Christmas has survived Juno!
She’s doing really well & has really settled in. Herself & Eimear are still "the girls" & best buddies which is great to see.
Juno 1.jpgjunodec.jpgJuno’s first birthday has come & gone. She’s still getting on great with everyone & Toby is loving having a new friend to play with.
Juno is home one month today! She has really settled in & feels very much part of the family. Everyone loves her, but herslf & Eimear have formed a special bond, involving stealth treats & very early morning "training" sessions!
She’s remarkably gentle with food & never tries to snatch anything. Mind you , when she gets any food she hovers it up & makes Toby look a bit food shy! Her main problem so far has been the risk of getting stood on while she "supervises" any cooking that’s being done
She’s putting on weight nicely & has actually grown a fair bit since she’s arrived too! Lead training is going OK, but she still has a long way to go. I think dog school will be on the cards very soon now that she’s settled in.
Poor Juno maybe OK with Nerf guns, but she met her match with some robot lego this morning! Mind you , the afternoon was spent lounging on the sofa watching Return of the Jedi with half the local kid population, so live really is n’t all that bad!
Hi,
Today is Juno’s 2 week anniversary! She is getting on really well & seems like she had been here for a whole lot longer than fourteen days! Her ribs are finally begining to disappear (helped I’m sure by the extra treats we’ve discovered that Eimear had been feeding her!) so we’ve now entered more normal Lab territory of making sure she doesn’t get fat!. She still gets upset by shouting (a good excuse to stop!) but is completely unfazed by kids running mad & amazingly has been known to sleep through Nerf gun battles – I think that means she feels secure here!
We’ve all survived Juno’s first bath! She’s a lot easier to have around now that all the mud that she’s uncovered in the garden had been removed from her coat! She smells positively sweet these days! She’s also had all her final injections this week, so we plan to take her to the dog park tomorrow to work on her recall off-lead. Should be very exciting!
Bubbles.jpgDay 2 has gone just as well as Day 1! Juno’s been to the vet & is now free of the tyranny of the dead collar! Her day of intensive how_to_use_the_dog_flap lessons seems to be paying off & she’s now voluntarily venturing outdoors inspite of the horrible weather. She is getting on great with Toby & the rest of us & seems to be settling in well.
Sleepy Dogs.JPGJuno came home this morning! She’s settling in really well so far + is having great fun with Toby & the kids. Unfortunately I think it’ll be a while before i post any pictures as, so far, she sees the appearance of the camera as an invite to jump into your lap!
Thanks again to Jay & Aoife for minding Juno for us!
We’re looking forward to bringing her home too! The kids are SO excited about the new arrival. The name choices have been reduced down to a list of 8 – final decision will be made when we meet her again.
Thanks to Jay for welcoming us this morning. She is certainly very happy in her foster home, I hope she’ll be equally happy here!
