Day two with Tina, she is a delightful little dog, even
though its early days, yet already the three dogs seem to be working things out
between them.
Marleen has let Tina know she is the top dog, Cyril had
a wobble yesterday, he got worried and insecure, but a visit to the pet shop
for tripe, dry tripe chews as well as new toys soon cheered him up.
This morning Richie got up early, to take the dogs to
the park, when they returned Marleen, Cyril and Tina were very happy dogs.
They ran around jumping into dog beds, and then back
out again, all at top speed, almost like whirling dervishes, they kept this up
for more than 30 minutes
Tina had to be introduced to dog beds, yesterday she immediately
wanted to sit on the sofa and chew her smelly tripe chew, she didn’t understand,
she does today.
The next thing is to get her totally house trained, at
the moment she has not made the connection between going out to the dog toilet and
peeing or pooling.
This afternoon she came back from the dog toilet and
had a pee, then a poo under the table in the front room.
I am sure Richie will be able to help Tina make the connection
soon, she is a clever wee dog, will soon be house trained.
The good news is Tina likes us all, she has started to
defend the house by barking at potential intruders, I am so happy she has made
her mind up that this is her new home.
