Kirty Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wanted to share some pics of my blind foster pup Stevie playing with my friend's Aunty's dog Boris. Boris was also a rescue and had a rough start. These two hit it off immediately and had a great time tearing around the waiting room at work. :) Stevie has been very nervous of meeting strange dogs recently, so I was thrilled with this encounter. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KumaAkita Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I love the blur of Stevie's tail! They look like they had fun :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 How does she go ..not being able to see body language?Does she make mistakes in interpretation ? I guess she can compensate by listening to breathing rate ... and the difference between open mouth, and nasal . I wonder if she also uses footsteps..the difference between a relaxed step, and a carefully controlled 'tiptoes' ? She is looking wonderful!

Kirty Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Pers, she is always very cautious and tentative at first which is why I am only letting her meet dogs that I know are friendly! I don't want her to have any bad experiences! Once she has met the dog and feels comfortable, she usually offers up play. :) And once they are playing, she is like a normal dog. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spotted Devil Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Great job Kirty Hmmmm.....Stevie's foster status reminds me of Dizzy's ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's amazing how she is looking directly at the pug as well. I also think you are doing a brilliant job with this girl Kirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 It's amazing how she is looking directly at the pug as well. I also think you are doing a brilliant job with this girl Kirty. My thoughts too, PS. The only one where Stevie looks a little 'lost' is in the 3rd photo from the top - in that one, she's poised, you can tell she's off as far as orientation is concerned, but you can see she's using her ears. I would suggest the Pug helped her out a bit. Good work Kirty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan's Mum Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Is it too early to nominate for MDBA? Kirty you are doing such a fantastic job with Stevie. It really is heart-warming to see and read all the work you are putting into her, and how you are going about training her.
