Well I must be the happiest failure in history!
I met Treacle on Saturday 7th March, she was leaning on me within minutes of us meeting ;D took her for a walk and just couldn't believe how gentle she was
Lisa told me she was a one in a million dog, I think she's a once in a lifetime angel!
I've never had a dog before, though always loved them despite being bitten by one at a young age.. I have spoken to Lisa and Jackie at length who've been just wonderfully supportive about me initially fostering, with advice on a bitch as I see a friend with a grey and a whippet x a great deal, both are dogs.
Treacle calms down the 3 year old grey when out walking, she's superb when we're out and fully understands NO when we see cats and bunnies on our walks.
She sighs and groans a great deal at home and had her first roach after 3 days
she's learning to be playful with me and the hounds she regularly sees. She's charmed everyone she has met, even my best friend's 80 year old mum is desperate to meet her ;D
As a foster mum I have failed, after 24 hours I told Lisa that Treacle won't be going anywhere, and this really is a testament to Lisa for choosing the right hound for me, thank you. If this is how failing feels.... bring it on!
