I am not sure what Shula makes of having Sky around, mostly she is patient. I think this little dog is going to be a real challenge, she wants to be friendly but just doesn't have the courage.
Yesterday I put the fence back temporarily as I am worried that if Sky panics she will go through the hedge.
Mostly I keep a long lead trailing behind her when she is in the garden. This is because although she follows me about she stays just out of arms length, this is very frustrating when you want her to come in straight away.
I went round to see a friend early evening taking both dogs with me. We sat chatting in the garden and both dogs lay down and were good. My friend made a fuss of Shula but ignored Sky as she was a bit panicky to start with. I have decided to take her wherever I take Shula and just ask people to ignore her until she makes the first move.
This morning we went for a walk, she is getting better walking on the lead, yesterday it was a bit like walking a crab, all sideways with her belly glued to the floor. We only had a couple of panics, once when someone walked towards us and then when a car passed, but on the whole not too bad.
Later in the evening I watched television with Pippa, Shula and Sky on the sofa with me. When I went to bed they all came up. I made Shula and Sky go to their own beds but didn't have that luck with Pippa who spent the night glued to my side.
I haven't seen Tich since I got home and am a little worried about him.
