Meet Judy, the little girl I mentioned yesterday. Judy was such a good girl last night. She sleeps in her basket at night, which is in my room just for comfort. She did come in my bed for a cuddle but decided she'd prefer to be in her own bed. Judy is so lovely, apparently she walks really well on the lead as well, don't think I'd risk taking her off though due to her lack of hearing although she always comes to you if you beckon her forward with a 'come' hand signal.. that is if shes looking at you. Judy is very well housetrained and has had no accidents, she doesn't ask to go out in any way but she will hold it until shes outside. Last night she didn't seem to want to go out on her own, this may have been due to the dark but I don't know. However when my dog went out she was fine. As for her and Sally, Sally has tried to calmly sniff her but she does show her teeth and growl a little but I feel this is just a warning. As explained yesterday Judy came to us as the previous fosterers dog did not get along with her, Judy has a couple of marks on her face where I think the other dog has bitten her but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. She is a bit off when you touch one side of her nose cause of a little nip there and there is one just above her eye. Theres also one on her hind leg. None are that bad tbh but I think they've made her wary of other dogs.
After reading Judys registration form I found out the poor girl had been with her last owners all her life so it kind of explains her nervous behaviour. Poor Judy even cowered when I tried to give her a sit hand sign to see if she knew that (she didn't) It does make me think but who am I to judge? Judy is much better today and starting to explore a little bit and get used to her surroundings, at the moment she's trying to sniff out a cat in the garden adjoining to me. Judy is a very quiet dog and I've only heard her bark once when I came home today, maybe again this is due to her lack of hearing.
So Judy needs a loving home, one where they can spend time getting to know her, one which just wants a calm, loyal dog who will love them dearly after she's got to know them and be at their heels most of the time. Judy acts a lot older than her actual 6 years but that isn't such a bad thing if like I said your wanting a lovely calm dog. She would suit a quiet calm family who will love her for who she is, preferably as the only dog but I feel she could live with a quiet older dog as she is doing just that at the moment and is fine as long as she doesnt get too in her face.
Thats all for now,
Lucy and
