25th November

Sorry for no entry yesterday,still grappling with the new technology!
Sandy is fine after her spay and showing no ill effects. She is eating and toileting and rolling on her back to show us how beautifully her wound is healing!
I cannot believe she has been with us over a week now or that we did actually manage to achieve our goal and take her in. It did not happen as I expected and it was not really until Monday evening when I heard from Sally how well Bullseye had settled, that we could really relax.

Sally and Simon have kindly taken Bullseye as a foster to go with Saffy whom they adopted from us in summer last year. Bullseye is having a lovely time with lots of cuddles and also playing happily with Sally's mothers dog, an entire male, which just shows what a lovely temperament he is. Our thanks to Sally and Simon for their help without which we could not have taken Sandy in.
Also thanks to Glenn and Anna for rehoming Piglet(an extraordinary little dog who leaves a BIG impression on all she meets)

Heard from Tara,Sandy's dog warden this morning and apparently Sandy's former owners have been calling the tenancy officer saying what a horrible person she is for taking Sandy away. It was down to Tara's determination and efforts that Sandy was rescued so maybe you would like to comment to encourage Tara.

A quick word on Sandy's toileting behaviour. She has not had any accidents in the house and seems to understand that she should do it outside. She will go in the garden first thing in the morning and during a walk later on. She is quite conservative, and does not go a lot of times. She does not go however when I take her out to the garden in the evening or at night and becomes agitated and lies down! I am not sure what this tells us and sorry if this is "too much detail" but hey ,"welcome to my world," as these observations are how I get to know each dog in my care and work out the what sort of needs they have and what sort of home they will require!
