Mary
- Re-homed
Bob
and I
brought
Mary home
on 17th
November
2007.
She settled
in really
quickly
and within
a few
days had
pulled
all the
stuffing
out of
a soft
dog toy
that I
bought
her!
After
about
couple
of weeks,
we gave
her her
own arm
chair
that she
curled
up in
to watch
the telly
and sleep
(although
it never
looked
comfy!).
She would
jump up
on and
off when
either
of us
came in
from work,
or came
down in
the mornings!
She is
still
very excitable!
Christmas
was a
rather
overwhelming
experience;
the wrapping
paper
was her
favourite
thing
in the
whole
world
and after
ripping
every
piece
up and
rolling
around
in it,
she was
exhausted
for the
rest of
the day!
Although
she
loved
the
extra
time
with
us over
the
Christmas
period,
winter
is not
Mary’s
favourite
season.
She
hates
rain
and
refuses
to go
outside
without
her
coat
on,
we also
appear
to walk
double
time
for
the
whole
walk,
only
stopping
to sniff
under
trees
that
shade
her
from
the
rain!
She
will
not
walk
in puddles
or mud
and
will
walk
around
anything
she
thinks
may
be “unclean”!
When
we return
from
the
walk,
she
then
takes
about
20 mins
cleaning
all
the
dirt
from
her
white
paws
(may
I say
that
they
remain
white
most
of the
time
and
seems
to be
quite
cross
when
they
are
not).
We
came
to the
open
day
at the
kennels
in May
and
Mary
had
a wonderful
time,
I did
think
that
she
may
be a
little
nervous,
taking
her
back
to the
kennels,
but
she
was
really
excitable.
She
was
amazed
to see
another
brindle
dog
and
they
just
stared
at each
other
for
ages!!!
We also
met
Kate
–
Mary’s
old
owner,
it was
great
to see
her
face
to face
finally
and
Mary
was
thrilled
to see
her
again.
Kate
gave
her
some
lovely
gifts,
which
have
to stay
on her
bed
all
the
time
now!
Mary
has
now
progressed
from
the
single
chair
to a
3 seater
sofa,
I have
added
a duvet
and
a cushion
and
she
is in
her
element
and
as the
sofa
is now
under
the
window
at home,
so she
normally
either
stretches
out
to sleep
and
watch
telly
or sits
and
looks
out
of the
window!
She
loves
cuddles
and
gets
upset
when
I say
hello
to Bob
first
when
I get
in from
work!
We leave
near
a large
common
which
is where
the
rabbits
live!
We walk
around
the
common
every
day
and
she
is getting
better
and
better
with
the
rabbits.
She
is still
a little
unsure
of small
dogs,
but
a slow
meet
seems
to working
well
at the
moment
and
she
is a
lot
more
understanding
now
of animals
that
are
smaller
than
her.
She
is very
vocal
and
appears
to chat
to us
a lot,
by making
strange
whining
noises.
One
of her
favourite
things
is when
I get
in from
work,
I sit
on the
sofa
with
her
and
she
sits
next
to me
and
puts
her
head
under
my chin
for
cuddles!!
She
is a
huge
smiler
and
is always
smiling
when
she
is happy,
I love
the
picture
below
of her
on her
sofa
smiling!
We went
away
to Lowestoft
at the
end
of April
for
a long
weekend;
we went
to the
beach
every
day,
which
she
really
enjoyed!
She
was
not
keen
on the
sea
and
was
quite
confused
by it
as it
kept
moving
towards
her!
Also,
the
fact
that
it was
wet
probably
didn’t
help!!!
It was
her
5th
birthday
on 1st
September,
which
she
did
not
understand,
but
she
had
a lovely
big
chew,
a new
smart
coat
and
a new
duvet
for
her
sofa!
Although
we have
only
had
Mary
for
about
10 months
we could
not
imagine
life
without
her
now,
especially
as she
thinks
she
is human!
We are
so pleased
and
thankful
that
she
is now
with
us and
only
wish
that
we had
enough
room
to help
some
of the
others.
Love,
Sarah,
Bob
&
Mary
