So lovely that she can be herself again and enjoy being a puppy! She deserves a very special home.

Anyone who comes into the house, we ask to ignore her and let her come to them. The same with outside as well. She is now very happy to wag her tail to any ladies coming in, but is still very cautious with the men. She no longer barks at them, but just stays out of range. When she has settled we let people give her a treat. That has got better as well now, since the puppies went she is not snatching it out of our hands. She is also eating her dinner quickly, but not inhaling it any more. Little by little.....

Little Jessie sounds like a job on going Jenny bless her, just hope she can soon find her own special home and they can continue the good work you are doing with her.

Met this lovely little girl on an SLR walk today she is a darling, if I could possibly add to my hound family she would be my first choice. I could not believe what a dainty little girl she is, and find it hard to believe how she could have given birth to eight big healthy pups. After all that hard work in her young little life she just now deserves the best of homes.

Any update on Jessie's progress Jenny? I hope she is doing well. I expect there has been lots of interest in her but know you will be looking for the perfect match for this little lady!

This little dog is to die for. She is coming out of her shell day by day, is loyal, loving and is having loads of fun with the dogs here. She has turned back into a puppy. Unfortunately she has not stopped bleeding since having the pups and Anil is going to have to neuter her next Thursday to take away her Uterus. Apart from that she has put on 2 kilos, is having fun and is such a character. Whoever meets her will fall in love with her. She still has a way to go with men she doesn't know, but she is in no way aggressive, but just apprehensive and a little scared of them. She is a wonderful little girlie, who is now having a lovely puppyhood. House training is pretty much there, unless we forget to take her out to the garden. She doesn't like peeing or pooing outside the house area so we take her for her walks and then bring her back into the garden for her toileting. She will definitely need another dog around, and children over the age of 8 as she bounces just like tigger. Here are some piccies taken today. When she stops moving that is.... Searching for her lost chew Badgering Mims for the toy Following that toy She's abandoned it, quick it's mine Possession is nine tenths of the law Mims... Now bring me a chew or the squeaker gets it Why did you take my toy.... I wouldn't have chewed it, really... I'll go see what Tag has got Where's the yellow one... Oh there it is. Tug mum... Wide mouth Lurcher anyone I loves you too Mollie, just give us the treats and I'll love you more. As you can see the cigarette burns on her side are all healed, and the fur is starting to cover them. She is really starting to enjoy herself. She is a very amiable dog and has been on nearly every rescue run that I have done, meeting and greeting all the new dogs from kennels and travelling in the back of the car with them. She is a wonderful little girl. A nutter. Playful. Loving and soppy. She is loyal, faithful, and a real joy to foster. AND THE ANSWER IS NO, WE ARE NOT KEEPING HER. I just wish I had a bigger house with lots of land so that I didn't annoy any neighbours if I had more, but we don't and I can't until I win the lottery. IF I WON THE LOTTERY TODAY Jessie would be going nowhere. Jessie, is all but ready for adoption now. Just the neutering to go. And a wonderful home to find. Whoever adopts Jessie will be very lucky. We are looking for a family where the husband has a gentle disposition. She works well to quiet encouragement. She folds in pieces with scorns or any raised voices.

Little Jessie is just lovely I met her for the first time on a walk couple of weeks ago and fell in love with her she is just my sort of hound. If I did not have my hands full with my two I would be the first in the queue to adopt her. ;)She would be an asset to any ones hound family, she is such a delightful little girl ;D

Sorry, but for some reason the word-warp is not working on this thread. I am using my carriage return. Jean, you are just the sort of home that I am looking for for little Jessie. I am sure there is another just like you out there, but they just haven found us or Jessie yet.

No, no synthetics on her at all B I wonder if Anil will do a mammary tuck for her seriously, one lovely dog who will fit in so easily to a new family.
