and a little wee. I think maybe she is a bit dehydrated hence why only a small tiddle.We walked around the field and the other 3 occasionally came over and said hello nicely to her and she even broke into a run for a few strides...then laid down
She had a big drink of water when we got back to the car.
She is SO unfit, and it was a shock walking at bassett pace
I hope she speeds up a little when she gets fitter!!She even had a wander around the garden when we got back, and is now sleeping it off in her crate, processing it all no doubt.
Now that she's slowly exploring the garden, it's another positive step in the right direction.
She'll get there - given that all important space and time to settle in.

Well, piglet has obviously settled in now and is brave! The cat came in the door and pig just launched for her, it was a full on attempt at attacking her, i managed to get my arm in between and got quite a nasty bite from pig. I do believe she didnt intend to bite me, she had a mouthful of cat fur too, and to top it off i bore the brunt of the cats claws
The cat does live upstairs mainly and only comes downstairs to use the door to get out (my other dogs stalk her).
Any advice/ideas of how to work this out....i dont expect her to be perfect with the cat but would like her to eventually get to the point where she doesnt actually want to kill her.

their personalities really change as they settle in - hopefully you can get things sorted really quickly and everyone can live in peace

the fast movement seems to trigger excitement/chasing or did in my beagles case they never hurt the cats though just pinned them down sometimes, to sniff at them much to the cats disgust! I'm afraid you're going to need eyes in the back of your head for a while and try to monitor any time they are in the same room together,keep them seperate if you are not there. As she likes food maybe leash her while the cat is about and if she goes to get the cat correct her and treat if she leaves the cat alone? good luck.x
