Hi everyone
It's me Meg's ;) Sorry I have missed talking to you all for
some days, but
I have been very busy learning so many new things,
some I love others not to sure about ;)
Mum is very proud of me as yesterday and today
I went and used the garden like Honey does. wees and poos :005:
Mum and Dad gave me lots of these :bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:
for doing it. :005:
I :luv: the garden and my seat at the bottom I have found
a new den by crawling underneath it ;) Mum came looking for
me and I made her jump when I popped out from under it :lol2:
she didn't know I was there. :005:
I am now allowed to sleep at nights with the bedroom door
open so I can go down stairs if I need the toilet. The last two
morning both of us have woken Mum up at 4 am by jumping up and
giving her kisses and then she gets out of bed and gives us a gravy bone and tells
us to be good dogs and go back to bed it's to early to get up
:005: which we do as we are good girls :lol2: (but I like to play then ;) )
well that is until we hear the clock in the hall strike 5
Honey can tell the time so she says. :-\ she always gets it right
then we try our luck again :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
this time Mum gives in and gets up. then we get our breakfast
early.
Mum tells me I am going out for a ride in the car next week
we had to put it off this week because I had a few days when
I felt jumpy and a bit frightened.
I have grown a little in the 7 weeks I have lived here and my
coat is now got lots of waves coming and my ears are getting
feathering on them, Mum is going to get me to stand on the
grooming table this week for the first time and trim my feet
not sure about this will let all know what happens ;)
I have had 4 new toys a ragged doll...a rope with a tennis ball
tied on it and to day Mum bought home a sock thing :P
with a number 3 on it, Dad said it was what they put over
a golf club...don't know what that is but the sock is great and
I attack it and throw it all a round the room :lol2: and a great
big yellow teddy thing..Honey liked that and took off with it
I shall wait until she is not looking and get it and hid it from her
I make both Mum and Dad laugh when Mum says smile I jump
about showing my teeth and wagging my bum :005:
I am now getting into a routine I have my breakfast and then
a walk around the garden check out all the plants
and then a treat some of Mum's toast...this is followed by a game.
with Honey,
Honey runs away with all the toys and I have to gather them all
back again in my den.it's a struggle to get myself in with them ;)
then it's time I have a nap before my midday
dinner ...then I get myself curled up in a tight ball behind
the chair in the lounge and sleep for the afternoon.
then we have another game by that time it dinner time again
then a little nap before another game with Mum and Dad,
I only have to hear the words BEDTIME and both of us race up
stairs and into our crates both of our face peeking out for our
bedtime gravy bone.than Mum shouts Goodnight and we
both go to sleep and I dream of what games I can play tomorrow
Mum says they both love me so much and I will learn lots
lovely things to do here.
I must go now as it's nearly dinner time again and I rather love
my food ;) have to build myself up to do all these lovely things to come
:luv: to you all
:luv: Meg's

Another lovely update!

HI Meg's
Well you have been having fun in the garden with your toys. You and your big sister are naughty getting your Mum up at 4am....then succeeding at 5pm. You tell your Mum to get up at 4 am, I have to.
You and Honey need to do the sitting on Mums head thing that is bound to get her up :lol2: works on me everytime ;)
Hope you manage to get out in the car next week.
Thank you Mum for the lovely update.
Julie and Ollie

great photo :luv:

Thanks Barnfind for your help still having trouble with them.
Have had to get a friend in to help again to put them
on, have written down the way he did it BUT if it goes
like this again... :005: Barnfind Please,Please come to my help again :lol2:
you can tell I am not a whizz at the computer
Well Meg's has had a few days up and down.
we tried to get her in the car crate Bad move..she pooed
everywhere and was scared, bless her so now we are
starting again by just standing at the front door this next week and
then in a couple of weeks the next stage will be walking around it and
sitting in it. We think she is so afraid of open spaces as well as men.
Still there is no rush we must let her now tell us when she is ready
for the next move, can't help being so proud of her to have come
this far in only 9 weeks yesterday.
She loves the garden and has found a den under her seat she is so
proudly standing on in her photo. and she knows every bit of the garden
as we put a new plant pot in a differant place and she spotted it
and went to inspect it :lol2:
I am taking lots of photos so we can see her develop into a
happy wagging cocker, she has put on weight and getting her
wavy coat and feathering on the ends of her ears, and a little
white blob on the tip of her tail, so cute :shades:
She loves running around the bed at 4 in the mornings :o
and getting me up. :shades:
so this morning I sat outside with a mug of tea watching
the morning come alive.....(do you like that :005: poetic )
and watching, and listening to the birds...must admit it was nice
so quiet and still. mind you the bed still would have be nice too :lol2:
Meg has changed our lives...we know in our heart she was meant to
come to us and help us understand that life is a two way thing...giving her our
love and she hers to us. Only people who love dogs can
understand the bond and how much they give us unconditionally
He ladyship will be back soon to bark at you and tell you all
about all the things she has done and is going to do. ;)
My HO has said we should print her Dairy out
and make a book so we can keep it and remember her
growing up He has already called it...
" The New Life Of A Puppy Farm Girl called Megan "
not sure what do you all think?
Thank you all

Val, when you go to your photobucket page you will see, next to the photo, 4 'Share Links' options including the wrong one you posted. In order to 'copy' your picture onto a forum you must use the URL link which is the bottom one of the 4. Just click on the one called IMG (URL link) and that will automatically copy the link into the 'temp' file on your computer and then paste that link onto your 'reply' post.
Sounds complicated but it is easier than I have (clumsily!) explained. I will post your other photo of Megan on her seat if you would like but maybe try again yourself?? ;)
BTW, I like the idea of a book!! :D

Megs is beautiful. A diary is a great idea. It was something I wished I had done with my first staff.
if you want a longer title " The new life of a puppy farm girl called Megan or Megans journey from sad to mad " ;)
-
Everytime I read the updates I just think you were both made for each other. The love you have for her and the care you show is so touching.
-
Oh Val
Have just seen the photo's and silly me welled up...I cannot believe how she has come on, so confident in the garden and on the bench. She is so very beautiful.
When you think how she was when she first arrived and to see her now.
I know she still has away to go, but she has done so well already.
She is a credit to you and you are so lucky to have her as she is to have you.
I do realize how much joy she has brought :luv:
Love to precious Meg's and Honey too. :luv:
Julie
-
What lovely pictures :luv:
-
She looks beautiful and it is lovely to read how well she is doing. I think it is amazing how you have come into each other's lives, definitely for a reason :luv:
-
Megan is a beautiful girl...lovely hearing how she is getting on...think you were made for each other x
-
She is beautiful :luv:
Isn't it funny how the seat is now known as "Megan's seat" :005:
shows how much they completely change our lives.
Sharon.
-
Its lovely to see all the hard work pay off and for such a lovely girl to emerge. Lovely to read her updates.
-
She is a beautiful little girl, I keep a journal on Amber ,
My daughter in law bought me the book and I have written in it every now and again throughout
Her now nearly six years.
It's comforting to me to read it now because Amber was such a HORRAH as a puppy it makes me
Happy now to remind me of how she has turned out.
She is a nervy dog , always has been right from the start of us having her at nine weeks,
She still has her grumbles but on the whole has turned out to be lovely .
-
Well you two are a match made in heaven. :luv:
Meg is just beautiful, and doing so incredibly well. I think she has come such a long way in a short space of time, it is amazing.
Is Megs car crate removable? Just wondering that if it was left in the house with a wee blanket in it and she was able pop in and out of it, get familiar etc. if it was put back in the catr would she feel more comfortable as she already knows her car crate? (not sure that all made sense!)
-
Lovely pictures of a beautiful girl, you must be so proud of the change you have made to her life.
Good idea re the diary too
-
Megs is just gorgeous and you can tell by her expression how much she is now enjoying her life. It's not so long ago that she was cowering in the house ~ now she looks around the garden from 'her' seat as if she was the princess of her territory. It'll be 'Meg's Garden' next.
Love the idea of a book, especially with photos. A fabulous memory to look back on and make you realise what an incredible achievement you made.
How about: 'Miracle Meg: from puppy farm to forever home'?

Hi everyone Meg's here again. :lol2:
Sorry I have not had time to pop in for a few
days as I have been enjoying myself, well most of
the time, had a few scary times, like when the people
several doors down to where I live were putting up
new fencing and making lots of bangs and talking
in very loud voices, it made me nervous so I stayed
in doors most of the time,
I have not been out the front door yet, Mum thought
it was better for me to get over my fright I had the
last time, before we tried again.
Mum went out on Sunday morning and came back with TWO
new toys for me, one is a large rabbit almost as big as
me... :005: mind you I soon put him in his place. ;)
shook him all around the room :lol2: he just gave in :005:
the other toy I really love it's got lots of different coloured
pieces all tangled up in a ball with another ball in the
middle of it and it's on a rope handle. I ran around the
room this morning dragging and shaking it by the rope.
Mum tried to keep me quiet as it was just gone 5 am :005:
I woke Mum up again at 4...kept jumping up by at her side
of the bed.....Dad just puts his hand out for me to lick
Mum strokes my back :luv: that, in the end she gives in
when Honey joins in as well, :lol2: and gets up.
Mum says she has printed out my diary and I have a blue
file with my name on it and I am going to have my photos
in it as well.
I have grown and filled out....(Mum said this) ....and put on
some weight and my coat is nice and shiny also.
I have now been here with my family 10 weeks and I know they
love me very much, because they never get cross or shout
at me even if I do get a little madam and keep barking :lol2:
when they tell me to be quiet. will they never learn
we girls are never quiet :005: :lol2: :lol2:
I did get frightened yesterday though as Mum had put lots
of boxes piled up in the hall ( by that front door ) :o she said
they won't hurt me as she is going to sell them at a car-boot
on Saturday, Dad is going to look after me for the morning.
while she is out, :luv: my Dad even though I bark at him
when he comes into the room, sometimes I start barking
when I hear him coming down stairs .... :005:
Mum said I am now growing big so she has dropped
my meals down to three times a day but I do get plenty of
treats as well...love my carrots.....Had some stuffed into
my new toy, (the one with the rope) so they spilled out as I
ran and played with it...better than my Kong as the fall
out easier :lol2:...
Well ot much more news except I am happy and now
of to find Honey so we can have a game chasing up and
down the rooms.....You know I have learned I can always
win Mum over by doing my cocker bum waggle and smiling
then she says" Meg's are you smiling?"
:luv: to you all
:luv: :luv: Meg's
-
Love and hugs for you Meg's. :luv: :luv: :luv:
-
Sounds like Meg is still blossoming :luv: :luv:
Great updates and lovely to see her photo's.
:bigarmhug: :bigarmhug:

You make me smile Megs....love to you :luv:

still her ladyship will be back tomorrow to tell you all her news.

What a beautiful girl, literally breath taking :luv: :luv: :luv:
-
Wow :luv: :luv:
What a huge change you can see in her face and posture how much happier she is. Lovely photos made my day :luv:
-
Can't believe what a difference a few weeks, loads of love and patience and a good diet have made. Megs is just stunning. :luv: :luv: :luv: Looking forward to a further update on her adventures tomorrow. Diana xx
-
She looks so young & puppyish, especially in the first photo. Keep up the great work😃😃
-
Hard to believe that it is the same dog as appeared on the MT website. She is quite literally transformed.

I am a good girl waiting for my treat
Mum said she it wasn't the gremlins after all
she forgot to paste :lol2: :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
-
Hi everyone,
Sorry about the so called gremlins
just forgot to paste. :doh:
Meg is doing well although the last few days she
has been a bit jumpy as we did some shifting
the furniture about we have found Meg's is very warily of
things she hasn't seen before
today we decided to sit outside for a snack at lunch
time and I popped a tablecloth on the patio table
( it needs painting :005:)
couldn't work out why she wouldn't come out to us
took it off and out she came. if we put anything she
hasn't seen before she hides. poor sweetheart :luv:
I registered her with our local council and her name tag
came yesterday and I put in on her collar this morning
she was not to pleased and tried so hard to bit it off
she is having a go at it right now behind me in her bed.
HO and I are going to try again starting on Monday to
coax her out on to the front drive again. it really hurts to
see her so scared :-\ but she has come on so well
the diary has been a help in showing us just how far she
has come you tend to forget the little steps in Meg's case
big ones.
I have tried a number of different foods since I spoke to
you and each one has been rejected :shades: until
a week ago and found she adores Aldis's Tripe, Chicken and
Beef tin dog food. not sure what the value is but she will eat it
all up and at the moment I'm just so glad. she is putting on weight
and filling out no more piano keys along her back.
I can't believe it will soon be 3 months since she came into
our lives. have found one thing she hates the wet she and
Honey are well suited :005: hoping to get some really
nice photos of her and Honey together over the weekend
Meg's sends you all her :luv: and will let you know how
she gets on, on Monday with her driveway outing.
:-* :-* :-* from Meg's
-
Interesting that you report she is scared of anything 'new' but appears to be happy with a BIG 'new' yellow duck!!! :005:
Go figure??? ;)
-
She is looking so different and happy... it's lovely to see.
-
Hello
It's me Meg's again,
sorry that I have not popped in for several days but I
have been a little frightened as we had some people
living by us who replaced all their fencing and they shouted
and made lots of banging noise it scared me,
I just got feeling better when the people on the other side
did theirs as well, so I wouldn't go out into the garden
for some time. Mum was worried about me any way on
Sunday afternoon I plucked up some courage and went out
a few steps. I felt much better and back to my old self again.
Honey and I are still waking Mum up at 4.30 and this morning
Mum picked me up and put me in bed. I gave them both a
big cocker kiss. :005: I like being up early :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
more time to play with my toys, Mum has bought me 2 more
a cuddly one like a bee and a rope one with a ball in it, I'm
letting Honey have that one.
Mum wanted to take some photos of me last week
but it rained most days and I don't like the rain. :005:
I still am very, very scared and Mum said she is going to see
if she can get some one to help me feel better.
have to go now as Mum want to tell how.
:luv: :luv: you all.
Meg's :luv:
Hi
I have been so worried about Meg as she is still so frightened
I feel so helpless, then a friend gave me a book about
Animal Communicator's by Pea Horsley.
so I decided to try and see if I could find one locally and was in luck I
did and I spoke to her on Sunday afternoon and she has agreed to take
Meg's on ( strange thing is after I spoke to Nancy Meg was back to
her self and has been a different dog)
we had a long chat and
I dropped off the things she needed yesterday which were
a photo with the dog looking at the camera face on
and 6 questions I want to ask Meg
she will then be in touch, and if Meg's needs more help
with a home visit.
I so much want to help Meg's and know how we can over come
her dreadful fears.
We all know our dog's can read our thoughts
;) always ready for walks before we have said anything :005:
I will let you know how we get on.
Val
-
i would recommend a really good behaviourist over a 'communicator' ;)
-
Perhaps a Tellington Touch Practioner and definitely someone who uses positive/reward based training ;) I love reading Meg's updates :luv:
Stephanie, George and Hamish xxx
-
i would recommend a really good behaviourist over a 'communicator' ;)
Meg's problem is one of many fears she has due to what she has been
through in her short life and not her behavior is in question, she is the most
sweet loving little girl you could wish to meet ,we just need to find out
what she is so scared of and why so and if an Animal Communicator can help by talking to her
then I think it's worth a try
I guess they were unsure about Horse Whispers at first, but they work.
As a spiritualist I do believe that it is possible to talk to those who have passed
on and be guided by them if we have tried everything and still need their help,
just ask..
this is what I have done, hence the Animal Communicator Our
Meg is so important to us and we will try everything to
help her overcome these fears... anyway
if it doesn't work, what have we lost. just a bit of brass also
we have from the beginning worked with the positive and reward training
but both of us have to admit as from Sunday afternoon Meg's has been a different dog
so much better.and not so jumpy...
still only time will tell,
as they say nothing ventured, nothing gained.
we are using positive and reward training
-
Val
Sorry only just caught up with this.
I think you have to go with your own feelings, you are the one who see Meg's 24/7 and you know what is best for her.
Hope all works out, and remember how far she has come already. There are bound to me some pot holes along the way, and some things that sadly she may not conquer, but will grow to accept.
You are a star
Julie

:luv: my big sister Honey :luv: :luv:
-
Meg has been full of beans today and in between the rain they both have enjoyed
being outside with us.
Meg has put on weight and filled out, no longer has spindle legs.
think she now looks more like a show than a worker.
mind you the rate she charges around the rooms she might have some
worker in her.
She is a joy to have :luv: :luv: her to bits.
-
The girls look great together, beautiful photo's :luv:
Time, patients and understanding is clearly working, sometimes we need a little help to understand what is going on, we can get that from a chance meeting in the park or from a professional.
You've had her such a short time and has come along way, I remember Bea as a pup, progress could be slow or even stall and then suddenly ( 6 months later ) it clicked :005:
Just like a 8 week old pup, Meg has such a lot to discover and it must be hard to do when your start in life was scary.
Sharon.

Lovely photographs of 2 beautiful cockers :luv: :luv:
-
Lovely to see Meg's looking so much more confident not to mention healthier. You can see that she has grown, and what a stunning girl. Love the two of them together, Honey is such a lovely soft gold colour. :luv:
-
Absolutely gorgeous photos of two stunning girls whose colouring complements each other perfectly. Megs definitely has a little twinkle in her eye in the second photo. She's just beautiful ~ no wonder you love her so much and what you have achieved with her in such a short time is nothing short of miraculous. :luv: :luv: :luv: Diana xx

What georgous girls you have :luv: :luv:
Megs is looking so much happier now, it's lovely to see.

Hi Meg's Mum here,
Just thought I would let you all know how Meg's is doing
as you know several weeks ago I got in touch with an
Animal Communicator called Nancy who lived in Northamptonshire
both HO and I said how much better Meg has been over the last
week-end it was as if something had been lifted, not sure how
to explain but she was just different.and still is. I had not checked my
emails until 11-45 Sunday night and found that one from
Nancy says she had spoken to Meg on Friday evening.
hence the change in her.
and would it be possible for her to visit this Thursday to see
Meg and give her some Reiki Healing as well and today
we had along talk and Nancy explained that Meg had given her
a lot ....first was how she talked about her...and her home...etc
I will give you some of what she gave as there are at lot
all spot on ..some are in impressions, some in words.
Standing & wagging tail her tail ........ (all the time)
pleased with her toy, loves the one she pulls around bites it with her mouth..
gently play
says Good People , sniffs at by other dog given a lick..( Honey)
eats food in a delicate way....( right on)
nice Blue bed soft one, rough fleece inside...( Meg has one but it's by
my side of bed,) no way Nancy would have know this Likes stroke on top of her head
NOT TOO MUCH elsewhere on body feels too much
doesn't like it......( felt from the first Meg would not like being held)
Dad sitting in armchair reading paper..socks..Likes to sit near by.
( her bed is beside HO chair as he always reads the morning paper)
THESE GOOD PEOPLE
Lies on back sometimes Tummy rub..wets herself ( when stressed)
coloured glass in front door...(we have a stained glass panel in front door)
car in driveway.
I was asked to ask Meg 6 questions
Nancy said here Megs was withdrawn as to give to much
but this is what she said
Question 1...Can you tell us what your life was like before you were
rescued by Sylvia and came to Many Tears?
Meg...Many of us...Big room...Smelly.
picked up, moved around, could happen anytime. uncertain..
unsafe...never knew what was going to happen
picked up by scruff of neck and taken off
Black dog..
OH GOD ..Oh GOD.
so frightened, never knew what's going to happen next.
...........................
Question 2..Can you please tell us your Mum & Dad what has made you
so frightened of meeting people?
Meg gave images and impressions
Big shoes..Big Feet.Big Boots..Hurly Burly Men
never kind or careful just pushed up and taken like pieces of furniture
image of being on a lead and pushed and reared, people are bad.
never feel safe. nothing and nowhere to feel safe
.................................
Question 4 Also can you tell us why you are so afraid of
going out of the front door?
Oh God No
all got worse after going in the car, bad things will happen
had to sit on someones lap...Harness...Collar. needs to feel safe
( this I think is when we had to take her to the vets to have
her stitches out if you all recall it was dreadful and she was sat on my lap)
Nancy never knew about this
In question 3 Nancy asked Meg's how we might help her to overcome these fears
she said Still and Strong Love and Trust
her last words were these
I LIKE THESE PEOPLE
THEY ARE MY FAMILY
all I can say is that Meg's has been a different happier dog since she has
had this help and she is going to have a Tellington Touch Practitioner come
and teach us how to do this as well as Nancy carrying on with communicating
and Reiki healing.
-
Who is HO ? ;)
Honeysmum, this has made me cry. do not care what other people think but you could not make that up. question 1 and 2 heartbreaking. I just want to hug Megs . hope with Nancy's help you can bring Meg out of the dark for ever .

My mum is a reiki master and while I know many people have doubts surrounding spiritual healing (even I do sometimes) it's something that has many positive results. Mum came and did her stuff ;) on our old dog Lizzy after she had surgery for an accident. Vet said Liz would take days to even start walking again and her recovery would be hard. Mum came straight after surgery and sat with her hands on Lizzy. When she had done, Lizzy got up and walked round like nothing had happened and was eating and back to normal by the next morning. On her check up, the vet was amazed at her recovery and said he had never seen such a wound heal so quickly and asked what we had done. ..I told him she had been zapped by reiki power :005: He said, well if it does that I'm a convert!! So, doubters aside, you go with whatever you feel is best for Meg :luv: :luv:
-
Amazing, I too would try anything to help heal My babies.x
-
Amazing and if it is helping Meg :luv:, it does not matter what other people think ;)

Nancy has just given me the phone no of the lady that she advised
me would help Meg to relax and she is a Trust Technique Practitioner
and not the T.T Touch Practitioner,as I mentioned (but I will still try and do this T.T.as well)
will try anything that helps my little girl overcome her fears
so all being well on Tuesday Meg's will get her first session of this.
will let you know how we get on as Angie is going to teach us also the Trust Technique
and how to work with it on Meg's.
Val
:luv: to you all from Meg's
-
your post regarding how Meg has responded to the animal communicator, had me in tears, , this world is a funny place and we don't always understand how it works, but something seems to be connecting here.
I love reading your posts, love to you and your cockers
-
Val am so delighted to read how this is helping both Meg's and hubby and you.
What Nancy has said is amazing, and I am sure some of it is confirming sadly what you had thought, but in more detail. Meg's as we know is a very special little girl and finding you was meant to be. :luv:
It is a credit to you that your love and devotion to Meg's and your determination to better her life is truly wonderful. It saddens me so to find all this pain in her life, but she loved and secure with you.
I am sure that Tuesday will bring more success.
As always love and hugs to Meg's and Honey

Hi
As Meg is sleeping off her dinner I thought it
was a good time for me to let you all know
how she is doing, well she she is so much better
and far more relaxed, and now loves being stroked
all over and cuddled lifted her up on the bed this
morning and she sat there quite happily for several
minutes. I will post a photo of her crashed out upside down
in her bed tomorrow :lol2:
Yesterday we had our first session of Trust Technique
and Angie is teaching me how to do it, we did it first time this
morning and she gave several sighs and relaxed
it was a lovely experience for both of us,
please do punch onto Trust Technique web site, I was amazed
to see the clips of how this man worked with it on horses
(other animals as well) but to see the horses laid down
beside him as he sat there and then go to sleep.
I don't have a horse but I'm sure those of you on COL
who have will find it so helpful and lovely to see.
Bill and I can't get over how much Meg's has come on
since Nancy spoke to her and gave her Reiki Healing
today we have been painting the dinning room out so
all the furniture was every where, before she freaked
if a paper bag was out of place, but today she just
wandered about just like Honey ....underfoot ;)
I know we have a long way to go before she is really
happy about going out but seeing her playing and
happy is wonderful,
Val & Meg

Hi It's me Meg's
Mum sneaked this photo of me waiting for my Tummy Rub :005:
I have been so much happier these days, :lol2: and not so scared
of everything, yesterday Mum and Dad moved all the things out of
the room where I have my food and I didn't mind ;) Honey kept
getting under their feet so I thought would join her too. :005:
I had a nice lady talk to me the other day and I told her some of the things that
frightened me I feel much better now and she is coming to see me
again soon for another chat. I have got Mum to buy me chicken
as I really don't like all the other dog foods.... ;) mind you I love
all the treats :005: :005:.
I will have to go as I think I hear Dad opening a packet of Gravy
Bones...my favorites :dance04:
:luv: you all
:luv: Meg's.

Lovely to hear and see how Meg is progressing - she is a beautiful girl :luv:
-
really relaxed if showing her belly . a little dog has never had so many aunties and uncles :005:

the photos show what a long way she has come
-
The 'before and after' photos show just how far Megs has come in a short time and brought a lump to my throat. She looks as if she's smiling waiting for her tummy rub. Wonderful what love and care can do for these poor babies. At least she was young when she joined your family and has a lifetime of love and fun to look forward to. :luv: :luv: :luv: Diana xx
-
What a little princess :luv:
-
It is a joy to see how far she has come.....she looks so content waiting for her tummy rub :luv:
She is such a special little darling.
Love to Meg's and her big sister Honey
Julie

Beautiful Meg :luv: :luv: the change in her is fantastic, she looks so much more relaxed :D

Lovely seeing how far she has come and how much she's changed. All credit to you.
-
My heart just swells whenever I read these updates. It just proves a little patience and a heap of love can work miracles.

This is so lovely, I've mentioned the thread to a rescue who also rehomes puppy farm dogs, in the hope that the new owners will look here and have an inkling of pf dog behaviour, on arrival and after nursing ...

Hi everyone,
just to let you all know how Meg is doing,
I am so PROUD for her. Today
we had our second session with Angie who is a
Trust Technician and Meg sat by the side of me
in the chair,( not something she likes to do at all)
Angie sat on the floor quite a way from her and made a fuss of
Honey...who just lapped up all this fuss ;) and inch by inch
got nearer to us all the time fussing Honey.
Meg just watched and was ready to bolt
I just kept stroking her head and talking to her then
Angie rested her arm on the side of the chair and asked Meg's
if she mind her stroking her foot...then later her head, all the time
asking Meg's if she minded she even stroked Meg's face
Meg took it all in her stride and even sniffed and licked her hand :o
That was so brave of my little girl, since she is frightened of people,
Angie then gave her the Trust Tech treatment and Meg's just
relaxed and sighed ...not to be out done Honey flopped down
and went to sleep sighing as well. :lol2:
after an hour Angie went and Meg's was so sleepy and relaxed
she stayed by me for another 20 minutes before stretching and getting
down....
We have noticed that she is now so much happier around the house
and got so cheeky :005: She is just like Holly it the fact she has
become my shadow I only have to say "Coming up stairs with me Meg's?"
and she leads the way....Wish I could run up stairs like that :lol2: :lol2:
We are having another session on next Monday.
I think Meg will be on to tell you all about it then.
Meg's Mum is so PROUD of you for being so brave
:luv: :luv: you
-
:clapping: :clapping:
-
Aww that's wonderful x
-
Lovely!
-
Oh Val -am so delighted to read how well darling Meg's is doing.
Just shows you need to follow your heart and do what you feel is best for our precious cocker darlings.
Julie and Ollie x
-
Meg's we are all so proud of you sweetheart :luv: Well done. Big hugs for Honey :luv: too, helping to show her the way :bigarmhug:
-
Aw kisses and hugs for both your lovely girls... :-* :-*

Hi everyone it's me Megs. :dance04:
Sorry it's been sometime since I popped in to bark with you.
Well, first I must let you all know that I have been a good girl,
well Mum told me I have. ;)
and guess what at last I have started to grow and put on weight, and
got a lot of puppy fluff :005: now, my Mum stands me on the table and brushes me
after she has let me sniff the brush, just so I am not frightened by it
I was very brave yesterday after being brushed Mum slipped on my
lead and carried me to the front door where we looked out of the two
windows, then she opened the front door and let me peek out while she
still held me, I didn't freak at all. then Mum stepped out and we walked round
to the front window where we saw Honey looking out at us, I was :o how did
Honey get there. then Mum put me down on the floor I was to scared to move
so she picked me up and we walked round to the front door again and when we
were about 6 ft away Mum put me down and asked me to run in through the door.
I did but once inside she let my lead go and I ran straight upstairs I was a little scared but
Mum followed me and took off my lead and gave me 4 YES 4 gravy bones
for being a brave girl. but I stayed there for some time the came down for a treat
as I heared Honey getting one. ;)
Angie the lady who has been coming each week to give me the Trust Treatment said
she is so pleased with me and I do relax with her. so does Honey she
snores her head off :005:
Last week we had Mum and Dads grandson stopping with us, but he never made
me feel frightened by trying to talk to me I did stay in my den but on the
last day I was sitting with Mum when he came into the room, he never took any
notice of me ( it seems Mum told him not to,)and when I was put down
I hurried around the table and walked to my den and didn't run I even stopped
and barked at him before I nipped out of sight. :lol2: :lol2:
It is 5 months on Thursday since I came here to live.
I am beginning to enjoy my life now I have a family who love me and a big
sister in Honey who I chase around :lol2: we run up and down the room
making a lot of noise, until we get stopped. I also have a BIG TOY box
with so many different toys mind you I rather play with chewing the ends of the
rugs, :shades: love my Dad's socks also I gather them up if he's not looking
serves him right for not picking them up. ;) made both of them laugh
this morning I found his slipper and carried it off to my den, well started to
but they caught me before I got there.
Mum said she was so proud of me today for the first time I went out and
used the garden, Mum said she hopes it's the first of many :lol2: :lol2:
well I have to go now as my friend Angie will soon be here, must get ready
to meet her.will be back soon to chat again
:luv: to you all
:luv: Megs

Aw Megs what a clever girl you are :luv:

Well done Meg, you are becoming such a brave girl :luv: :cool4:

Good girl Meg. :luv:

Hi everyone,
As Meg's is sleeping off her chicken dinner at the present time
I thought I would let you know the latest news on her and how she is doing,
I read through her diary several days ago and suddenly realised just
how far she has come, Yes there is still a very, very long way to go,
but she is slowly getting there. A day at a time
I watched her run around the house today in such a carefree way that a happy dog does and
I only have to say shall we go upstairs and she races ahead of me.
and when the words TREATS is said ...well who's first into the kitchen :shades:
didn't take her long to find out that's where they are kept. ;) as well as in the
computer room and the pot of gravy bones night treat in the bedroom ;)
tonight she was enjoying big roll on the carpet think she is now feeling at home.
but her most endearing thing is early ( 4am early) :D when she stands up at
the side of the bed touching me waiting to be picked up and cuddled it's then a
gravy bone for both of them...somehow Honey cottoned on to this, then
told back to bed with luck we get to 5.30 before it's round two :lol2: :lol2:
I tried taking her outside again several times, the first 2 were OK but the
last time my neighbour spotted us and came out to speak, that done it, she
got uptight and pooed all down me and ran up stairs, after a while when she calmed
down she wandered down as if nothing had happened, she gets over things much
quicker now...only thing was she was covered in poo, so had to give her a back end bath
but she took it in her stride and ran around barking..she is good at that. ;) could bark
for England, especially at OH :005: I wish all of you could see her so happy and playful
I am so PROUD of my little girl :luv: :luv:
She made us smile the other day it was raining hard and she stood half in and half out of the
door trying to find out what was dropping on her..since then she seems to like the rain
and asks to go out in it...wonder what she will make of the snow?
I will try and get some more photos of her to post I sent Sylvia at M.T. some photos and
an update of her progress and we had a lovely card back from Sylvia
saying that all the team were celebrating at the news she is doing well
Hopefully the next update will be able to say she is going out for walks.
Thank you all for :luv: Meg like we do, we can't remember what life was like
before she came home.
Val
-
Still look in to see how she is doing , sounds like she is doing brilliantly ! :luv:

-
A lovely update, I so look forward to reading Megan's diary.
-
What a lovely update. I get excited when I see new post :luv:
-
You are all amazing - humans and dogs alike. It sounds like Meg has found the perfect home and it's lovely to hear what progress she's making. :luv:

A lovely brilliant update, its so lovely to catch up with you all. :luv:

So wonderful to read how Meg's is coming along
Love to Meg's and Honey

Hi,
Just got to tell you all Meg's has made a big step forward,
in her toilet training. :happydance:
since yesterday she is now paying visits to the garden
hopefully the carpet cleaner can soon have a well earned rest ;)
then the next step is trying to get her used to sitting in the car, I am going to
put the boot up and put in her small bed plus some toys in the back
and sit with her doing the Trust Technique she is responding so
well with it. it's so nice and restful we both doze off :shades:
She now loves for us to lift her up onto the bed around 4 am and snuggles down in our
arms for about half an hour.It's even getting later as well before getting up,
nearly 6 this morning :D guess it's the darker mornings :005:
She is our little sweetheart :luv: must tell you her latest thing
when waiting for treats etc she stand with her front feet on poor Honey's
back so she can get nearer :lol2: good job Honey is so laid back
and a gentle soul. well off now to give her an extra cuddle
cheers
Val x
-
Aw, this made me smile and chuckle, well done Megs you beautiful girl :luv:
-
Aw you are so patient and loving
what a lukcy little dog to come home
to you guys :luv:
-
So happy to read that Megs is getting stronger.
Love to her and sister Honey.

Hi everyone,
It's been a while since I have posted so thought
you would all like to know how Meg's is doing.
She has put on weight her favorite food being fresh chicken, and ham you can
forget dog meat dried or tinned and we have tried most sorts by now
( still Honey enjoys them ) :lol2: also her coat now is nice and thick and wavy
and she likes being groomed well of a fashion ;)
she is a real source of delight to us both we :luv: her so much,
I can't believe it is now 6 months since we got her.
and how much she has come on, a real long way in that time.
she has lots of sweet habits but
one of her favorite things is standing up by the side of the bed
and pawing us until we pick her up and she lays between us,
mind you it is 4. AM :huh:
She is partly clean now although the carpet cleaner is still
wearing out faster ;) than I would like. :005: I think
she just gets excited OR leaves it to the last minute. :shades:
She is still frightened by people and scared to go outside in
the front garden so over the last few days I have been sitting her
in the bay window timing it with when the children go to school.
and there are also lots of cars as well. I am hoping she will get to see
that they are not going to hurt her and it will build her confidence.
so far she has stopped looking away when people go by
and if a dog goes passed she will sit up and takes an intrest.
Around the house she is so happy and loves all her treats and toys
which are getting battered and a few have ended up in the bin
torn to bits, She is so alert to everything in the house and if we move
something she spots it straight away and checks it out, this morning
after a lots of rain and wind lots of the leaves had come down on
the patio in fact it was covered with them, would she go out,
NO way not until it was light and she could see what they were.
If we have visitors she won't come out but as soon as they have
gone out of the front door she is out checking up on everything.
Our biggest hurdle is really to get her happy to going out. I am so longing to take
her for walks which once done she will enjoy but I guess it
is going to take a long time. but we will not rush her even if it takes months
We couldn't wish for a more delightful, happy, bouncy playful girl
we have been so lucky in getting her.
I have tried to get more photos of her to post but she is
proving to be a little madam when she see the camera come out
and nips off to quickly.
still I will catch her out yet.
Val
and :luv: from Meg's
-
Such a lovely update on darling Meg :luv: :luv: The way she is progressing, i am sure that the time, when she feels ready to venture into the great outdoors, will be not too far away with your help and of course her big Sister Honey :luv: :luv:
Stephanie, George and Hamish xxx

Only yesterday I wondered how little Megs was doing.
It is so lovely to get the updates and read how well she is doing. She has done so well in six months, so how much more will she achieve in another six months :luv:
Love to Megs and big sister Honey
Julie and Ollie
-
Lovely update
-
So good to hear more of Megs progress. She is doing so well. My dear Jessie is still too frightened to go out for a walk despite having her best fiend Maggie with her and that's after 2half years. Keep your news coming Meg.

Hi everyone
It's me Meg's :009:
Sorry it has been a long time since Mum let me get to chat
to you all, but I have been learning lots of things and,
well I am getting a lot better, I really love running around my home
and in the garden, ;) but still scared of lots of things, ph34r
like the wind blowing all the the leaves about but my
Dad went out several times a day to sweep them up so
to help me. Mum encourages ( well ) makes me come out of my hiding
place behind the chair when we have visitors come, so I have to meet them
I'm not so frightened now because I don't wee when she is holding me anymore :005:
and after they have said hello and stroke me Mum puts me in my basket
so I am with them all and can see that they will not hurt me. AND I no longer
race back to hide behind my chair when Mum tells me I can go, I walk quickly.
I am very good at doing what I am told now, Mum only has to say "coming up stairs Meg?"
and I beat her up there I had my photo taken peeking around the post at the top of the
stairs looking for her, :lol2: she takes a lot longer then me to get up them, but she
tells me that I've got four feet :005: I don't get up so early now, around 5.30 am
Mum brings me down to go out in the garden for a wee then I beat her back upstairs
where I (and Honey also) get a gravy bone and told go back to sleep Meg's, which I do
untill a little later then I sneak around to Dad's side and he lifts me up on the bed and
after I have kissed and licked him I creep over to Mum and kiss her then I roll over
onto my back between them and they give me belly rubs. :005: :005: I love that.
Mum has not made me go out the front door for sometime but she said now I am more
relaxed and not so scared we will start to try and go out in the new year,
Honey has told me all about Christmas when we get more toys and treats :D
but this year Mum told Honey we are not having any Christmas decorations up or tree
because I get so frightened when there are new things in the house, mind you
I now love the shopping bags ( I was scared of them once) they have lovely
treats in them I help them unpack them too :shades: Mum says
I'ts all about learning and follow Honey as she is a great teacher, I love playing with her and
when we are in the kitchen waiting for a biscuit I stand on her back :005: so I
can get nearer to Mum and be first ;)
well I have to go now,
but I am so much happier now and enjoy each day.
Mum is going to put my photo on in the next post hope you like it.
:luv: :luv: to you all
Meg's :luv:

Hi everyone looking for your advice please
I have said before how Meg's is with her food so fussy
at the present time, she refuses to touch all types of dried dog food, all
sorts of tinned meat, at the present time she is eating cooked chicken but she is
getting picky with that, I have read several post about giving Raw food.
I looked in Pets at Home this morning and see they do a range of raw food.
(they are only down the road from us) Natural Instinct I think was one of them,
I wonder if any of you have your babes on raw and would you recommend raw food,
If we try some how do you go about changing so not to upset her tummy.
the little madam loves all things like ham,cheese,dog biscuits,treats and carrots
so find it hard to understand why she will not try any of the other sorts of dog food.
I worry that chicken on it's own is not giving her a balanced diet.
Help...please.
-
Mollie was always very fussy but liked and did well on a mixture of Wainwrights kibble and wet mixed together. However as she always had ear problems and itchy skin I put her onto raw. Food is always 'woofed' :005: down - always a clean bowl. She absolutely loves it and we've never looked back. So easy to do. I do use prepared foods though (I'm not a DIY) so I like Nutriment, Natural Instinct and PP Raw. You literally weigh the defrosted food and serve - so easy. I'm sure she would love it. I literally gave her last kibble/wet one day and started her on the chicken raw the next morning. No problems.

Here's a chart for the % to feed. Mollie had 300g per day - 150g in the morning and the other 150g in the evening. She is on 145g (x2) as I thought she needed to lose a tiny bit of weight. Are you on Facebook as there are some good groups on there with lots of information.
-
Archie was really fussy when he was young. Wainwrights wet trays were the only thing he would eat. He loves it. He wasn't keen when I tried raw. But he does enjoy a small chicken wing as a special treat now and then! Hope you find something that she loves.

Hi
Have taken a few more photos of Meg's must admit I love her LONG
lashes they seem to get longer every day.
tried her on Raw this morning and she eat 2 cubes heared her smacking her lips
so hoping she may like it.
thanks so much for your advice, our first cocker Misty was picky but
Meg's is far worse. :shades: just want to make sure she gets good food
mind you Honey (or Dyson :005: our new walking hoover ) is loving all the different meals, so
nothing is going to waste. :005:
-
:luv: she is beautiful!
-
Meg is a stunner :luv: :luv: I hope she likes the raw food :shades:
Stephanie, George and Hamish xxx
-
Fantastic photos :luv:
-
Glad she liked the food. She is looking so well and beautiful, what a fantastic job you have done.
-
It is so wonderful what you have done for Megan.
-
Well, Meg enjoyed 2 cubes of raw this morning and as advised on the
packet to introduce slowly over 7 days and tonight she had a large bowl full of
cooked chicken which she made short work of.
I was so proud of her today we had visitors and I fetched her out for the last
10 minutes and sat with her on my lap at the table, she was stroked and made
a fuss of and bless her she was brave enough to smell the ladies coat.
and the sat in her basket while we said goodbye to them, before scooting back
to her bolt hole. It may seem a small step but to her it's giant leap.
Tomorrow it's on the grooming table for a Christmas trim up, can't believe
how much her coat has grow. I have to try and trim her nails :o hate doing
this so scared of cutting to far so I have bought some special clippers that you
only put in a small bit of nail. Honey always goes to see the nurse at the vets
because her nails are thick and have a bad habit of curling right around. PLUS
she is a madam to have them done, they take her out in the back room because
if we are there she plays up. :D
will take some photos of Meg's having her trim up ;) she is such a good little
thing when having her coat brushed. :luv:
Val
-
Meg really is very beautiful :luv: Daisy has long lashes too, and I love them. Glad the new food is going down so well! Good luck with the grooming session, looking forward to an update on that. Definitely getting very brave, and that is a huge step for her. Well done all of you. xx
-
:luv: :luv: :luv: what a long way Megs has come, she is looking beautiful, what a tribute to all the time and love you gave given her, she is a lucky girl
-
Really chuffed Meg's ate 6 cubes of raw this morning and a
large bowl of chicken tonight :cool4: :cool4: :banana:
-
Brilliant, seem that going raw is the way to go for Meg :luv: my two love their raw meals I hope Meg continues to enjoy her new tasty meals ;)
Stephanie, George and Hamish xxx
-
wouldn't touch raw this morning :huh:
see what tonight brings.
-
Hello everyone,
It's ME Meg's :banana:
This is my first Christmas with Honey, Mum & Dad
and I am so looking forward to Friday I have seen so many
funny shaped things wrapped up
Mum said to Honey we are not having a Christmas Tree,
(so they are in the corner of the room)
this year because it may frighten me I do still get scared of
things I don't know. But I am getting a lot braver now
when we have people come Mum sit me on her lap at the
table so the people can rest their hands on the table so I can
sniff them then I have let them stroke me also. Mum then
puts me in my basket by the chair and tells me to stay there
while everyone sits and chats, several times I have tried to
slip away but Mum said " No Meg, Stay you are safe"
I do too....I am very obedient little girl. :lol2: :lol2:
well sometimes :shades: Dad says to Mum let her go when I try to
slip away but Mum says No I must learn to do as she says because
one day it might just save my life by doing as I am told.
Don't know what she means...but I do love her. and Dad
especially in the morning when he lifts me up onto the bed and
I cuddle him.
Well I off now to see what Honey is doing downstairs think she
is eating some biscuits ;)
hope you all have a lovely Christmas with lots to eat and drink
Mum says humans have different stuff than water like us
anyway heard Mum & Dad say this Bottom's Up. :011: to you all
lots of :luv: :luv:
Meg's xx
-
Hell darling Meg's - you are such a special little girl and it is wonderful to know you are spending your first Christmas with big sister Honey and Mum and Dad.
They have loved you since they brought you home and all of us here have grown to love you too.
Have a very special first Christmas. :luv:
Love Julie and Ollie
-
Well done everyone, such fantastic progress. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas x

Have a lovely lovely Christmas and a very happy 2016 :luv: :luv:

Have a lovely Christmas all. :luv:

Hi everyone
A Happy New Year from Megs to all her friends,
She wants to let you all know she had a lovely Christmas with
Honey and shared all the festive goodies with her.
Yesterday I thought we would have a groom time as her
coat was getting quite long and curly, she was so good letting
me groom and trim her feet that I thought I would try and
and put on her lead and walk her in the garden, No go she was
back to square one :-\ ended up weeing and shaking I left her lead on
as she ran around the house keeping a close eye on her so she
didn't get caught up anywhere, since then she has just wee all
over the place. it seems to have really upset and worried her
I feel so upset now by doing that , as I'm sure she thinks she is going
to be taken away from her home and us it must be so awful to be that
frightened. :'( :'( we love her so much. there is no fear of us ever letting her go,but
Not sure what to do next, she obviously associates the lead with
being taken away or unpleasent things.
Do I keep putting on her lead and let her wander around with it?
even if she wees everywhere, must admit I
have now become a expert carpet cleaner, ph34r
any advice how to get her over this.
Otherwise she is doing so well apart from being a picky eater,
Val
-
bless her heart, she must have some serious baggage.
just an idea, how about tying a short piece of cord to her collar and leave it on. then slowly over time keep lengthen it.
-
Thanks Min,
She is just so adoable, :luv: at the present time she is curled up asleep by me
as I post this, she has so many cute habits we have come to love, I know the weather is
against us now with her training as she is scared of the wind, any sudden noises and not so
fond of the rain :shades: she stands for ages on the doorstep with her nose poking out sniffing the air
before venturing outside. with all our heating sailing out of the door,
EDF must be so pleased :shades: strange because during the summer we had a job keeping her in not sure if it's because
it's dark now
I did try on her harness we bought when we
first had her, no good, boy has she grown will have to get the tape measure
out and try and buy another one to fit her wonder if that might help ?
Val
-
Could you show her the lead and then treat her and then put the lead closer and treat. Keep doing that so she knows that nice things happen when the lead is near her etc?
-
Poor wee love, sad that such a 'normal' thing scares her so much. Maybe leave the lead just lying around, in amongst toys, and treat when she is near it. This could be a long process, but if anyone can sort it you lovely people can. X
-
Thanks everyone for your help and hints, I have sorted out a
number of leads and put them about the rooms hope this
may ease her mind, and thinking back over the time she has had to have a
lead on, she has always had something that frightened her.
like the first time we went to collect her from M.T. she had a harness
and collar & 2 leads put on,and off with people she didn't know
she was just so petrified and then the trip to the vets a few days
after we got her to have her stitches out, sheer panic and when I tried to get
her out side the front door. Panic again. Tonight our son and his wife called and I sat her on
my lap while they chatted to us for an hour or so. she was not really scared just
very wary of them, so slowly she is coming around but it doesen't take much
to make her bolt for her den behind the chair. Right now she is asleep by my side
as I post she is my little shadow :luv: I hope these ROTTEN people who have done this
to her pay for it. >:( >:( won't say on here what I would like to call them.
but you all know the word instead of rotten
I keep telling myself it's only 9 months since we fetched her home
but boy she has filled our home with love and is a great joy to love
-
Bought a soft harness from P at Home this morning and
popped it on her with a lead she sat at my feet while I fussed her,
not to scared but I didn't attempt to walk her, after 10 minutes I
took it off and laid it and lead by her cubby hole so she had to walk right by
it, sniffed it then seemed not to fussed by it.
tomorrow will do the same again only this time morning and night.
-
Excellent, slow but sure :luv:
-
Hi Megs & mum, not really advice but just to tell you of my mum's experience with her little ex breeding westie Pops and the dreaded lead. It's now nearly 3 yrs that my mum got her girl and what a sorry frightened little girl.she was. Terrified of the lead and would freeze if she even saw one. Like you she put it on for a quick minute a few times a day and slowly slowly she got used to it and didn't mind the lead for short bursts. Now she will walk for ten minutes or so only if her canine sister is following. She will probably never love the lead but she's comfortable with it as it takes her to nice places. God only knows what she went through but I believe in Karma >:D

Hi Assumpta, thanks for this. Have missed doing it today as with Honey at the vets it's thrown everything out and
Meg is a bit upset think she knows that somethings amiss so decided one day won't make
a big difference she keeps standing by Honey. :luv: to see how she has bonded with her. keeps sniffing Honey's face. :luv:
-
Megs is doing so well and loves her big sister. I should add its taken nearly 2 yrs to get Pops to this so a day or so missed won't make much difference. Love Megs updates
-
Hallo Megs mum. My Jessie who I have had for 2.6years is just like Megs. I can hardly ever get her out for a walk. If I do she circles my feet terrified . Once I turn to come home she pulls and pulls to get home. It does not help even with Maggie with her. Sometimes in the house she runs away from me and won't come to me. The only time she will sit on my lap is when we go and stay with my daughter. What these awful people do to these poor dogs is terrible. I love Megs diary.

I know just what you mean it's heartbreaking to see them so frightened, but in some ways it makes
them that little bit special, In my heart I know my Holly must have known about Meg's and left us so we
could adopt her. I look at her right now lying asleep at my feet as I post, and think what lovely things she does
like when we wake up she stands up by my side of the bed and licks and kisses me her little tail going
forty to the dozen and when we been out she races around the room in sheer delight that her family are
back home, and if I go up stairs I only have to say "coming upstairs Meg's?" and she beats me up there.
there are so many moments like this that makes loving her so easy and wonderful.
We love our little girl so much and when I look on Many Tears site it breaks my heart to see so many
there waiting for a family to love them and show them what HOME and LOVE means and I do
hope 2016 brings that to them.

Hi everyone, Meg's here again. :-*
sorry it's been a long time
just to let you all know that I am feeling a lot happier, and
Mum & Dad are very pleased with me, I am enjoying
my life much more now and I make them laugh when I
race around the house barking and playing with my toys, I have settled into a routine too,
I wake Mum up around 5 am by standing by her side of the bed ( I have my bed by her )and then
she gives me lots of kisses and cuddles, then we then go down stairs so
I can have a little wee on my mat, because I'm still to scared to go out on my own
at that time of the morning as it's dark and Honey won't come down to go out with me,
then I race back up stairs I always beat mum back into the bedroom :005: then
she gives us both a couple of gravy bones and we all go back to sleep
until I creep around to Dad about 6.30 and then he picks me up and puts me on to the bed and I give him lots of cocker kisses
and then snuggle down on my back between them and have lots of belly rubs :003: I :luv: those makes me feel good
Mum got me some raw food to try but I really don't like it, looks like Honey will have to eat it, she eats anything.
she's got a new name Dyson because she hoovers up what I won't eat. :lol2: :lol2:
Had some sardines for my dinner today..not to sure if I liked them yet, mum said they are good for me
and help me get a nice coat, mind you I have a lovely wavy thick coat which I enjoy mum brushing and
combing me with a thing called a KingCoat. had my nails trimmed to, mum was scared to do this at first
but had to because I am scared to go out still and they are growing long. she didn't hurt me at all so
I am going to let her do them again with those funny clippers things.
Mum said she wants me to be very good so she can get a lots of new photos of me jumping and playing so she can post them,
but I keep playing hard to get ph34r :lol2: :lol2: when I see the camera come out.
well I must go now as I can smell the chicken being cooked someone has opened the oven door.smells good
you see I am getting the hang of living in a home :005: good food ( lots of different types for me to try)
cuddles, kisses and a warm bed by my mum at night :luv: I keep telling them they are very lucky to
have me ( and Honey ) to spoil ;)
see you all soon
:luv: you all
Meg's :-*

Hi everyone it's the Birthday Girl herself here ;) Meg's
well Mum told me this morning it was, and they both sang
Happy Birthday to me and Honey just barked, think it was
for her breakfast really. :005: she likes her food. :lol2:
it,s been a while since I chatted to you all but I have been getting
a little less scared about some things.but I afraid I'm
still frightened of people I don't know. I know everyone comes in
through the front door so I stand and keep watch on it all the time.
Mum keeps telling me that it's nice outside and I would love it
if I was brave and went out, still she said she won't force me to
go just yet, I have a lot of fun in the mornings when we wake up,
I get Mum up at 5 am each morning by standing up by the side of the
bed and kissing her she then takes me downstairs so I can have a wee
and then I like to stand up on my back legs so she can give me cuddles
then I beat her back upstairs and into my bed we get a couple of
lovely gravy bones and it's back to sleep for a couple of hours.
then I wake Dad up by barking at him he then lifts me up onto
the bed and I kiss and tell him I love him, then I roll over on my
back between them and I have lots of tummy rubs...... :003: :003: :003:
love them and when Dad's got up I have a rough and tumble on the bed with
Mum before we get up
Mum has let me try lots of different foods because I am a fussy eater.
so now I have cooked chicken, ham and Aldi's tin dog meat. lots of
treats can manage them no trouble at all ;) cheese, toast only if it's Mum's
Tried some food called raw didn't like that (mum's gots stacks in the freezer) :005:
Honey like it, mind you she will eat anything She's got a new name Dyson
because she hoover's everything up. she has had all the stuff I didn't like
trouble was she was getting to big (won't say fat) :o so she has gone
back onto Burns which she loves and it keeps her slim.
Mum & Dad went out this morning and came back with a new toy for
my Birthday a blue elephant it's got big ears and trunk so lots for me to grab
hold and toss him around. been promised 2 yes 2 chicken breast for my
tea tonight ...........
well I have to go now as I spotted Mum putting on her gardening gloves
so I am going to help her move some plants she doesn't know about
that yet ;)
:luv: to you all
Meg's xxxxxxxxx

Hi
Just to let you all know how our little girl Meg is doing,
as you can see she loves the garden when the sun is out not to sure
about it when it wet ;)
she is making some progress in doors but still to frightened to
go out as yet, in the house she is a lot braver and bossy too :005:
poor Dad gets barked at every time he stands up :005: he says he knows
how the chap in the TV prog Keeping up Appearances feels now when Mrs Bucket starts
singing at him. :lol2: :lol2:
I can't believe she has been with us over a year now and wound herself around our hearts
just longing for the day when she makes it out side for a walk,
I know it's a way off yet though we still have long way to go.
-
She looks beautiful :luv: :luv:
Lesley and Dylan
-
I love hearing your updates. She has come along so very much with your kindness and patience.
-
Meg you have grown into a beautiful young girly xxxxx
-
Megan you are beautiful. Glad she is getting braver at home. Jessie knows how you feel she rarely goes out for a walk just wants to be at home.
-
She's beautiful :luv: :luv:
-
Megs you look so adorable, you are a very special little girl :luv:
Julie and Ollie
-
Love reading updates on Megan, such a gorgeous girl :luv:

So beautiful!,you're doing a wonderful job!

Megan, you are so beautiful, and doing so well. Keep going sweetheart, you are very brave. xx

Hi everyone,
Just a quick update to let you all know how Meg is doing,
She is a lot braver now, we seemed to have turned the corner.
but had for the last few days suffered with very loose running movements,
and on Friday morning she was not our Meg, just crept behind her chair,
I dreaded the thought of taking her to the vets after the last time, she had still not
got passed the front door.( she eyes it very time she passes it) so I took her out the side
gate and she started to struggle but got her into the car. well padded in a heavy dog
blanket,( remembered all the poo's from the time before) sadly it didn't stop the wee
by the time we got to the vets I was soaked through. We sat in the car until our appointment
so we could go straight in, must say the vet (locum) was an older gentleman who listened
to me explaining why Meg's is so afraid. he was so good with her and she was so well
behaved I was SO PROUD of her, it seemed as she had a infection and a bit of colic,
bless her she even stood on the scales in the surgery waiting room with no panic.
another corner turned, yesterday she is back to her self bright eyed and full of cocker
fun.
I now think it's time to get her some help from a behaviourist, as she has started to understand
that she is not going from her home, so in some ways the trip to the vets was a blessing.

It's so good when the Vet you see is
gentle and kind...I hope tummy troubles
clear up fine :D
sending you and the sweet Megs lots of
wuvs :luv:
-
Sometimes it is the little setbacks in life - i.e. the infection, that open the door for the way forward, so lets hope this is a turning point for little Megs and that now, with a little help, she'll learn that the world out there isn't so scary after all. You have incredible patience, she's such a lucky little lady to have found you and I really hope you can all start to enjoy the great outdoors together before too long! All the best and sending lots of :bigarmhug: to Megan!!

I learned a lot about dogs from here:
http://www.dogidog.co.uk/
This is a very nice person and you would get along.
-
How is Megs now has the colic improved bless her.
I am so glad that she is coming along - what a big step going to the vets was.
Hugs to them both Julie
-
Well done Megs, you've come such a long way :luv: :luv:
-
I'm glad to say Meg's tummy is now lots better,
she is bobbing about as normal thank goodness,
you don't realise just how much you miss their presence
until they are poorly and take to their beds.
Meg has developed into a huggable, loving little babe.
and quite a mummy's girl. just like Holly was.(bet Holly put her up to this)
had to smile last night, hubby went out into the kitchen
with Honey to put her eye drops in, and Meg's heard him in the lounge say to
Honey "here's a sweetie" Boy I have never seen a dog move so fast
as Meg did that FAST COCKER walk, not a run, but legs going like pistons
made me think of our late Taffy and Holly who did the same, Misty, Merlin
never did this. strange how some develop it.
Thanks Alan T for the info on dogidog she sounds so nice but sadly she is out of our area, so going to
have our vets behaviourist who I know well to see if we can now move forward. can't wait
for Meg to see how much she has been missing, still I think it will be a while yet before that day arrives.
will be shouting on here that day
cheers all

Hi Everyone it's me Megan,
It's been a long time since I popped in to chat to you all,
I can't believe it will be my second Christmas here this year, I am going to enjoy it a lot more
this time around. I am a lot happier now and race around my home and garden, still not keen on going
out the front door yet, but Mum said no worries when I am ready Mum got a lady from the vets to come and see and talk to me about my fears,
she was nice But I kept my distance ;) I had to have my harness put on and be led around I was
so good walking with Mum though :D since that day I have got a lot braver (still hide behind the seat ) :shades:
when people call, but my favorite trick is jumping up the back of Dad's legs,( and Mum's)when he is
standing in the kitchen he laughs and makes a fuss of me. Honey has got bad eyes and she
has to have her eyes done every morning and night and she gets a treat for being good :angel: each time.
I stand and bark at Dad until I get a treat also, Honey gets the drops and I get a treat for just being there. ;)
sometimes Dad sneaks Honey out into the kitchen while i'm asleep in my basket behind the chair,
I have them though, ;) they think I don't know the >:D but I still beat them and waiting for my treat :lol2: :lol2:
got it off to a T now :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:
I have a lovely time first thing in the morning when I wake up Mum lifts me onto the bed and we have lots
of cuddles and cocker kisses , then it's race down stairs for breakfast run a round like a mad thing and then snooze
for a while, (unless I see Mum out in the kitchen then Honey and I join her, for any thing that might be droped when she
is cooking, Honey is called Dyson for a reason :005: I'm called little Hoover ;)
well it saves Mum having to get the dustpan and brush out we do a far better job. :lol2: :lol2:
Well must go now as I can hear our bowls being moved,
see you all soon.
lots of :luv: :luv:
Megan

Hi Megs. So pleased to hear you are coming on in leaps and sneaks :005: Can not believe this will be your 2nd Christmas. Time really flies. Do not fret about that big bad front door. One day in your own time you will discover that through it is the most magnificent world of smells, water and muck just waiting for you
love Gemma :bigarmhug:
-
Hello Megs, nice to hear from you, so glad that you're being such a brave girl and walking so nicely with Mum and hope that one day you'll be able to go through that door with your beautiful big sister and have lots of fun outside. You really are a gorgeous girl you know, you look a bit like my Humphrey and there are lots of nice people out there who are also going to be amazed when you two step outside together and dazzle them all!! Have a lovely Christmas sweetheart, you're such a little soldier!
-
Megs I am cheeky too cause I asked how you are - in the hope I would get to see some new pictures of you and your big sister and get you little news update :clapping: :clapping:
Your pictures are lovely, I cannot believe how much you have grown, it must be difficult to catch any bits with Honey being called Dyson, my Mums just bought a new one which I love to chase when she is using the long hose thing. But there's only me so I get all the treats, even went to my Nana with Dad yesterday and had a whole sausage she cooked at breakfast and saved just for me. :005:
It's good to know you are learning some new tricks, you have to keep them on their toes.
Enjoy your second Christmas hope you and Honey get lots of presents....Mum says I will if I'm good :005:
Love Ollie
-
Lovely to hear from you Megs :luv: You and Honey look very pretty and very happy. You have done an amazing job of training your people :005: and if you fancy going through the big front door some day then great, but hey, if not you are happy and loved. Xx
-
:luv: :luv: well done Megs, you've come come on in leaps and bounds so don't worry about that big front door. :luv:
-
Lovely to hear from you Megan, you are doing so well, and wrapping your people around your paw :005: hope you get lots of lovely presents under the tree.
Love from Dylan (and Lesley)

and seeing her now.
