Sky

This is Sky a little dog I am fostering; she is really timid and frightened of people. I am hoping I will be able to overcome this and give her the same confidence I managed with Shula, whether this is possible only time will tell.

I don’t really know anything about her background but think she was found on the campo with another dog. By the way she reacts I think she has been abused because she cringes if you try to stroke her. So far she has been following me around but just keeps out of reach. I have a long lead attached so I can get her if need be but am just ignoring her for the moment giving her time to settle. 

I took the garden fence down a while ago but think I will have to put it back up as she is small enough to go though the hedge. I don’t know what breed she is but she looks a bit like a wire haired Dachshund, Cairn terrier cross. Pat thinks she is about 18 months old, so hopefully young enough to adapt. 

Shula seems fine with the situation, she was really excited to see me when I went to pick her up from Pat, I think she is pleased to be home.

I am not sure what Pippa thinks, she spent yesterday following me around wailing and insisted on lying on top of me all night. Since the dogs have been home she has given up the wailing but is still following me about so I have three little shadows.
