Indie update

[Ruth61]

Thought I'd share Indie's progress over the last few weeks.
We have found out that she can't half jump - a 7ft stone wall is no problem to her with a good run up! Unfortunately it happens to be alongside the railway line - fortunately she is very good on recall. Several grey hairs later .....
She gets a fantastic two hour walk every morning, mostly off leash in our local estate park - lots of woods, mud, a stream and fields she can play around in. She loves it and loves all her doggie friends
She loves to play hide and seek with her ball in the woods - that is, she hides the ball and we have to find it - she's very kind and gives us helpful clues like lying down and pointing her body in the right direction We're very fit now lol.
She also loves jumping into the stream to chase sticks - this is a new game for her and has the benefit of cleaning her up a bit before going back to the car
Indie has always hated being on the lead - she is very nervous of all sorts of situations and being off leash has made her feel able to run to a safe place. But we want to be able to walk her anywhere in safety so we've been experimenting with different configurations of leads etc. whoopee - we've found the Halti neck collar and lead - we are finally getting somewhere. A mile and a half on the lead today - yay Indie over the next two weeks we plan to get her acclimatised to walking in our immediate locality and then progress to the prom - fingers crossed

Indie seems to be a bundle of fun & mischief and it sounds she's coming on really well - didn't you have to carry her home first time out?
It's great to hear about her progress,and of course great to see it too (hint... )
Well done Indie!

Great update

I really laughed at the bit where she hides the ball then lies down and gives you a clue

Bless her, she's doing really well with your help, and is obviously enjoying a wonderful life with you.

Keep the updates coming.

I keep trying to get an updated image of her in action, so to speak, but she's like a streak of lightening - all my images are so blurred
The only good one I have is of her chewing up a plastic milk carton - great for saving our skirting boards but it's no action shot. I'll keep trying

I hope this works - it should be a pic of Indie in the woods on one of her long walks. She's grown in the past three months and is gaining confidence all the time. Still a very wilful juvenile at the moment though lol.

Lovely pic of Indie in the woods. If you edit your post so that only one [img] at each end then the pic should show in the text!

So at beginning you should have [img]
at the end you should have [/img]

But well done on even working out this complicated system.

Thanks Jane. I searched the forum for the instructions again, so hopefully got it right this time
This should show the little princess concentrating on her favourite activity - total destruction - in this case a milk carton
