It's my baby girl's 1st birthday so I thought I'd better give an update
She came in at the end of February as an urgent collect - a 4 month old, crazy non stop whirlwind who we were supposed to foster. HA
Within a few days it was apparent that we didn't want this little cow print baby to go anywhere, despite me telling everyone that she was definitely NOT staying. All my friends kept telling me she was too much of a good dog to pass up, and although I hate my friends being right - they were!! I still get complete strangers coming up to me at agility asking me if she is the dog that wasn't staying
She is the worst food thief ever, she isn't the brightest tool in the box (my OH says he has more brains in his sock) and she is the most uncoordinated animal I have ever seen (until she starts to run and then she is like silk in the wind). But OMG we love her. She still shouts Roo Roo Roo whenever she gets excited (like when she needs to come downstairs!), falls off the bed, is the nicest most gentle cuddler ever and snakes her head as close into you as possible. She loves everyone and wags her tail so much it becomes painful. She is ready to go anywhere and do anything we're doing, but as soon as nothing is happening she lies down and has a kip. She tries sooooo hard to do what you ask, even if it takes her couple of brain cells a while to work it out - apparently she can only think when she is cool which is her excuse for lying in mud all the time.
Watch out agility world Peppa will be on the scene sometime next season
- can someone please remove her from the burger van.
Here's a bit of her life so far
4 months old - first day home
I told Eric not to tease her - I knew she'd be twice his size and speed one day
6 months old - camping
Watching agility - she needs her comfort wherever she is!
Her normal colour
1st time coursing (she couldn't understand the lure changing direction)
12 months old
Doing what she does best
Lisa - I can't thank you enough for letting us share her life.
