I rescued a dog on Saturday. She's lovely. She's nervous because some cunt kept her locked in a cage on a puppy farm but she's getting attached to us and I even got to belly rub this morning.
I just don't want her to be bored.
I take her out about three times a day for 20 minutes round the block, after which she sleeps for a couple of hours.
She's got loads of toys but hasn't shown any interest in any of them at all. She's played with toys before because she was fostered but when she was fostered she had another dog to show her the ropes.
She can't jump up so can't sit on the sofa and look out of the window.
Sometimes she just lies on her blanket (she won't get into her basket, that's maybe another thread!) and looks around at the room and I'm getting so worried that she's bored.
Not just yet because she's only been home for a couple of days but is there anything I can do to make sure she's not bored?
I want to make her life as good as possible.
She's about 3 and is a border terrier cross.
TIA
