Had the pleasure of transporting Tara to Farnham Kennels yesterday. She is so pretty nothing like the above pictures. Ran out of camera battery so didn't manage pics but she is small like Becky and Phoebe. Leads are about play apparently but there she is young and so keen to have fun!

Tara is a little sweetie - small and compact and very easy to walk. She sits and gives paw and seems generally very gentle, affectionate and playful.
We didn't meet anybody on our walk, but she did seem a bit concerned when we heard some children shouting and people talking.
I will take some photos on our next walk - she has such a soft, pretty face in the flesh. Just makes you want to squeeze her Embarassed

My 12 year old daughter walked Tara without any problem today - apart from when Tara went one way round a tree, Victoria went the other then Tara decided to "solve" the problem by running round the tree again to get to Victoria for a cuddle and they were both then stuck in a tangle of lead, tree and cuddles!! Laughing

She was an absolute sweetie all the way round, happy to walk but very quick to come back and sit just in case a treat was on offer! We didn't meet or hear anyone, so nothing to add on that front.....

Tara is an affectionate little bundle of fun and energy. I didn't stop smiling all the time we were walking. She trots along, looking back every couple of minutes, investigating everything around her - and yes, we got caught around a tree with her a few times too.
There was an army exercise in the woods today, so a lot of noise, but Tara got used to it very quickly. We also walked near a road and she didn't take any notice of the traffic.
We met Jojo with Sam on our walk and they were fine with each other - I think Jojo was keen to get on with his walk though!
Tara is so small and cute - perfect lap size Laughing

Had another lovely walk with Tara today. We played ball for ages - well until I was worn out anyway. I tried to get some photos of her playing with the ball, but I wasn't quick enough.
In the original information about Tara it said she could be a bit funny when it came to females, but today on our walk we met Suzi (not our Suzi)small terrier who is sometimes muzzled (but not today) and they were fine together.
I hope these photos show just how pretty (and tiny) she really is Smile

Poor little Tara has developed a bit of a cough and we are trying to keep her as quiet as possible - not an easy task Rolling Eyes

She will need a few more days rest then hopefully will be much better. I do really feel for her, at this time of year particularly, it is not nice being poorly in kennels. Crying or Very sad

Poor little Tara is now on antibiotics. She had boiled eggs for tea with her tablet so hopefully she will be on the mend soon. It is always so sad to see the very little ones poorly in kennels. She spent some time on my lap today and then I tucked her up in her bed for the night Crying or Very sad

I really hope she feels better soon, she looks so small and vulnerable Crying or Very sad

Tara is spending the weekend with me. She is a sweet dog and has obviously been trained at some time. She knows sit, paw, no and off. I banned her from my study to start with because of Hektor my hamster but I decided to let her come in as I wanted to put her pictures on the site. She took one look at the hamster cage which is at dog level (my JRTX had her own hamster). I said: "No, we don't look at Hektors do we!?" and she came away. She is currently curled up on my armchair in my study; this was the deal I made with her.

It's very strange to go from an elderly JRTX to a lively staffie but this little girl is sweet natured and quick. I've just showed her how to play Findit! with bits of her dried food (I hope I'm not in serious trouble for that) and she is very happy to sit and give her paw. She does that nicely. She takes things offered her very gently. She came with me to help me make my bed but jumped off when I said 'Off!' She's been saying things to me but they are all good natured things. Someone is going to get a little sweetie here.

Here is a test shot in my conservatory. This room is full of cactus so I introduced her in there very carefully, saying No! when she went to the window sill. So far, I've found that one No! is enough. She doesn't try it on again. I'm impressed!

Nose is a bit out of focus so I'll see if I can do better next time. When I call her name she rushes over and licks me and the camera! Rolling Eyes

Forgot to add that you can take chews away from her and swap them for stuff. She has let me dry her paws. We have a mild disagreement over the purpose of a lead but I think that's just initial enthusiasm.

PS she doesn't snore!!!
