Piper from Many Tears - Our New Baby

[PatAndPaul]

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!

Well done Pat & Paul and Lilly the Newfie   on rescuing the gorgeous Piper  

I too have an ex MT breeding cocker, Bella   to add to all the usual bad condition that MT find them in Bella is also blind and was very shut down when we got her   But she has been with us a year and a half now and she has come on in leaps and bounds....they are very rewarding  

With regard to toilet training we found putting Bella out every couple of hours worked, she soon got into the routine and now when you tell her to have a wee she will, same as my other dogs.

Looking forward to some Piper pics but one of Lilly would be good too .....I looooove Newfies

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yay for you and Piper 
We have Lara from MT's and she is the best girl ever!!  It is so rewarding to watch them develop into real dogs, and their personality starts to shine through.  Well done you    Toilet training is lots of trips out to the garden and be prepared to hang around a lot!!!  Your exisiting dog will help a lot, it amazed me how much Lara picked up from our two.  Naughty habits first of course    To be honest, it was just a time thing, and even now, Lara doesn't really ask to go out, her indication is very subtle, so we still tend to make sure she is outside regularly.  Looking forward to hearing how Piper gets on and some piccies would be lovely please

Great news about little Piper and she is a lucky girl to have found her forever home with you.

I think there is a thread on the photo board about posting pictures.
