I'm Ill = Lack of Updates

Yep, sorry about that. Come down with a really bad cold and being kinda busy with Tinks and work and what not. Anyway Tinks arrived the other day and what a quiet young girl she is. Considering she has jack russel in her she doesn't act like one at all and I've only just heard her bark today. I'm unsure of what she is crossed with to be honest, maybe you could post your suggestions because at the moment, as I've said before, she's just part Yoda. Tinks is a young girl, only 20 months old, and she is very shy. Her old owners only had her a couple of months and didn't know her history but she is very wary around new people and doesn't like it if you raise your voice - I haven't by the way, my dad just talks very loud. Once she's got to know you though she'll follow you around like a little shadow and will cuddle up to you in bed.


Tinks is okay being left for a few hours at a time, haven't left her any longer yet but she's not being destructive and appears to be fully housetrained. When I've come back home though she'll greet you so happily and will jump up to get some attention. However I think Tinks would need another doggy friend if she's to be left just to keep her company and make her feel like she hasn't totally being abandoned as in her old home, where there was no other dogs, she didn't like being left . She's really good with Sally, and isn't phased by her when she barks. Sally isn't even bothered by her and loves to play football with her in the garden. I've already caught a video of these 2 together the first day she was here. She was really in her element in the garden and looks so happy and confident. I think Tinks would be best with a large secure garden in her new home so she can run and play. Tinks also loves her walks and walks very well on the lead and doesn't pull unless she sees a cat... think thats the jack russel in her lol. 


Tinks does need some basic training still, she does respond to her name however can get distracted. I don't think it would be best to let her off lead until this has been improved and shes settled with you. I'll add pictures later when my camera decides to reappear :)
