Nov. 5th, 2013 04:25 pmJuniper has finally learned to sit and drop. These were hard to teach because she was so skittish. But she's getting there.

Juniper the Foster: Day #4 in care
Oct. 28th, 2013 06:38 pmJuniper's doing well. We had one indoor wee but I wasn't vigilant enough. Still, one mistake in four days after not ever having been in a house before is pretty good :) ( Read more... )
Juniper the Foster: Day #3 in care
Oct. 27th, 2013 11:02 pmJuniper is coming through doorways now. She's eating from our hands now. She has a very gentle mouth and takes treats so gently from your hand.
She visited dog club car park today and got lots of pats from strangers while on leash. Off leash she would just run and hide and keeps a distance, but on lead she is happy to be patted. Still refuses to go near a car though although travels very well when in it.
She will need a home with another dog in it, I think or at least humans who are around to keep her company. Some photos beneath the cut. ( Read more... )
