Tia's fosterer has posted a daily update on her progress below ...
"A good night for Tia, she is a clean dog. Slept from 10 pm to 6.30 am when I woke her for the toilet. During the day she has slept most of the time. Only one short walk this morning as it rained later, so she has been mooching in the garden in the dry spells. Loves food and eats too fast so have spilt her meals up into 4. Tia loves dinners as well! You can see her watching the saucepan. Her skin on the back of her legs is dry but I am creaming a couple of times a day. She smiles and has settled very quickly.
Tia thanks Auntie Ros for her goodie bag of tinned food, chicken, biscuits, chews, cream for her skin and cod liver oil! Ros is a very supportive friend to me.
P.S. we don't tell any guests that Tia saves on the washing up by cleaning out the saucepan

Tia was very off this morning. I let her outside, her little back legs stumbling, got her back in and she just dropped in the porch, didn’t want a treat, her breathing was much faster and she panted heavily. After an hour she got on her bed and slept. Woke up and then ate chicken stew, very tired all day so just let her chill and walk in the garden. A couple of friends called, Tia is winning hearts! Before she goes to bed she lifts her paw to say, don’t forget my treats, those teddy biscuits taste nice had a nibble myself! Snore, never ever have I heard a dog snore so loud.
Sorry the photos are not outside but don’t want her in the cold as she will lie on the block paving. I call the one pose the Tia ‘Linda Lusardi’ pose. I’m not used to all this full frontal nudity

Poor Tia had another turn at 5am; she woke me by rattling the child gate. Heavy breathing, panting, wobbly legs, after an hour passed over. I am puzzled. Today Tia has had 2 short walks, plenty of mooching outside, she’s eating well, enjoying her food and welcoming visitors.
She is also getting her feet under the table
and my face is cleaner than it’s ever been, who needs moisturizer
After chatting to Karen about Tia’s health, I had a slight change of tactics to see what Tia was like first thing in the morning. I woke 4.30am, and woke Tia with dirty looks, she went outside and then slept on, so no problems with breathing/panting this morning. 3 short walks today and a woofing session outside. We have met a couple of spaniels. Tia does pull to say hello and smell. I shopped to find on my return Ros and Anna having coffee and Tia watching them (Ros has her own key) Tia welcomed her. Perhaps Lynne could add to her advert, 'excellent guard dog'
