Quick update on my dogs...
Loofa, still poorly but happy - no meds for over a year which is amazing but he is still thin and 'broken' but eating, loves his walks and is generally ok. He is 3.5 now and to be honest, we didnt think he would get past 2, so every day is a bonus.
Lolly, well she was my hard work girl. From the minute we had her she was full on. After lots of training, agility twice a week, 2 long walks every day, games, puzzles and down time she still wanted to work. There were some other 'things' that happened that made us realise she wasnt supposed to be a pet dog, so...
She is now nearly finished her training to be a police dog which I am so very proud of. From the first meeting with them she was on the ball - only had to be shown things once and she picked it up. The force have said lots of positive things about her homelife and how fab she is which makes me happy, and yes I am sad that she is not with us but know that we made the right decision (although not an easy one)
I also get to see and hear how she is doing which is good and know that her handler is lovely, she is with another dog who she adores and lives with the family.
And then after Lolly left we did some emergency fostering and got a 14.5yr old black lab, deaf as a post, v poor eyesight but gorgeous. DD fell in love with him (heartbroken after Lolly went, but thats another story) and he now lives with us. He will spend his twilight time with us and I am glad to have given a home to a rescue who was in serious need.
