What a sweet little darling this lady is!!! She is a tiny Westie and has mixed in with my lot with no fuss or stress. She is fine with Lucie, my ntwo cats and my two rabbits. She had a little sniff of all of them but didn't show any excitement or agression to any (i don't think she has an aggressive bone in her body!!!) She likes a lot of fuss when you are home but is happy to be left also. She doesn't seem to want to/understand how to play and looked mystifed when Lucie kept getting her to play last night Laughing

Shows no interest in any toys or anything but quite likes her food Laughing

She gets quite excited when she goes out (but doesn't bark or anything, just gets more 'waggy') She doesn't really pull on the lead and happily trots along at your feet whenover the park. She happily let a young girl stroke her over the park tonight. She is housetrained and does her 'business' as soon as she gets to the park. She doesn't have the sweetest breath Laughing

and seems to scratch a bit but maybe her change in diet will sort both out?? She is very well behaved and a complete darling, you would struggle to meet a more placid and gentle dog.

Pictures to follow!!!!

She sounds wonderful - how is your supply of biscuits and liver cake Laughing

Sounds like she has landed in the perfect transit lounge Wink

Holly is going to meet a family on Saturday!

She isn't at all prickly, the only time i have heard her bark is when a dog got a bit too interested in her lady bits. She only gave one small bark to tell him off and was back to her happy self straight after!

Her itchyness does seem to be getting slightly worse and she has started doing a funny sneeze/cough/wheeze every now and again. It doesn't sound like kennel cough or anything and doesn't seem to distress her. I am hoping both is down to the toxins and aditives from her previous diet coming out of her system. She is booked in with the vet on Monday but i will keep a close eye on her and take her before then if she needs it.

She is still a very happy dog and seems to have found her feet a bit now. She is no longer desparate for attention and will lay down in the same room as you without the need to be sitting on your lap (she has even gone to sleep in a different room a couple of times!!) She is definitely more lively and even chased one of my rabbits a bit yesterday! (i don't think she meant any harm, she was just copying Lucie playing with one of my cats!). She LOVES dinner time and going out and gets beside herself at both!! She HATES the rain and looks at us like we are the most evil people in the world when we make her go out in it! Laughing

Holly met a lovely family today and all went well!!!! Their dog liked her and they got on well (they had a few growls but nothing serious). She is being spayed and microchipped on Monday so should go as soon as she is feeling well enough Very Happy
