Hmmm....I was not very happy when daughter decided to have a rescue dog......but having been in her place for a week I can appreciate what she is doing. Isla is 7 but has had 7 years of neglect, on the streets of another country and in a 'shelter'.....basic is overstating the fact. Now, still anxious at many times, and not sure of me .....she is very gentle and at ease with Susannah and her housemates and even playful at times.
Her bright eyes and shiny coat show she is well cared for, and hopefully she will be able to venture out for a little walk before too long.
Three good things
1. Lovely welcome back from my colleagues
2. Cosy clothes for chilly days.
3. Grateful to have only experienced the edges of storm Ciara.
Great textures in this photo. Isla looks like a sweetie and your photo captures both her apprehension and hopefulness (or at least that's my interpretation of her look).
Aw lovely to see her settling in slowly & getting more confidence. Rescue dogs aren’t fir everyone but so rewarding when it works. My niece has one its been a slow job but lovely to see her now.
Isla is a lovely dog, but still so nervous around new people. Hopefully she will be more relaxed and trusting as the weeks pass.it all takes time.
