Thanks Cathy and Fidelma, sure we’re crazy about Nancy. She is just such a character. At the moment she is going mad as she had her ‘op’ last Tuesday and is sporting a beautiful plastic lampshape to stop her from getting at her stitches. It certainly has not calmed her down! Cathy, any word on her siblings? I’d love to see how they are getting on.
Well our Nancy is stretching into a little supermodel, her body is still quiet small but her legs have started to get longer and longer. We are convinced there is a bit of whippet in her, when she runs the ears go right back, her legs meet in the middle like a greyhound and she is a little flyer. During the week I came down to find her with one of her ears stuck up, it hasn’t come down yet, she looks so cute. HEr biting has got a bit stronger and I got my first war wound from her this morning….any advise to stop it is welcome. I was told to give her a toy everytime she starts to chew on me, except she prefers me to any of her toys. She has also taken to lying on my shoulders between me and the couch when I’m watching the tele. Nancy is giving us so much joy, she is such a little character (forgot to tell you about her mad spurts – she just goes crazy darting around the house – nothing in particular sets her off, but it’s so funny to watch).
Oh and Nancy loves going for her walks now and is a very sociable little so and so. Lots of people stop to ask what she is and we tell them all about DID and have directed some to the website. Also jokingly we’re calling her the ‘pommier’ seeing as she is mix between a pom and a terrier. Sorry to have missed the walk yesterday but it was for a very good reason. Cathy, I hope your back is getting better.Nancy (The dog formerly known as Misty) is doing great. We started to train her seriously with the aid of rich tea biccies. She is now sitting, staying and fetching. Her toilet training is fantastic and today is the first wee free day on the kitchen floor! She is getting bigger by the day and is a pure delight. Nancy is getting her boosters on Friday so roll on Saturday, when she gets to experiance the real world on her lead.
Eh no way Cathy, sorry! She is staying right here. She is growing so fast, my parents were away for the week and came back and couldn’t believe how tall she has gotten. As I write this she is having a massive argument with her bed. In fact she seems to be relocating it into the middle of the sittingroom floor. Nancy is totally mad, she is a demon for biting at the moment, and seems to think I am fair game for nipping whatever chance she gets (except when she is tired). She is also a giant bundle of fun and we love her so much. Our vet won’t give her her boosters until the 18th of October but I am dying to get her out on a walk to the park. We’ve been practicing on the lead in the garden….. I will keep forwarding phots of her.
Here, here Cathy, if it wasn’t for Fidelma and Ellie we may not even have Nancy. So thanks a million Fidelma!
Misty has been with us just under a week and has brought so much joy to our home. She is a much loved little bundle of fur. We have renamed her Nancy as she is such a little investigator so we thought she deserved to be named after Nancy Drew. We collected her from Cathy (who is absolutely brilliant – thanks to Cathy, her family and Nelson) with great excitement on Sunday and she settled in perfectly – or so we thought, but on Tuesday she wasn’t herself and was sick so we brought her to the vet and she was kept in overnight. The vet thought it could be a serious virus but thank God she bounced right back and is home with us and back to her super playful self. We are so grateful to have her and the children in my class are following her story with great interest. They know all about the importance of looking after their pets and how people volunteer to care for animals that are not cared for by their owners. Hopefully they will always remember the lesson that ‘Our Nancy’ had helped to teach them.
