This little lady came straight from the vets after her spey yesterday to our house last night. She has had a very settled night. Her trainer says she was born to be a lady of leisure as she didn't race well!

Hi Jeff, rather than shutting the kitchen door, why dont you try using a stair gate. I am also going to send you a DVD in the post on loan to watch..... this will help you lots and lots of things..... watch for the postman! x

Jessie initally gave me some beautifully patterned bruises down my legs from jumping .. but like you I give no verbal .. the JR goes straight outside on her own .. and I stand still with the mop stale angled across of me and today is the first day Jessie hasnt attempted to jump!! bet that isnt in any training book!! So like you we are learning together ... happy days Jx

He has my cuddle too xxxx Sad it hasn't worked out this time, but I'm assuming he is now house trained and being so handsome will hopefully find his forever home soon xxxx They get used to road noise etc when exposed gently to it , I'm sure he would get over his nerves given time xxxx

Hi Jeff, glad to hear things are coing along nicely. Just to let you know we've lived in our house for18yrs and NEVER shut pur kitchen door, not when we had our 1st son nor number 2, not even when I started childminding and there were plenty of little fingers around then..............well, Gold came to live in our house in Sept '11, and the cry was "SHUT THAT DOOR!!!!" Then just to add to the fun we added Ruby(Joan) to the family and a new cry "IS THAT KITCHEN DOOR SHUT???" Thankfully most of the time is shut with the girls on the outside. Have fun with Teddy and Carrie xx

Kate ,I'm having to be quiet careful with him and her long legs and excitement ,which is why Im not encouraging her getting excited he tried to have another go on tuesday when she was getting excited but this time unlike sundays little grumble he got his proper correction technique , Cold water in his face and NO and ignored for 24 hours , completely ignored and just pushed away whenever he came near me with No verbal communication at all ( seems to work very well with Terriers) I knew he would try it on at one point , so better to get it out of the way sooner and make him fully aware that thats NOT going to be tolerated in a way that I know he fully understands.... apart from that little moment , they've been sleeping side by side , Him on his bed and Carrie on hers. Its a big change for all of us ,Even my house feels different as Im having to shut the kitchen door at the moment , just in case she tries to get on the worktops which in 14 years I've never closed the kitchen door and it seems to make the whole house feel different... But , touch wood , nothing I can't handle ( and Im not going to add the word "yet" to that comment) , I had such a hard time with Teddy in the beginning and am so glad I didn't give him back and I persevered even though I was , at one point with him seconds away from doing so .. This is a bit different , but easy by comparison and thats going to be the best bit , when in the winter, after a walk in the snow, she lying , unmuzzled ,with Teddy , by the woodburner and I just know thats going to happen !!

Hi Jeff, I had to smile at the thought of Carrie's muzzle covered in dough! I hope Teddy is coping with having a mad Greyhound as a housemate! Kate x

Well , everything is Calm at the moment , had 2 poo and wee free nights in the house and she is getting the idea of making a fuss ( the very gentle little woof that she has) to go out even if that is at 3am , I dont really mind , I would rather she get the idea that if she wants to go out she can make a fuss , most of the time she just spends sleeping although she does follow me around everywhere. Shes getting better at being fed as well , firstly she was manic , but shes calming down a bit now , I know Im overfeeding her at the moment but again Im not too worried about that ,as for me , thats an easy thing sorted out in the coming weeks The Muzzle , though , has proved a godsend , I was making some bread earlier and turned my back for one second and ended up with a muzzle covered in dough , but there was plenty left for me but she is keeping her paws off the Kitchen units quiet well now when Im preparing food for myself. She is really an excitable little girl though , and when I come back from being out , she gos stupid , so all Im doing at the moment is not talking to her apart from holding her collar to stop her from jumping and when shes calm then making a fuss of her, this is the point where Im at most risk of Teddy having a go at her because she dosent care what she treads on with her long legs in her excitement so Im keen to get her to understand that even though she may be excited to see me ,she needs to calm down before I show any real attention. But she seems to be learning a few basics of dog etiquette , Saturday and sunday are going to be the Mock ups of me going to work , with my neighbor coming in halfway through the period Im out even though Im not working and she is managing the stairs alot better , first she just lept from the bottom to the top but now she sortof walks and touches most of the stairs... anyway thats enough for now...
