She's feeling a lot better this afternoon and has a wet nose now. We've been in the garden and I've tried to take her photo outside... not easy because I don't trust her off the lead in my garden. I need an extender for the next foster.
Isn't she gorgeous? She needs a bright pink colour, matching jersey and a home and then she'll be perfect!

@Zack 'n' Me
She's a very sweet dog indeed. She goes back to the kennels tomorrow but hopefully she's enjoyed her little holiday with me. I most certainly have enjoyed my time with her.
I just want a home for her now! 
edited to add the first ones were with a 60mm portrait lens but the ones in the garden are with a 50mm lens... both Nikkor. The 50mm doesn't get used enough because I take close-ups of flowers! I need a dog really to ensure the lens gets used more...

I am sure she has enjoyed herself Xristine.
Yes i totally agree with you, it makes perfect sense to get a dog to make sure you use the lens more often |

Exactly. Actually I bought the f1.8 because it was cheaper. The f1.4 is faster and a *lot* more expensive so after I have the dog to use the lens I'll need the faster lens to 'shoot' the dog!
I think Tara has enjoyed being here. She really has settled in so well and so quickly. I feel like she's always been here. She will make someone a wonderful companion. She is soooo gentle and nice. She really is nice!! I've taken things from her, asked her to give things she was eating and she hands it all over without a word.
She had a tendency to rush to any exit when she first arrived so I'd get bundled out of the way in the rush for the door, stairs, anything but now she waits for me to go first.
We've played some games together - I've done treasure hunt with her and I've been reinforcing Sit! Stay! Come! She likes doing those!

One last??! photo of Tara from me. I wanted you to see her with a wet shiny nose!
We've just returned from a walk. She is very good on the lead, she doesn't play with it - she just gets on with walking. The people who have been walking her have done really well with her! She walks fast but responds if you want to slow down. I love this picture because you can see her cheeky expression and her beautiful coat but I have to keep reminding - she's small and compact... only knee high.

You know its difficult to decide who has enjoyed this weekend more ... Tara or Xristine! Think it's a very close call, but it's been a joy to see
Thank you Xristine

Sharon - I've had a great time. She's a delight!
I have had a little experience with staffies but nothing like what I've had with JRTs but I have to say staffies are much easier to train and control! Tara only needs telling a couple of times before she realises what you want and she's really wants to please. A JRT may or may not realise and sometimes couldn't care less in any case! 
I'll miss her - she has been fun and we've laughed a lot even though she has been ill. You can look at her pictures and see a grown dog and she is adult but only just. She has lost some weight so we've tightened her collar and the end sticks out more... it brought a lump to my throat to see the little teeth marks where she has caught the end and 'played' with it... a measure of just how young she still is. As I say, here's a dog with all of the hard graft done, yet so willing to learn and so anxious to please. I know she'll shine in her new home because in a couple of days I can see what she is like. The walkers say the same thing - she is fun and biddable. She is a wonderful dog and she deserves a home to match her sweet personality!
