Not much Christmas news about Gem. No 1 daughter was here for a few days and loved her. She had some leftover pheasant on Christmas Day and has enjoyed our walks. Unfortunately we overslept on 27th and wouldn't have got to Hylands much before 1 pm. Yesterday we took no 1 daughter home, so couldn't go to Glen Faba. Are you overlooking Gem? She's quite a nervous dog so needs confident people she can look up to and dote on. And she will dote on you.

She is a lovely little poppet John why on earth is she still waiting for the right home, but saying that it looks like she has got that with you.

John and Viv kindly took Gem down to Surrey for a homecheck last week, but it was not right for Gem. So she is still watiing.

If she hates cats can I presume she will hate a presently rather officious little dachsie? x

If she hates cats can I presume she will hate a presently rather officious little dachsie? x After a fraught 24 hours in the same house, I think she would just ignore him/her. There are hints that she might prefer boys Yesterday she offered her Kong on a rope to Tully the collie puppy (roughly 10 weeks old)

She was fine with my lot too during the brief period she was here - no hassles.

Postponed at 10.45 am 6/2/09, probably till 21st, due to the poor weather.
ROLL UP, ROLL UP
Subject to weather and road conditions Gem will be attending the meet and greet at West Drayton Pets at Home on Saturday 7th February, probably from around 11 a.m.
She is a small (to us at any rate), fun girl who is a bit unsure of new people and dogs to begin with but soon bonds. She's bright, funny, annoying and totally lovable. She likes ball games, eating and burrowing under armpits, rugs and bedclothes.
She has quite a high opinion of herself and so needs to be told firmly but quietly that she is not in charge; in Cesar Millan speak you need to be "calm assertive" so she remains "calm submissive". Because little children don't do "calm assertive" I recommend that goes to a household with children aged 10 and over.

Good luck on Saturday Gem Silverlady - perhaps you'd better go along too to see if John can work his magic.

The West Drayton meet and greet is postponed, probably until 21st Feb. See you then if she's still waiting for her forever home.
