"Just an update on Molly's first few days.
There were a couple of incidents on Thursday night she was very quiet and when we found her she had the top of the kitchen bin round her neck, looking innocent but as I said to her "you've been framed".On Friday morning we woke up to find (even though we had bought a nick comfy bed) she was lying draped across the sofa in our bedroom, she then slithered off as though nothing had happened.
She has been very brave and taken everything in her stride, especially the food!
Friday: First thing after brekkies we gave her a bath to get rid of the "eau de kennel" she wasn't keen on the bathing but stood while we did it, bless her. We then took her to Morpeth and walked her round the park and up Haw Hill then took her to the otherside of the river via the stepping stones over the Wansbeck river which she negotiated really well, not a pretty technique but she got there.
Saturday:
We went to the point in the morning at Newbiggin gave her a good walk and back home to have lunch. We've been feeding her little and often three times a day. In the evening we went to the Queen Elizabeth Park and she avoided the lake really well.
Sunday:
Walked her and then went to Dyke Neuk for Sunday lunch (you can take dogs into the bar whilst you eat) which we did and we were very proud of her she behaved impeccably.
Monday:
We'd arranged to go to Durham so Molly came to, walked her along the river and Moira looked after her whilst I did a few jobs.
Overall, she has settled very very well and there are little things like getting on chairs etc but that's nothing, she now knows that when she gets into the car she is coming back home and jumps in no bother. Overall we are absolutely thrilled with her and are thoroughly enjoying having a dog again."
Absolutely brilliant, I swear these dogs have a better social life than me.
