Well we have great news from our Fun Day! Marie & Lee had a fundraising stall for us at the event and they met Cassie and thought they could give a short term foster break in with their pack of 4! Cassie went to meet them and here is an update:

“So here's the thing...!

When Lee and I met Cassie at the RR Fun Day she touched our hearts as I know she did with many of you, forum and non-forum members alike, well, how could she not - with her kind, gentle nature, those piercing brown eyes not to mention those long lucious lashes - I know women who would kill for lashes like that!!! I'm one of 'em!

After the fun day we talked about her a lot and the result; she's now officially on annual leave from the kennels and having a little vacation with us. We picked her up after a long walk and a successful introduction to our pack.

Considering Cassie has been in kennels for most of her life she has adapted brilliantly to a home environment, nothing phases this girl, not the washing machine, not the dishwasher, not the vacuum cleaner, not even all the buzzers and dingers that go off on all todays modern appliances.

She's been with us for just over a week and hasn't had one accident in the house. She has no issues with food or toys and has settled with our pack like she's been with them for years.

She's very energetic and loves to play in the garden with my dogs, especially Lilly, but like all dogs; foster or 'vacation' dogs, she must by kept on a lead when walked so she does pull on the lead but listens really well to command and will walk to heal when corrected. She would benefit from some regular training.

Like all staffies she loves to love and just wants to please. She adores a cuddle and, of course, a lap to lay on. It's the staffy way!!!

This little lady is a true gem and an absolute joy to have around! For the life of me I can't understand why she is still in kennels.

I've put some pics on of her first few days with us - Enjoy!

Look into my eyes...

***STOP PRESS****STOP PRESS****STOP PRESS****

Cassie has now been in foster for 3 weeks and Marie took her to a dog training class last week and would you believe it;

“the class were only doing their 'Bronze' training award so Cassie and Marie decided to join in. Cassie was the ONLY dog in the class to do a 1 minute sit stay and a 1 minute down stay first time around.... Way to go Cass...

In fact, she did everything including a recall on a long lead, two tricks which consisted of giving me paws (one at a time lol!) and a crawl. She gave eye contact when asked to 'look' and walked beautifully on the lead although I did use a gentle leader. With lots of practice she will get the hang of heal work no problem, after all, this girl is a very intelligent girl, very intelligent indeed!

The result: Cassie passed everything apart from the 'send away' - (sending her to a mat/bed), she got close but just wasn't close enough to the bed bless her!

BUT.... On the 'Bronze' award dogs are allowed one fail which means Cassie is now the proud recipient of a 'BEST FRIENDS' BRONZE TRAINING CERTIFICATE..... whao hoo!!!

NOT BAD FOR A LITTLE LADY WHO HAS BEEN IN KENNELS FOR MOST OF HER LIFE AND NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF FORMAL TRAINING EH!!!

WELL DONE CAS - YOU ARE TRULY AN AMAZING GIRL! XXXXX

Met some old friends today ... here is a very special girl looking radiant and in beautiful condition. Her coat was shining and she looks so fit. We have Marie & Lee, her long term fosterers, to thank for that. Here's hoping someone steps up to home her and continues their work.
