Thank you Denise, that means a lot actually. I do think having done that course at Unitec makes a big difference as it makes me more in tune with their body language. She is such a sweet dog and would be loving to whoever adopts her, extremely loyal and affectionate also.
I'm so happy to be a part of that transition for her, and hope to do so for more dogs in the future.

Fantastic photo's, brings a smile to my face. It also reminds me of one baby I fostered here last Christmas. She was 11/12 yrs of age(correct me if I am wrong on age Denise) and just loved the water. She would jump like a spring chicken with the hose and buckets of water. She brought much joy, just as I can see little Jessie is doing also.
Thanks for sharing the photos

Cheers All

Hey everyone,

Went out to Port Waikato yesterday afternoon and took lil Jess with me for a run at the beach. So many pictures I took that I cannot add them here.
But here's the link to her very own album if you want to have a look.

Looks like she had a great time.... and so did you!!!

She would definitely suit being near the beach! Kept her reasonably close as thought she would disappear into the surf swimming! And I'm not that confident in the water myself.

WOW - fantastic photos! Are you sure Amber is going to be able to part with Jessie!! I bet Jessie was tuckered out when she got home!

I've explained to Amber how it works with fostering a dog and that eventually she will go to a new home. She understands that and did say to me.."At least we know she will go to a good home.." Very proud of that remark!
Yes, Jess was shattered after that. Stopped at Cobourne's (sp) Gardens for a drink and by the time we got home, it was pretty much bedtime lol.
And she has been extremely good today. No quirks of hers today!

Hmmm busy day, no 'quirks' - maybe all she needs is mind games and activity to take her mind off her tail - or lack of.

I think so. She's been quite tired today, probably a bit of 'lag' from yesterday at the beach and has been lying quietly inside while I did the housework.

Hey everyone,

New update on lil miss Jess. More photos including her swimming abilities and her new toys.
They are added to her photobucket album so same link but will add it anyway.
Enjoy!
