I had a great time with Violet (Nina) today. She's the first staffie I've ever walked and I think she's fantastic! After the first initial burst of energy when we left the kennels, she settled down very nicely. She listens to everything you say to her and acknowledges you by either pricking her ears up or looking round at you and smiling. She sits for treats and takes them very gently. She'd be an ideal jogging partner for someone - I was worn out after about 10 minutes of jogging with her but Violet (Nina) was still raring to go. I needed a rest, so I sat on a log and Violet (Nina) sat on my knee and gave me loads of sloppy kisses. She's very affectionate and lovely to cuddle.When we got back to the kennels, I had to get something out of my car and when I opened the car door, she jumped in and made herself at home on the back seat - so I ate my lunch in the car and shared my bacon butty with her. Violet (Nina) then washed my mum's face, including her glasses! I love her and hated leaving her behind. Can't wait to do it again next week - unless somebody finds her before then........

Lovely photos - knew she was lovely, but didn't realise just how pretty she was.  _________________ SHARONR - ADMIN

Violet (Nina) was my first walk today and all was well until I noticed her limping - she had cut her foot. Probably from jumping up in her kennel. Apparently she has been very busy jumping up and down. Hope she settles soon. I think the walk helped a bit because she seemed ok after I left. I couldn't match the girl I had read about with such a lively one but on the walk she was calm and no problem at all - just the usual staffie determination to get there soon

Walked with Violet (Nina) on the 15th Oct...she was the first one out as Sue and I wanted to apply some ear drops into her 'red' ear. She then led me forth..

Such a lovely dog. We think an only Pet is her best scenario she is SUCH a people dog  _________________ You can't train the terrier out of a terrier!

Violet (Nina) was my very last walk of the day and it was getting late so we had a shorter walk today. Still she had a lovely time and was so pleased to be out and about. She gets very frustrated in kennels but cheers up as soon as she is out. Pleasant walk all round.

Didn't manage to walk Violet (Nina) this time but she was looking and waiting the whole time - she is in the end kennel so she sees everyone go in and out
Next time Violet (Nina) sweetie.

| Took Violet (Nina) out for an extra long walk - after the initial 30 seconds she walked really well and took to the figure of 8 like a pro! |

Violet found her family today and her 'pet' name. She settled so much in Jenny and David's company..but was a little worried when this lovely friendly man declared he was an ex copper! But couldn't hide her delight when she heard now 'meat manufacturer'! Raw bones being on her regular diet to build her up again!
