Do you think she’s trying to tell me something...
“Put that laptop and tablet away and cuddle me “ perhaps !!!

She is laying on the phone, my mobile, the TV remotes and my camera !!!

Tia is so the character ! She will do a bark or a high pitches squeak to tell me something, be that her water bowl is empty, she wants to go outside, she wants something to eat !!!, it’s dinner time or simply cuddle me now !!!

I promised her I would finish at 6, she was very happy when we moved onto the sofa ...

Bless her, she’s been a good girl today - prefers to be centre of your world but she did let me get on with my work very well and it has been a boring day for her !

I got the occasion bark when she wanted a proper cuddle ! She needs proper love rather than a pat on her head ! Paws round your neck kinda love love4.gif
I did make sure she got outside quite frequently in to the garden for a change of scene and a bit of ball chase before it got too hot. Tia has got great at fetch and giving up the ball to go again :D
There was some noisy work going on in the garage a few doors down from my garden which she could hear which unnerved her a little - happy to be reassured by me and soon settled but strange noises do still startle her bless.
She also loves the treat ball filled with treats - very clever and got them out very quickly but it kept her occupied for a short while at least !!!

We had an early morning walk and and evening walk in the cool breeze - Tia gets sooo excited by the appearance of her harness and seems to enjoy her walks - some uncertainty there I think as she often looks for reassurance and that beautiful tail that wags so well at home does stay between her legs. She is always delighted to get back home and knows my house now, the moment we are in the porch her tail wags like mad !!!
We passed a few dogs on our walk, all on lead and a safe distance away, Tia didn’t seem bothered by them, neither interested to meet nor worried by them, quite indifferent. Tia isn’t worried by passing cars, joggers or vans - takes all that in her stride very well.

This was her this evening as I was eating my dinner (on a tray on my lap) - she just loves to be close to you - she certainly loves her people love4.gif
Paws on my feet, bless xxx
Paws on my feet, bless xxx
We’re relaxing again now watching football and now tennis ! Tia non-plussed by the sport but happy to be with me !

Tia is back to kennels in the morning, she doesn’t know so will enjoy another nice relaxing sleep on my bed tonight :D
I think she’s wagging her tail in her sleep right now !!! Legs have been twitching and then her tail started, love that she’s having nice dreams xxx

Tia is doing fantastic. She is getting lots of walks and her confidence is growing all the time. When I entered her kennel this afternoon she did a happy dance. It was lovely to see her so joyful, anticipating her walk. Walks with Tia are calm and gentle. She always does her toileting first and then gets on with the business of enjoying her walk. She likes to stay close to me and she checked out all that was going on around the kennels today, saying hello to all she met, especially Ella who she was hoping would share her lunch. No such luck Tia, sweetie, but she does always get a special treat in her kennel after a walk and some cuddles.

Tia was a little nervous when I went to say hello and take her for a walk . (we hadn't met before) With gentle coaxing we were off . She was a little reluctant to go very far but when we got to the woods she perked up and trotted along beside me.
Tia has the most stunningly beautiful face its so unusual .
She is soft and gentle and you can't help but fall in love with her . I'm totally smitten . Lovely , Lovely, Lovely.xxxx

I had a lovely walk again this morning with Tia. She did her happy dance and lots of wiggling when I entered her kennel. Yes her nerves are still present and she will try and take the paths going back to the kennels, but with a confident, jolly, encouraging voice you can keep her walking on. We did walk down to the stream and Tia got her paws wet today- just!. Bless her, she loves to be with you, she just needs you to tell her everything is OK. love4.gif

Sundance had a date with Tia today. The two dogs got on wonderfully, so we let them walk together and socialise. After a couple of sniffs, Sundance was not that interested in Tia as he was so busy checking out all the smells along the way. Tia wanted to be by his side and enjoyed having a canine companion to walk with, Sundance just took it all in his stride. Tia was as cool as a cucumber throughout the walk but she definitely has more confident walking with another dog.

Tia had another lovely sociable walk yesterday, this time with Missie. Missie is a kind girl who seems to get along with all the dogs and Tia was very keen to walk close to her but polite enough not to crowd her or invade her space. Missie in return looked out for Tia and waited if she got left behind. You can feel and see how much more confident Tia is on her walks when she has a canine companion by her side. Stuart who was walking Missie hit the nail on the head when he said "Tia knows that Missie will look after her".
