New family for rescue girl

[poppies]

Lottie looks beautiful, so glad you have found each other, may you have many happy years together.
Try putting a small amount of cooked chicken in with her kibble, or you could try another brand of dry food.
I find Arden grange very good.

Lottie looks lovely. My boy is nearly 10 and has a small amount on Naturediet in with his food or else he won't touch it. I divide 1 pack into 9 then wrap in foil and freeze it, just use 1 cube a day divided into his 3 meals. He also has omega 3 capsules for his skin and coat.
Just give her time, I've had rescue dogs in the past and they're worth it.

Thankyou both. The last few days I've added whatever meat/fish/rice we had for our meal to her bowl with a little kibble and a little bit of pedigree 'gravy' and she has eaten it. In fact today she ate 2 half meals so she's improving. I will try the Naturediet though as I'd rather get rid of the pedigree stuff and the vet said she doesn't need to be on soft food anymore.

Lottie has settled in so quickly you have done so well, you should be very proud of yourself.  Lara loved her Naturediet, it is a good quality food and she did really well on it.  I will say that the quantities recommended are pretty generous, so trust your own and Lottie's judgement as to how much she needs. 

[Lottielove]

Thankyou. Lottie definitely doesn't need large quantities of food, even without her lack of appetite she's a slight little thing. I've lost count now of then number of people who've asked if she's a puppy.

What it must be like to look younger than your years

Lottie had her 2nd vaccination at the vets yesterday and she has put on weight, she's now 8.3 kg. I don't know how she's managed it but she must be eating more than she ate before anyway. As her foster carer had 4 other dogs perhaps she wasn't getting as much food as was thought. She's still as fussy as ever about food but Marks & Spencer was her friend this morning with lots of cooked chicken drastically reduced and now in the freezer! She's getting into our routine now and tells me when it's time to go and pick up my daughter from school and then my son from the bus stop. She has been introduced to the house rabbits who gave her a sniff and then lay down nearby. Lottie bless her was so nervous she had to sit on my lap.
She's definitely finding her voice, as the postman will testify.
Lottie says Merry Christmas

Bless her heart 

So glad she is settling in and growing in confidence.

Sure this will be her best Christmas ever - Happy Christmas sweetie

lottie looks lovely,
 I'm sure she will settle in quickly,
not sure if they are just in my area but  i took my two to my local Jollyes pet store for puppy training classes, there were also older dogs in the group,  it was a 6 week course and cost about £30 per dog which was much cheaper than others i found ,the trainer was qualified but it was more of a social gathering and repetitive training at home... you can also get training DVDs and books.....
