Completely unnecessary photo of Eric and Bella added because I like it
Bella was ten on Wednesday, of course she got a warm chicken leg, presents and I made a cake and we sang to her. Eric joined in obviously but it made me realise how much she has changed and not all of it is for the better
The positives are that she likes a lot of dogs now where she didn't tolerate any (still a few she doesn't like but more inclined to ignore them than snarl anyway so I'd say that is as good as it gets)
She is great off the lead and her recall is good probably because she doesn't like to be too far from my side and she is the sweetest gentle dog with the dc.
The negatives are that despite coming here being fed Bakers complete and eating it without fuss every day she can try it on and be fussy now I feed her better quality food.
She never made a sound for weeks and now she patrols the house like a demon and barks at anyone who dares to walk past.
She wasn't walked and so used the garden to toilet at her last home, now she has discovered the joy of two walks every day she won't toilet in the garden so whatever the weather I'm mindful that she needs to go out and toilet.
Some things don't change she hates dustbin men, postmen and delivery drivers and recognises our Hermes van and driver even away from home and barks and growls at him anyway.

The doghouse
So did your rescue change beyond all recognition once they realised they were home?
