a quick update. We collected Rose yesterday. She travel fine in a car, but was lucky to get out. She is a bit shy, went around the house with paying no attention to our cats. She just ignored them, as she is way bigger, no no threat there.
She is 100% house trained. She likes when we call her Rosie, is she doesn’t see herself as serious as Rose, so Rosie sounds way better.
She gets very much excited when we go for walk. Unfortunately i was sick with the flue all weekend, so only short walks. She knows how to walk on the lead, but needs to be reminded to stop jumping around as excitement takes over sometimes.
It is only a second day with us and she still feels a bit sad. I think she is missing her pups. Rosie is an only dog in house, but we try to keep her company as much as possible. Her personality is slowly coming through. She is very gentle and she feels best when she is lying in couch watching everyone around. She jumped on to the sofa as soon as she saw it, so it would be our guess, that she used doing that in her previous home.
She also has a habit of hiding food, especially treats. There are about 3-4 peaces under the bed at the moment.
She got her bath yesterday and she wasn’t very happy about it, but really liked sleeping under the blanket after it, which kept her warm.
Rosie is a really sweet and adorable dog.resting after a busy day and a bath. the rule "no dogs on a couch" has definitely been broken. but she is so cute, that i just couldn’t say no.
roe3.jpggot a text from Susan, new owner of Charlie, who just got him home yesterday. he is doing great. Spent all his day looking for a best window around the house to look at. The background of it, Charlie spent most of his time looking through the window into the car park, where the cats were walking while he was our foster baby. He was very exited about it and looks like he tried to find a new spot in Susan’s house to observe the world.
