Leah the foster dog

Our first foster dog Leah.

Well what a little poppet she has been. We were a little worried about a 10 month old puppy coming into the house especially as its been 1
7 years since we had a puppy! She has been a little charmer from day one. We needn't have worried.


She was a typical puppy with no real doggy manners but after Cyril decided enough was enough and told her off she has been much b
etter.
She is clean in the house and woke me at 3am the first night to go out to the loo. Clever girl.

She tried out all the beds even the cats.

She likes Cyrils best and he is happy to loan it out.

She happily sleeps in her crate at night although she does make a little fuss in the day when she is left but a kong takes her mind off it. She loves her food which helps with training she responds to some commands and is learning. She does jump up when excited.

On walks she wants to meet everyone if they want to meet her or not, you have to watch this as she jumps up at them too.

She is very good at opening presents and loves tearing paper. She also seems to know that toilet roll is great fun and stole a role out of the bathroom and then went downstairs to shred it all over the kitchen:)

Waiting for her pressie


Getting started


Nearly there


Yey a Turkey !
She loves her turkey and is really quite gentle when she plays.

Under supervision she has met the cat. The Chunkster is sooo inquisitive he couldn't stay away and sat staring at her through the door. Leah found this very disconcerting and kept backing away. When they have met Leah has been very well behaved although I wouldn't leave her to her own devices just yet, as she really wants to play, I do think she would happily live with a cat.

We are positive she has lived in a home before and she has sneaked on the sofa a couple of times to watch the TV! She sneaked onto my lap yesterday when friends were round and pretty much by stealth worked her way up so that her head was on my lap and her bum was on my friends lap. This apparently counts as not being on the sofa:)
