A further installment on the adventures of Lil' Orphant Annie since she came to us from Many Tears.
As readers of my previous posts will know, she was frightened of men and had never walked on a lead. The upshot of this was that initially if I or any man was around when she went out for a walk she would just lie down. We moved forward to her having me with her on the walk and then last Sunday she went out with me and Buster but no female chaperon and me holding the lead!
I was really proud of her. We went a three and a half mile walk up some quite steep hills and she set the pace all the way. Watching her from the other end of her long lead it was just like watching a little teddy bear marching along, so now she's The Bionic Teddy!
She has been onto the moor, up to her armpits in a peat bog and been splattered with mud. I think she is getting the idea what fun is...
She is still just under 10kg and a bit bony but she is having plenty to eat and exercise. The vet says she is fine - she is just a pocket cocker.

Bustletrot - love it! That's exactly what they do. All busy and determined.
Another lovely update on Annie the Bionic Teddy. I can really see her through your words, sodpot200, keep them coming.

Well done little Annie, its so heartwarming to hear how she's progressing!

Lovely to hear she is coming on In leaps and bounds :luv:. She is a nice handy size for cuddles too - at 16 kg Dylan is like cuddling a pony :005:

As the owner of a leggy chunker, I agree, that's EXACTLY what it's like!

These updates are so good to hear, as Alan said the odd picture would be nice so we can see the beautiful girl grow into the fantastic dog she is.
-
I will try and do a photo once I have set up Photobucket. Doesn't seem to work from Flickr.
Anyway... Very proud of the little one. She came to the village Gala on Saturday and competed in the fun dog show. Lots of people and other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She coped brilliantly and paraded round the ring like a good 'un. No prizes this time but to our minds going and taking part less than 3 months out of a puppy farm makes her a winner.
Buster however, won first prize in the waggiest tail competition and walked home with a big red rosette pinned to his harness. The big flag of a tail that he gets from the cavvy side of his family gave him something of an advantage!

Brilliant news, what a difference time and love make, a big pat on the back to you all xx
