You are doing a great job with her

Yesterday we picked up Piper from Mary P. Piper was ex breeding cocker, with quite a sad story with the way she was being treated.
She has appeared to be extremely sweet, loving and most grateful girl ever. I can't believe how quickly she has settled in with us and how happy she appears to be! We have a Newfoundland girl and 2 ragdoll cats and all seen to get on so well! I gave her a bath this morning and she was ever so good with it, she looks beautiful!
We went shopping today, got her new bed, new collar, plenty of dog shampoos and grooming stuff, and a Royal Canin food, which I know is good as Lilly (newfie) has been on it for years. She is a real tail wagger;), she appears to be very well behaved. She follows me everywhere in the house. She loves walking and being outside generally. Today she has been snoozing with Paul on the sofa, snoring louder than he was! Loving her already and I can't believe how well she's settled in over space of a day! Only problem still is house training, she did wee at night, even when I took her out before sleep time. I know it will take time to teach her toilet behaviour. I kind of hope she will copy Lilly at some point. Any advice reference toilet training would be appreciated.
Thank you Many Tears and Mery P!

Bit confused... I started the thread, by copying from MT site. I didn't foster her, so you must have picked up from another Mary P??

Just to add... I've had 4 dogs from MT, 3 of them ex breeders. You sometimes get a 'honeymoon' period, where they are just grateful to be with you, with their not so endearing little habits occurring later. Don't worry if your perfect little girl gets less perfect for a while! She'll come back round.

Hi there, yes it was Sharon I collected Piper from, but her Cockers nick name is Mary P xx

Just seen this - I'm happy to hear the Mary P explanation!

Hi Everyone, small update on Piper. It's been a week since we've had Piper! We took her and Lilly for a walk yesterday, and she was walking beautifully without the leash! No problems whatsoever. Have a look on some pics and video. She loved loved the snow and proper walkies with her mommy and daddy! We are so happy to have her as she is bringing in so much to our life!

Such lovely dogs and very happy Mum & Dad by the look of things 

We have deep snow like you, but the dogs love it don't they!

Where are you based? We are in Oakham, Rutland.

John just replied to you via messages:) They both loved the snow, and Lilly was just created for the snow with her thick coat! They both got back full off snow around their leg fur (it sort of stuck to it and they ended up having those balls of snow attached to them that made it look as if they were cartoon poodles, plus they both struggled to walk because of it at the end of the walk, it was so funny to watch) and I ended up bathing them, Piper took me 30 mins with drying etc. Lilly 1.5 hrs (!), but they are both lovely fluffy looking doggies again

And a nightmare dog to clean:

Piper's tail  Lovely to see it constantly wagging    She has settled in so well with you, and is coming on a treat.  Lili is stunning, but my goodness that is quite a job getting her bathed  There must be water everywhere when she shakes    Stunning girlie, you just want to give her a big cuddle, she looks so soft and snuggly.  Great video clip, lovely to see.

These post make me so happy so pleased she has come to stay and will have fun, love and happiness with you and your furry family

[Holly Berry]

So pleased she has settled in so well. She has certainly fallen on her paws with you

After a long and pretty busy day this thread made me glow happy inside 

 

[Sharpie]

What a lovely story with a very happy ending

Loving your Newfie in the bath!

We have 2 MT ex breeding cockers and I can honestly say that they are wonderful!  So rewarding, so much fun and we adore them (even when they are being naughty which is quite often!).  You girl looks so happy - congratulations!
