Well, woke up this morning literally stumbling out of bed all dizzy.... interesting head spins!
I have emailed the NSW Kennel Council or Dogs NSW whatever they're called now to complain about the unethical behaviour shown by one of their registered breeders. I have written to said breeder complaining that she broke a contract and acted in an unethical abhorrent manner after we had invested so much, personally, financially, and all of our time wasted - let's face it, I don't have a lot of spare time to waste another 12 hours of my weekends on visiting a dog that isn't going to be mine.
Blah.
Anyhow
onwards and upwards.
Rosa is now Tamsin Starburst - yes, it started out as a joke name, but it kinda suits .... and she comes to it...
We are finding out so much about this poor little chunky monkey. I found a tattoo in her ear the other day which according to my vet means that she has been through the RSPCA or another rescue organisation when she was desexed - they do it so that they don't open them up again if they return to them.
She's afraid of men - sometimes.
We went out to dinner with friends on Saturday night, and when I opened the door I heard a 'thud'. As I walked into the house she rounded the corner and saw me - straight away her tail rammed between her legs and her ears went flat back and she made this mewling sound - she had been up on the bench and thought she was going to get belted. Well. Yes. I am a sucker and you can't chastise a dog when it's after the fact, ie she wasn't caught in the act of being on the bench. Not that I would do anything other than make a loud noise. So, of course when I saw/heard the fear in her, I melted into a gooey pile of slush and gave her welcome home cuddles. The last thing I want or need is for her to feel anything other than totally safe and secure in our home. Poor little angel, I feel she must have suffered a few beltings in her time and she's not a bad dog - just a little misunderstood.
There is much work to be done with her, so not having the puppy coming home so soon is probably a godsend for us - we can really focus on training/socialisation with her until she feels totally safe.
But back to this morning - what a hot day we are going to have! 32 degrees, but WINDY. Tamsin and I went for a run down the beach and had a lovely time splashing through the water.
AND I get to go back to kickboxing tonight - which should be HARD work I am sure.
