Below are two updates from Carole, Brackens new Mum. I asked her permission to post them here and I'm sure you'll agree this little girl has fallen on her feet and landed in doggy heaven. She has come so far in a short time, we still miss her but we are soooo proud of her progress and I'm hope you'll be just as thrilled as we were to read how well she's doing. Oohh she really hits the heart this little one.
All is well.
Just an update.
Bracken is doing really well follows Jake everywhere. Lily just lets her do her own thing although they has a kissing and licking session in the mornings.
Feeding times are hilarious she sniffs their bowls to check its the same food then head in does'nt even take a breath and its gone not fussy at all.
Yesterday we took them all to the beach. She absolutely loved it tail up proud and wagging. Not too keen on the soft sand at first but when we got on the wet sand she loved to roll and chased the others (kept her on an extendable lead) I was shattered running up and down with her just could'nt keep up. She then encountered a sausage roll much to her delight followed by an ice cream, she even ate the cone!! This would have been the perfect photo opportunity she looked soooooooo cute with ice cream all over her face BUT with all the excitement we had left it in the car!!
Hi Peg & gang
Just to let you know Bracken is coming on soooooo well.
My vet checked her out, cleaned her ears and told me to continue with the drops, he also gave her an injection which has stopped her scratching and shaking her head. She must be feeling a whole lot better, as she now sits on the settee at my side and allows me without force to clean her ears and put the drops in. She then scurries into the kitchen to the treat cupboard......not daft is she?
Her confidence is building round us as she becomes more settled but with Jake & Lily she just barges through them. She plays with us more and tries to join in with the others chasing the ball but when she gets to it does'nt quite know what to do next but wags her tail anyway. She does chase us round the garden drops on her elbows and darts from side to side tail wagging and smiling at us....she loves it! Catching her is becoming easier too, albeit treat based, she will feed from your hand now and then pancakes to enable you to pick her up, still not keen but we are working on it.
Bedtime and mornings with her are just brilliant.
At bedtime we do a group hug say night night then cuddle up....Bracken THEN decides its playtime and jumps around licking and nibbling your fingers.....is this the same dog? Mornings are much the same its as if she is soooooo pleased to see you. She wags her whole body and jumps and dives around its such a pleasure to see. She also copies the others by rolling onto her back for a tummy tickle.
I promise photos soon and will keep in touch with her progress.
