Holly, who has had pups probably about four months ago, came into our care via a local rescue who were determined that she shouldn't be pts.
Whatever her past history, the lass is a very happy soul - earlier this evening I thought someone was knocking at the front door, but in fact 'twas Holly's tail going nineteen to the dozen, which appears to be its permanent state! ;D
She has been getting on well with the resident hounds, & has quickly made herself at home:

She sounds a very friendly litte girl and looks quite solid. Correct on both counts Viviane! 
Holly is socialising well with the resident hounds, friendly with everyone she meets, & has a very active tail. If you saw what an appetite she possesses, you'd know why she looks solid - I guess she'd eat 24/7 if she was given the opportunity!

Holly has responded well to wearing a halti, (she pulls like a train on a standard lead ), & is indeed eager to have it on, since she knows that when it's produced she'll be going out for a walk.  Her housetraining is coming on, although we're not 100% there yet; she makes no fuss when crated; she continues to be very affectionate, & she's relaxed in the company of other dogs & any people she meets.
Holly this afternoon:

Has she inflicted any lashings with that wagging tail Barney ;D  The resident hounds, visitors & myself have thankfully thus far avoided any damage Mummy Chook, but I do fear for the walls & doors of the home-kennel: given the right circumstances, such as the appearance of my roast beef sarnies tonight, her extremely active tail could prove lethal.

Thank you so much Jean for fostering lovely Holly. She really is a poppet. She just needs a woman's touch in the toiletry department.  No disrespect uncle Barnacles

No disrespect uncle Barnacles  Yup - as with my own children, (many, many moons ago ), I have no problem with the aftermath of 'accidents,' but I have to hold my hands up & say that I'm probably a tad deficient in the dog toilet training department, though I can never really see where I'm going wrong.
Mums are definitely better equipped to deal with these issues. ;D ;D ;D

This was the scene in my house after Uncle.B. had departed, I am sorry I don't have a working camera at the moment courtesy of my hounds but I do have a video camera so thats the best I can do. All is well in the world at the moment, apart from my snow lady she is now minus a nose and an eye, I see I will be ding a repair job before next Christmas. ;D ;D
