Happy New Year

Firstly I'd like to apologise for my lack of postings over the past month. The rescue is often very quiet over the Christmas period in terms of rehoming and we all had a small break over Christmas meaning phone calls have not been answered unless its an emergency. A few dogs will be moving on to their new homes for the new year. Unfortunately Rosie is still with us with nobody registering interest in adopting her. New year new home for Rosie we hope. 

We all had a lovely Christmas here, Rosie enjoyed her first Christmas in a home as part of a family. She opened her presents in the morning then enjoyed chewing on her Christmas hoof before going to steal a pigs ear out of everybodies gift bag. She is such a little thief but when she gives you her special mischievous look with a tilted head you can't help but love her.

Boxing day brought snow to West Yorkshire and Rosie absolutely loved it. She was constantly running around the garden trying to play rolling around and digging her nose in the snow. She even thought it would give her the height to attempt to jump the fence again but if she knows shes been watched she won't even try. I kind of hope the New Year brings more snow to see the pure joy on Rosies face when the snow is deep.

Rosie is doing very well on the housetraining front, she now only has accidents when she is left, even for the smallest amount of time which we think is due to stress. Rosie loves to go out now which is a change from when she first came and really is an explorer, sniffing absolutely everywhere. New Year started with a fright for Rosie with her fear of fireworks. It was horrible seeing my sweet foster girl trembling and trying to get behind the sofa she was so scared. Tinks joined her though and tried to sit underneath her so they were scared together. Rosie does amaze me, even though her breed suggests she is a hunting dog Rosie is perfect with other dogs, she will just sniff quietly and if they try to play she lets them. She has only had a go at Binx and Sally once when they were trying to eat under her nose, and I can't say I blame her. She didn't bite, just barked at them to go away. Fingers crossed they have learnt their lesson. 

So my last message will be to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and please think could you offer a forever home this year, could you be Rosies forever owner, her forever sofa, her companion and could you have her as your own for the rest of her life 

Lucy, Tinks, Mr Binx, Sally and Rosie x
