Well, its 8 months since Poppy (Watcha) arrived here, and she has developed into a (mostly) very happy little girl. Sadly, a happy girl, but with problems. As long as everything in her day is as she expects it to be, all is well. However as others with these shut down dogs know, any little thing is likely to turn her into a confused mess. As long as I am here, she clings to me and all is well quite quickly - and I love her! My husband also loves her, but she doesn't seem to be able to completely trust him. Some man in her past may have caused this
She is pretty much integrated into our home life, her eye is amazing she has had two visits to the hairdresser and looks stunning. Black, shiny, slinky, coat. She has a new very soft harness which I put on her occasionally for her to get used to the feel. (she promptly runs to her bed and sleeps in it, 'till I take it off- I did try feeding her in it, but she actually refused food!!) So going for a little walk is still months away. Such a pity, as she had sooo much energy and bounce. If anyone has any ideas as to how to fill her mind I would be so happy to learn. She doesn't understand toys, unless they involve food, but too much of that upsets her tummy! Her only hobby is collecting my socks!! Still no photos Im afraid, I cant produce anything on my 'phone except a black blob. Have asked for a camera for Xmas.....
