I'm actually strangely looking forward to the vets tomorrow. Hopefully Hollys stitches will be out and she will no longer have to wear that stupid cone. However I'm not looking too positive. The incision still doesn't look completely healed and is a little red in areas after her licking yesterday so maybe they'll just take the stitches out but still make her wear the collar.
Somebody else came to see Holly today. She wasn't interested, due to Hollys age and because Holly was not right for her. I do not only speak for this woman here I speak for everyone. Getting a dog is a big decision. And if your not a 100% certain then maybe its not the best judgement to jump to it straight away. So the woman who came today was really lovely and seemed like she'd be a perfect owner for an active dog but I speak her words and many others here. An person doesn't only choose a dog but the dog chooses the owner. And she felt that wasn't the case with Holly. Holly only ignored the woman as her stitches have been annoying her today and all she wanted to do was lick them. Anyway when she wasn't trying to get to them she was looking at me for some comfort. However she did have a good game of tug o' war with the woman.
Oh Holly why can't you see the people coming to visit are looking to home you and aren't here to do you harm. She has taken to me so much and I feel like I'm leading her on in a strange way but it is my job as a fosterer to make the dog as comfy as possible and treat it like it would be in a home to get a real idea of the dogs behaviour. But Holly takes comfort in me and as much as it is a lovely feeling she needs to detach a little so when people come and visit she will be more comfortable with them.
Holly is the kind of dog who barks like crazy when a stranger comes into your house but when she knows your gentle and not a threat to her she'll take to you just as she did with my boyfriend Dan, and be cuddled up with you within days. It's hard to put across this lovely girl enough to prospective owners. You need to spend some time with her, just 10 minutes or so, and you'll see her for the happy, fun, loving dog she is.
