Sarah
I’m Homed
Discovered several things about Sarah yesterday: 1. I needn't have been worried about her getting into the back of my car (it's quite high) - I had to hold her back as I opened the tailgate and she was straight in there as soon as I said OK 🙂 2. She can sit! Paul and I and the 3 girls went for a walk last night round one of the horse fields and didn't take waterproofs for any of us. We got caught in a deluge and took shelter under a tree. Eventually Sarah got fed up and positioned herself very tidily between Paul's legs and just quietly sat down with her bum on his feet. Clever girl - no need to sit on wet grass! We'd suspected she might be a sitter, but now we know, we can have a play with training.... 3. The sight of rabbits running in the fields gets her excited... (guess she's normal then!) We did also have a funny moment with the statue of the waiter outside the cafe at Earlswood Lakes Craft Centre...Sarah thought it was a real person and went up to it wagging her tail.....it was one of those really cute moments!xx

Sparky
Over the Rainbow Bridge
A new photo of Sparky enjoying the evening sunshine in the garden yesterday. Today, he had a great time on his walk, on full alert sniffing for the bunnies again, and trying to stick his head down the rabbit holes! We then went out visiting and, although he was very well behaved, obviously everything was new & strange again and he was a bit wary, so he decided not to sit down at my sister's, bless him! Back "home" now and back in familiar surroundings he is spark out in his basket after such a busy morning. xx

Bless her, I think I'm right in saying she is the half sister to my Ruby (same dad but different mum) so I bet she has a lovely soft nature just like my Ruby.

Sarah
I’m Homed
Shanesmum ..... that Boswell woman has a lot to answer for! I honestly don't quite know how it happened. No sooner has Bunny departed on trial (we still have everything crossed there as well) and then we end up with Sarah! And oh yes she is definitely a bundle of energy :)) She has been tearing round the garden on her own tonight just for the sheer fun of it! Not up and down this time but in a big circle round me - she was having a terrific time. Then she's been with Lola & Lena to visit my dad and wish him happy birthday as he is 83 today. She wandered round his place for 5-10 mins checking everything out and then settled down for a rest which already we see as progress. She is so bright and picks things up very quickly. She seems very friendly too - we walked to my dad's place and called in at Sainsburys on the way and she just had to say hello to the nice man who smiled at her as he came out of the shop! That's Sarah..... what you see is exactly what you get! xx

You appear to have a revolving doggy door LindaPaul, one out one in!! Isn't Sarah just a bundle of fun & energy, and she really does like to be amongst humans. Hopefully Lola & Lena can show her that everything is still ok even when there's no humans around. Good luck with her. xx

Sarah

Paul tells me that Sarah spent the day in the garden yesterday 'helping' him cut the lawn and the hedges. She's a real character but seems quite dependent on human company for her personal entertainment! We have started to work on this and right now she is with Lola & Lena in their room and I'm working in the conservatory and all has been spookily quiet for the last 40 mins or so. She is house trained just as Ruth told us so no problems there either. She had a lovely long walk round 2 of the Earlswood Lakes last night and then a chance to potter round the stables and barn while we sorted out the horses (who she found fascinating by the way). xx

Sparky
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Happy to report another clean and settled night from the lovely Sparky. We had a wildlife encounter in the garden when he went out for his final "visit" before bed last night! There was a young hedgehog trundling across the lawn & Sparky was completely fascinated by it, and naturally it was much more important to try to follow it than have a wee!! He thrives on routine, and learns quickly (the stairs are a prime example, he soon worked out the best way for him to go up & down our strange cottage stairs!) We're looking forward to taking him out visiting tomorrow, and continuing to watch this lovley boy's personality start to emerge. xx
