670 - POPPY. Recovering from mange. - RE-HOMED

Oh my what a beauti. At least she will get the best care now

What's a stunner.

Poppy is a sweetheart. She was timid at first but soon settled in the car and loved her cuddles in the backseat on the way here. She was a bit sick towards the end of the journey and let off awful stinks from her rear end. She had quite a soft poo this afternoon so I'm feeding her chicken and rice today and tomorrow before going on to puppy food.








Looks like she is smelling freedom in this picture!




She does seem very young, maybe only 6 months or so and she is very little too. She's had a great time playing with my dogs but they've had to tell her off every now and again as I think she is so young her manners aren't great. She's been trying to get into Jack's crate with him and it's taken a few times before she realised he wanted it to himself. She also settled in her crate for 5 mins with the door closed earlier and took herself off to lie down in there with the door open.







I wonder if Jack's saying in the pic below, this has stopped being funny now. 



She had a great time rolling in the wood chip area earlier - better than the mud it's covering up.





I haven't introduced her to our cats yet as most of today she's been quite hyper and excited so will wait until next week. Earlier she was quite playful with me and briefly confused me for another dog - trying to play bitey games. She doesn't seem to know any commands, though with lots of trying she did manage to sit once for a bit of chicken above her head so I think she just needs lots more practice. She also doesn't seem to know her name that well yet. But she's been great with doing all her business outside so far, and managed to open the back door to get into the kitchen by pulling down the handle - so she is very clever. She can also counter surf like a pro which is surprising considering how little she is. She does pull on the lead and walk in zig-zags so I'll be working on that as well. She is very affectionate and cuddly and her fur is so so soft. She seems a little thin and her skin is still healing from manage so a little sore. I'll be taking her to my vet tomorrow and all being well she will be able to be spayed soon.

In this picture she was supervising me cooking her dinner but fell asleep on the job.

What a beautiful Flookie , she is going to be very feathery by the looks of it. fo giving her a foster home, onwards and upwards little girl

Oh Ruth,she's so lucky to have you fostering her... she looks very sweet. Best wishes to you all & hope she finds a home soon. I'm sure she will,little beauty! Xx

Thank you Hollie, she is adorable xx

Beautiful! 

Lovely updates. Anyone interested in this pretty little girl is going to get a really nice view of her character.

Brilliant updates Ruth. I love her roman nose. What height to the shoulder would you say she is? Can't wait to see if she is cat friendly as there are a few waiting in the wings to know that one.
Just to add that they all seem to be completely bonkers when they first come in. It's the freedom of it all. x
