Sooo proud of my pup . . .

[shivvy]

I am so, so proud of my pup. Tonight she passed her Kennel Club Bronze Award. I am so very proud of her! She is a rescue girl so it hasn't been easy. Here she is . . . http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn146/shivv y_photos/

My dog, Hamish is also rescued. He's not as clever as Bella, but I can't fault him - except maybe that he whinges a lot!

Well done, thats great, she is gorgeous, she looks just like the dog from the Orio cookie advert.

Thanks Sir Alec, lindapinda and Illyria54.

I just couldn't resist showing the clever little article off!

However, in my excitement, I decided to sign her up for the Silver Award so the hard work continues!

Ah shivvy I remember Bella well :) You posted a piccy a wee while ago. Thrilled to hear she is doing so well-she has obviously captured your heart, and you hers! Give her a big well done from me and Jack (our Collie) xx

[shivvy]

Ah thanks leelapops, cruella and bigmamma.

Although she looks as if butter wouldn't melt, and after her doing so well last night, she has been a complete nutjob today! The joy of having a pup!

[Kleiber]

Nice one, shivvy!! Well done to you both! K xx

[lankeela]

How did you get on opening her mouth?

[shivvy]

Thanks Kleiber.
Lankeela - I think I had been making the mistake of trying to lift her top jaw upwards instead of moving her bottom jaw downwards - oops! Once I corrected that and practiced it every day, it got a bit easier. I would say that she still isn't keen but hopefully it will get easier on her in time.
