Title: Nelly Comes Home
Post by: cindere528 on October 22, 2005, 04:06:18 PM: Well, I got there safely after thinking I'd got horrendously lost on the outskirts of Bristol. I phoned Rosemary & it turned out I was on the right road and only about 5 minutes away from her house.

I loved Nelly as soon as I saw her, she's absolutely beautiful and so very gentle. I took some treats in my pocket, so she very quickly decided that I was quite a nice person. I then took Dillon in to meet her & he promptly peed up my leg :( & left a huge puddle on Rosemary's kitchen floor. He then went in her living room & did a huge poo :o He certainly knows how to win friends & influence people. After Dillon did a poo, Nelly weed on the living room floor :rolleyes: I suppose she just wanted to join in the fun. Fortunately, Rosemary wasn't fazed by any of this behaviour, she's seen it all before :laugh:

Anyway, here are a few pictures:

Are we there yet?

To make my day complete, when I got home, Nelly's new collar & lead had arrived from TRPD, so she's now wearing it. This picture shows her collar off, it's a gold Navajo design & suits her perfectly :wub:

Post by: cindere528 on October 23, 2005, 02:10:38 PM: We had an early night last night after our long trip yesterday. Nelly wasn't too impressed with the nice clean dog bed on the floor, so she joined Dillon on my bed. It took a while to get them both settled because they were playing "who can get closest to mummy?", a game which didn't impress me too much :lol: I ended up going to sleep on my back with one arm around each dog. Not the most comfortable position to sleep, but I needed sleep very badly so I gave in :lol:

As promised here are a few more pics of little lady Nelly :love:

Dinner last night - what a messy eater!

Post by: cindere528 on October 26, 2005, 09:31:52 PM: Nelly has been settling in really well & has become very much one of the family. Tonight though we have had a huge breakthrough - Nelly just barked! Now that in itself may not sound remarkable but apparently Nelly was beaten in her last home for barking/growling, so she learned to remain silent :( . From Saturday until just a few minutes ago, I never heard a sound from her (except her snoring :lol: ) but she just actually barked!!! I guess she's feeling well & truly relaxed in my family now :wub:

Welcome home Nelly, they both look really happy :D
Title: Nelly Comes Home
Post by: cindere528 on October 28, 2005, 09:56:37 PM: Today Nelly has done more barking :) . We were out on our walk & we saw some Jack Russells coming through one of the stiles so we had to wait until they & their owners were through. Those of you who have met Dillon can imagine the noise he was making when he saw the JRs! Anyway, Nelly decided that it would be a good idea to join in. I was trying to get Dillon to calm down & be quiet whilst at the same time telling Nelly she was a good girl. Inconsistent - moi? :lol: :lol: Incidentally, I knew the JRs' owners, so they were OK about all the noise :)
