I am bumping up my gorgeous foster girl since she has slipped to page 2.
Kilty has been with me 3 weeks now and has made great progress. She is 100% housetrained and can happily be left for 3-4 hours with no problems. Walks fine on the lead - still getting used to all the new sounds and smells when out.
When she first arrived she was rather choosy which dogs she liked. She grumbled everytime Misty (my 7 month old pup) bounded near her and snapped at her the 2nd day here. She also took an instant dislike to Kinda (who is definately not a bouncy in your face dog) and grumbled showing teeth every time she passed.
She never had a problem with Poppy. But after patience, time and love that has all changed.
She enjoys cuddling up to Kinda now and doesn't grumble at her anymore. I can leave them in the same room with no problems. She will also share a bed with Misty but will grumble at her when Misty wants to hang off her ears! So Kilty would prefer not to go to a home with a puppy! Kilty is fine with other dogs who visit.
She loves humans to bits. Tail never stops wagging and thumping off of doors, walls, floors etc! She is fine with children - just finds a quieter corner when it gets too noisy. So she could go as an only dog if someone is around a lot of the time.
She now takes treats gently instead of grabbing your fingers!
Eats next to all the other dogs with no problems.
Loves to be brushed. It has taken me 3 weeks to get all her matted hair sorted and I never had one grumble from her.
She may have arrived as a little madam but she certainly is not anymore.
Her tumours are not visble to look at but you can feel them. She is not in any pain and not on any medication at the moment. The vet feels she should have 3 years (maybe less, maybe more). When she starts to suffer she will need pain relief and her new owner will have to be prepared to do the kindest thing for Kilty. It is a big ask for someone to take on a rescue dog knowing all of this but please consider her as she is worth it. She is a pleasure to have.
Pictures to show just how loving she is.
With Misty!
And a little video to show her waggy tail!
