Trixie has gone to her new home today !!
progress update: 23rd Sep
I have been told that I am very pretty and bearing this in mind I tried my flirting skills out on Fudge.
Fudge is the dog that lives with Keith, Helen’s boss and I went to play with with him for a couple of days whilst Helen was working.
Fudge is also a Dawgdog, he’s quite nice but was immune to my charms and was only interested in getting the stick off me.
I am full of bouncy energy just like Tigger and I soon had Fudge worn out.
I also met Buffy and Angel ( Keith’s cats! )
I was quite good with them, having lived with a cat before I know that cats are to be approached carefully.I did forget my manners a few times and thought that they may enjoy to run circles around the house as we dogs like to do but Helen was VERY firm about this and said it was not the polite way to behave in cat company. She said I need a little more firm handling with cats to learn that not all cats are like my old pal in my previous home.
I need to learn not to pull on the lead and to come back when off the lead. I find the latter difficult as there are soooo many interesting smells to investigate.
In my old home there were four children and I love childen. I do miss playing with them and of course all the juicy titbits they drop when eating. Children are such messy eaters that a dog could get fat cleaning up after them.
At the rescue everyone agrees that I am a thoroughly nice dog and have gorgeous Autumn red highlights running through my coat.
Dooley and Rocco have told me that they are at the top of the homing list so I may have to wait my turn.
