Thought you'd like to see this update on Koko. She's obviously been working very hard, and has made us all so very proud.
"I thought I would drop you a quick email to let you know how Koko is getting on with us here in Ripon. She has settled in well, and is becoming a real part of the family. She came into season within the first week of being here so we havent been able to get her out and about as much as we would like, we had to take her out very early in the morning and late in the evening to avoid meeting other dogs. But now she is out of season we will be working with her confidence in town.
She has come on so much already and is much more confident near road traffic. She is really coming into herself now that she is out of season and that we have her diet right (she needs a sensitive fish and potato diet). We gave her a bath yesterday, she was really well behaved but she did manage to soak us!
We have found that she is quite well trained, the more she got to know us the more we saw how much she understood! She is coping quite well with meeting new people, including children, and doesnt mind visitors to the house. She has had some attachment issues, which was to be expected, but after a bit of work she can now be left without getting stressed and messing in the house.
We are finding that she is not breed typical as she loves meeting new people and new dogs, which I think has a lot to do with the great work that you guys did with her during her stay!
Koko is such a lovely girl and is really a joy to have around. She seems very happy here with us and I am glad that we have been able to give her a second chance at family life :)
Hope you like the photos we have attached!
Kind Regards Kat & Dave."
