Aaaahhhh, thanks Lynne!! I only wish we could keep her but with 2 very dominant females already, life is challenging to say the least! I will miss her so much when she goes, she is such a wondeful companion and would do absolutely anything for you, her eyes never leave you.....

To see her in her forever home would make me the happiest person alive which is why we never exclude her from anything and test her every single day so we can make her as rounded and balanced as we possibly can to help with finding her the perfect forever home. She is an integral part of our home and will be until the day she leaves us for her next adventure.

I so hope her forever home will be local as I have mentioned to Emma that I will offer lifetime one on one back up for continued training, support etc but if it isn't local then I will always be on the end of the telephone...

Wonderful photos and such a heart warming 'story' - this is one little girl who has been allowed to blossom.

PS I adore the last photo, by the fire. A real autumn shot that one! Wink

It's great isn't it! We fell about laughing when one day we put the fire on and it was like a magnet to her!! She edged closer and closer to point we thought she was actually going to climb in!!! Bless her, she really does love the simple things in life Very Happy

That fireside pic would look brilliant on the calendar, if rescue friends are allowed.....

...agreed. It's a wonderful photo. She looks like she's about to roast chestnuts for the family. And this is such a wonderful success story... a girlie who has worked very very hard indeed to overcome her 'challenges' and who has paid back with interest the opportunity Rebecca gave her.

I hope that she really is roasting chestnuts for her new family this Christmas!!

Wonderful photos, great to hear that she is doing so well - amazing progress and a credit to you.

I think we should have her fireside photo included in our calendar as a winter month as we should have our rescue friends represented Wink

Aaahhh, thanks everyone Very Happy

Snowflake says she would be delighted to appear in the calendar... if I didn't know better I thought she blushed when I mentioned it to her Laughing

Have some other fireside pics if you need them. Will continue to take random pics so everyone can see her in different situations. It's hard to take photos of her with anyone else as as soon as I go to get the camera she is already hot on my heels. I am trying to teach her to 'share the love' and that the woman of any household doesn't need her undivided attention!!! Once we can get her to understand that I think we'll see a HUGE behaviour shift as it will spill out into so many other areas as she learns to trust everyone not just her main handler..... Go Snowflake!

I’m sure everyone has been following her story just as I have. When you posted the pictures of her with half a tree and a cat nearby I did wonder if having been rebuked for chasing cats she had decided to bop them one with a branch! But no, she’s learned that cats aren’t the enemy.

Somebody out there is going to have a wonderful companion. If it’s someone who lives alone then the devotion will be nice! A dog that ignored you would be a bit disappointing – uncritical adoration is actually what we’d like; having not got it from humans Laughing

She realises that humans like to shape her behaviour and words mean something which makes her a really interesting dog to live with and the great thing is that Snowflake will love doing all those things! Teaching a dog who actually wants to please you is a dream! And she comes with lifelong support!!! Form an orderly queue!! Wink
