That's what sofas are for! That's certainly what the lanky lass believes! Many thanks for posting the pic & t'other ones Loz - you're a star. You're most welcome Barney.

Summer has settled in well. Her nerves are fading fast and a cheeky side is emerging (stole my knickers from the wash basket and ran round the paddock with them !! ) This lass is highly intelligent and will need firm training or she'll rule the roost. We met up with Dena and Dan on their campsite at the weekend and Dena offered Summer, who was lying on the bunk, a plastic mug with some kibble in, she very daintily ate the top bits, (Summer not Dena) carefully picking up the mug and positioning it closer to her, when the last of the kibble was right at the bottom she carefully picked up the mug and tipped the kibble out on the bunk right in front of her ! Summer has also worked out routes to get to me that the rest of the pack hadn't even thought of ! Starting training NOW !!!! She is brilliant to handle, enjoying a bath and letting me clean the old tartar off her teeth without a murmur. She loves playing with the rest of the pack but stands no nonsense, even Siri is showing some respect !!! and Fizz has found some opposition just as fast and agile as she is. I'll get some pics up when I have the energy to fight photobucket.

Many thanks for the great update Sue. Everything you say about the lovely lass tallies with my all too brief acquaintance with her. I trust that you & your pack continue to enjoy Summer's unique company, & the entertainment value she brings.

Summer has well and truly settled in and her real character is emerging. She is getting much more confident around people she knows but is very wary when out and about and prone to making a dash either back into the house or the van. With my dogs she is very confident and boisterous. Shady refuses to play with her because she's too rough ( he's always a bit of a wimp), Fizz plays 'can't catch me' but every so often Summer does and then Fizz swears at her. Big, bolshy Sirius has surrendered completely ! He won't challenge her for his favourite toy when playing and even gives up his ball to her ! The only one Summer respects and is wary of is Tatty !!! All 7 bristling inches of him ! We haven't had any accidents for the last couple of days so fingers crossed house training is now sorted, I think a lot of it was nerves as she has always been clean at night. This lady needs a home where she will be trained and occupied, she burns off a lot of energy playing with another dog but will need a strong and confident companion. Oooh look, even Borzois have teeth !! These two actually play very happily like this. Finally puffed out having worn out ALL of my pack. Demonstrating that she really is a loooong dog.

Massive thanks Sue for taking her back down with you to sunny Cornwall after the fun day. They don't take long to come out of their shells do they? She's looking so relaxed in the long dog piccie. x

Summer is doing well, she is very confident now with me and in familiar circumstances but still prone to panic when out especially if there are unexpected loud noises. Ok now with lorries and motorbikes driving past but someone hit what sounded like corrugated iron, a really loud bang and Summer went into full panic meltdown, took me about twenty minutes to get her back to a calm state and to walk nicely! She is beginning to walk well on the lead and recall is beginning to happen slowly ! Is supper ready yet ? Just snuggled with my mates and watching in case ant tidbits are around !

Excellent updates. It sounds like Summer is a smart cookie - but also imaginative enough to get scared at the unknown.
