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.

Arg, what a nightmare! I don't know if the fact that they were your own sheep makes that marginally better or even worse. I hope the ewes are OK, and that re-training goes well. Sounds like he has an absolute pile of the right instincts but totally misdirected?

Thankfully B has not got that level of chase instinct. He still has yet to catch a rabbit, although he's certainly had plenty of opportunity! I'm not sure he actually wants to catch them. I have a feeling that he may just really really want to run about with them and make friends. World's softest dog, honestly :-D
