21"tts? She is tiny! Not sure why but I had it in my head that she would be greyhound sized. Poor little paws She'll feel so much better when those huge nails have been clipped. Give her a gentle cuddle from me please hun.

Lovely little girl. She has definitely been neglected - the length of those claws!!!! I am sure she will blossom with good food and your love and care, Claire.

She's going to be transformed, physically and mentally, by being with you Claire. It's so heartwarming to know that you'll give her the best love and care while she's with you.

You are an angel, Claire. Thank you so much for looking after this little girl. As my girlie here says "Jemima's are the best!". She will blossom under your care Claire. I will be interested how old your Vet puts her at. xx

Just one look into those soulful eyes and you just want to cuddle her and protect her from the world and make all her trouble go away.

Jemima had a good night, slept happily in her crate/den...although she can open it herself! We went to the vets for a thorough check up. There is no sign of cataracts but she is definately blind, more than likely a retinal problem but this really doesn't bother her too much, once she is familiar with her surroundings. The swelling around the mammary glands seems to be a hormonal thing, vet thinks she may have just finished a season, booked for spaying Monday. Her nails were clipped a little bit but with long quicks we were hesitant to go too short, will ask for a clip under general. I also weighed her, 16.5kgs so a healthy weight. So far she has walked beautifully on the lead. Preferring to keep close to heal. She sits and will do anything for a treat i think! Age estimated at 8 years. So many years ahead of her all being well

So please Jemima has a clean bill of health but so sad she is blind. It is amazing how dogs cope though. Hopefully she will find a home with a companion dog who can be her 'eyes'. I just want to hug her. Another blurry screen here.

Jemima is now taking herself off to her crate after toilet duties. I think she feels safe there. I suspect she would love to sit on my lap for fussing but at the moment I am just letting her sit by my feet. She has some fear and has snarled at my bigger dogs only when she walks into them and they growl at her. She is not in the position to run away, being blind, so she will 'defend' herself. My dogs don't take alot of notice if they see her walking into them it's when she takes them by surprise, if they don't growl she just bumps into them and walks on or even under them. We have done a couple of pack walks and she is absolutely fine so not neccessarily dog reactive just reactive to challenge. I did notice a nic out of her ear yesterday so suspect she has come from travelling stock and possibly as a breeding bitch. Despite this she trusts humans and will follow you if call her. My initial thoughts are that Jemima would be best suited as an only dog. Mainly so she could wander around without fear. She will explore her surroundings and will tackle new things with encouragement. When we picked her up the warden reported that she wouldn't walk through doorways unless she is between your legs being guided. In the past 48 hours we have seen her hopping in and out of our car, go through doorways of all widths and negociate steps of varying depths. With someone who could devote more of their attention to just her she will blossom I am sure.

She sounds so lovely, a bit of reaction to other dogs is understandable. I'm sure there's the right family for her out there somewhere, so pleased she's got a good home until then x
