REHOMED
progress update: 5/11/11
Hi Helen,
When I met you at the Amberwood Dog Show, I said I’d send you photo(s) of Trixie, so here she is.
I’ve got another lovely more close-up one printed but I can’t find it on the computer.
Anyway she’s quite transformed nowadays from the terrified and so aggressive character she once was into an (almost) perfect friend.

Hi Helen
I’ve been quite excited this evening because, having a new computer, for the 1st time I was able to log onto your website.
And I actually found Trixie under Dogs Homed in Dec. 2008
There I noted you said, Photos to follow, which makes me rather ashamed because of course you never heard any more about her. So I’ll update you now.
She was quoted as being 2 years old when I had her on 12th Dec. but actually in the documents I found her date of birth listed as 1st July, which made her barely 18 months then.
And she certainly was a problem child, terrified of everything and everybody and most of all other dogs.
Taking her for a walk was a nightmare as she was so frightened she would attack them.
Then when she could be gradually let off the lead there was the uphill task of getting her to come back when called.
About 18 months of almost daily traumas for us both.
But on her 3rd birthday she took a vow of obedience and devotion, and for the last year she has become a highly intelligent and much loved angel.
This has all been prompted by reading about the DAWG Fun Dog Show on 4th Sept. which I certainly hope to come to.
I reckon Trixie would certainly qualify to enter the class of “dogs who have come the furthest”, as well as one that’s “been most problematic”.
Between now and then I’m sure I ought to be able to send you some photos, though I’ll need some help in doing that.
Anyway I thought you’d like to hear about one of your rehoming success stories.
All the best in keeping up the good work.
Heather

Trixie has gone to her new home today !!
Trixie is a two year old collie cross.
She was bought for a girl who lost interest in her!
She was then stuck in a run in field and left alone apart from when she was being fed.
She is very timid with new people and needs to become more socialised
with other dogs.
