Hello

Hi there,

This is my first post and it has got to cover a very exciting week!

I'd been hauled up in isolation at the Dog's Trust in Honiley for a while with a bit of a cough so I wasn't getting much company.

Then these humans came along and wanted to say hello.

SHE was nice, but HIM - well I had a sniff and quite frankly didn't like the smell. So I gave HIM a good bark - nothing less than HE deserved.

HE didn't seem to want to go away though. So I thought I'd give HIM another chance. No good - HE still needed barking at.

Went and had a sit next to HER. SHE liked to fuss me a bit so SHE can't be completely dumb. HIM though. Hmmph.

They were talking to my carer about my weight - so rude. They seemed to be suggesting that I might be a little bit on the plump side. Nothing wrong with 42 kilos - a girls got to eat. Not my fault I've not had much exercise in the past, and those treats are soooo tasty. And anyway I'd be wasting away at 30 kilos. Stupid humans!

They all left my kennel for a bit then my carer came back with a lead and a handful of what looked a lot like treaty things. How exciting! And then HE came back in. HE walked me round my enclosure for a bit, and gave me some treats.

I guess HE's not so bad after all so I thought I'd let HIM give me a little bit of attention - you have to reward these humans when they do things right you know. And HE seemed to like it. Clever human.

And then they went away muttering something about fence checks, pre-adoption talks, reserving and procedures.

Interesting...

Cough must have been getting better as I got moved out of the prison kennels the other day. I'm not sure why but there seems to be a lot of excitement in this new area. Hmmm.

And then yesterday HE came back. I pretended not to be too excited to see HIM. You cant set false expectations for these Humans - they are simple things and it wouldn't be fair.

We went to the meet and great area and HE took me for a nice walk. I thought I better test HIM out so I pulled quite hard on the lead. HE seemed fairly sturdy though I don't think HE's ever had to deal with as much lady as me before - ha ha.

And then HE ran with me up and down the area. Well, that was a LOT of fun, but probably as much exercise as any dog would want (nothing to do with being a little bit unfit you know - really). So I thought I would lead HIM back to the gate.

HE took me round to reception via lots of good sniffing areas and was talking to all the lovely humans who work there about me.

They all like me very much - I can tell from all the attention and food. What more could a girl ask for? Well - more food really but they seem to keep using this funny "diet" word. Weird lot humans...

Anyway - back to HIM. HE seemed to like me a lot too. I guess HE's not so bad. I get the feeling I shall be seeing more of HIM soon...

Bella out.

Sleeping and barking and eating and barking and sniffing and barking to do...
