Hi Helen, well here’s this weeks puppy update.
\nCali has fitted in with the family so well.
\nWilliam the Spaniel is now her best friend and she is his nemesis when the poor lad tries to get a bit of piece and quiet, however he is so gently natured he just rolls over and submits.
\nCali has also discovered the dish washer when it is being loaded.
\nThis morning I found he inside it licking the breakfast dishes!
\nAs for training she now comes when called by name, responds to “Into the garden” and “Into the house”, together with ‘sitting’ and ‘down’ when asked.
\nShe is perfect on the lead (pink of course) when we go ‘walkies’ round the garden and as she had her second injections on Thursday we will be walking round the houses next weekend.
\nOur vet (Ben) gave her a thorough check over and declared she was in fine health.
\nHe remarked on how well she was behaved when he did the ear, nose and throat check.
\nWe have through play taught her not to bite or check when gently handled.
\nSo Carol and I must thank you for helping us find Cali who is a charming if cheeky addition to our home.<\/p>\n

Best wishes<\/p>\n

Mike & Carol<\/p>\n

We are delighted with Cali, she is as bright as a button and VERY smart.
\nWe’ve gave her a couple of days to settle in with just food and play together with exploring the garden and on Sunday we started her training in little spells of 5 or 6 minutes.
\nShe now ‘sits’ when asked (most of the time) and walks on the lead round the decking without fuss which is a great start.
\nShe is also just starting to learn ‘down’, so after such a short time I can’t tell you how pleased we are with her adaptability and intelligence.
\nToday for the first time she and William have started to play together,
\nshe hides under and behind any cover and then pounces out and attacks him with baby snarls and barks,
\nat which point he chases her to her next hiding place only to run into the follow up puppy attack.
\nI’ll say this for her she certainly has courage.
\nWe are still giving her the medication but to date there is no sign of any coughing.
\nI’ll post you some photos soon.
\nRegards
\nMike<\/p>\n

Saoirse (who is now called Cali) has settled in fine.
\nShe has made herself quite at home and has been accepted by our other two dogs with a tiny bit of bad grace, but she is a gutsy little girl and has stood her ground so I am sure that within a few days they will all be comfortable with her.
\nShe is eating well and apart from 2 ‘little accidents’ has done her bathroom duties in the garden when she comes out to the command “In the garden” and returns quickly to the opposite “In the house”; and she has started to respond to her name too.
\nShe has her own little crate where the blanket you gave us for her is, together with some toys and a rope chew hanging from the inside top.
\nShe sleeps well at night with the door closed and during the day we leave the crate open for her.
\nShe often pops herself into ‘her’ little area and lies down for a nap.
\nI’ll email you some pictures soon.
\nRegards to you and your family<\/p>\n

Mike & Carol<\/p>\n

\nThis is the new puppy that arrived yesterday.
\nHer name is Saoirse ( not named after the actress this name means freedom and liberty which is quite appropriate considering she was going to be put to sleep),
\nshe is 8 weeks old and a Collie type.
\nAs you can see from the photos she is adorable.
\nPuppies are hard work and exactly the same as having a new born baby to look after.
\nWe are looking for a home that understands this and has plenty of time for her<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
