Update On Mya (k9angel's Rescue)

[teekay]

Gosh how fast have those 2 weeks gone.

Mya is settling in nicely. She and Jenna appear to be getting on fine. Jenna keeps taking her toys to Mya and dropping them on her head. It's hilarious. They have had a few tussles but it all seems to be play based. I've never had 2 dogs before so it was a bit hard at first, to tell if they were fighting or playing, but they each come back for more and there are no yelps or menacing growls involved, so I think it's all good.

We had a dreadful scare the first week. We'd only had Mya about 4 days and she manged to climb the back fence and escape. She was having a wonderful time chasing the farmer's cows in the field behind us while we tried to catch her. Fortunately the flooding around us helped, she marooned herself on this lump of ground and hubby waded nearly waist deep in water to get her. Scary scary times. The farmer had sent someone to go and get his gun so not something I want to repeat. We have erected a more secure fence but I am paranoid now and keep looking at my 6ft fences thinking "she could get over that if she really wanted to". She just so springy when she gets excited. I've never seen a dog jump as high and as far as Mya. We are looking into the 'invisible fences' at the moment. Anything to keep her safe.

She was a bit reluctant to eat at first but is now eating much better. She lost a little bit of weight in the first week but has put it back on now. :D

She is a pleasure to walk, unfortunately my Jenna aka 'fluffy bum' does have a tendency to get a bit excited when I walk them together but mostly it's all good. It's been so wet up here lately but I have taken them out no matter the weather, had a good few soakings but at least it hasn't been baking hot. Unfortunately the garden is a bit flooded and 2 white dogs and a muddy garden isn't much fun LOL

I took Mya for her first trip to the beach 2 days ago. She was a bit unsure to begin with and was pulling away each time a wave came in but after a while she was pulling to go in to the waves so i think it was a hit. Can't wait to go again but it's sooooo windy here at the moment I think the ocean might be a bit wild.

I haven't got round to taking too many photos but here is one I took today

EEEK look at that grass!!!

There is nothing more becoming than 2 happy dogs smiling for the camera... Mya has certainly landed well and truly on her feet... she looks so happy!

I'm glad she's settling in so well.

She's looking great teekay You are in QLD so you can use an electric fence, rig it up to run next to the fence so that she can't get near the fence without zappig herself, I prefer them to have to the invisible fences because they reinforce the existing visual barrier.
