State of the Foster Dogs - 2 and a bit weeks post-amputation. And a Bad Dog.

[bunn]

As assorted people keep saying to me: 'isn't she doing well?'
You will note that Brythen is on the lead. This is because Brythen after several weeks of being a Very Good Dog, was a Bad Dog several times running, culminating in the occasion when he pulled the lead out of my hand a few days ago while road walking, and only came back after
a) I'd convinced myself that he'd tied himself to a tree somewhere deep in the woods and would never be seen again.
b) I'd spent ages rummaging for him through a very overgrown and steep field full of a giant badger set (with many, many holes) and fallen into a hole and cut my leg. And there was an owl.

Brythen is growing up - but alas, he does it in spurts, and then reverts to selective deafness and looking at me sideways with that sneaky 'if she isn't paying much attention I can get away with this!' face.

He doesn't bark though, I suppose that's a boon! The demanding single bark is Az's speciality in our house, and he's 14+ now - so I think I've missed the boat on training that one out! :-D

*sigh*

We weren't sure Bren could bark until he was about ten months old...
