None of our other dogs (even fosters) have ever done it but she takes her job very seriously. How do they come up with these strange habits?

Perry's Mum Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 I don't know - she is the first of mine to do it but obviously thinks it is very important. Gypsy has had her first bath - she hated the water but did not mind being dried. She is now two shades lighter, soft and shiny and smells nicely of Kennel No. 5. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Mulling it over in a "what would I do" sort of way, started to wonder why it is at this stage a need for her to go, or be taken, for walks. Given the walkies purpose aside from mild exercise is a boredom-buster, enrichment, socialising experience. If Gypsy has always been an outside dog, isn't just the challenge/experience/enrichment of learning "inside" as good as a walk from her doggie viewpoint? I'm not saying maintain her indoors for a lifetime, but for now it seems to offer enough of new experiences and learning curves to keep her happy and secure without being bored witless for the time being. If she was happy to meet the dog-washer and accept a bath from a stranger, she doesn't sound needy to get out and about just now to meet people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry's Mum Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 You ,may be right. She liked Phil the dog washer and made friends with a new supermarket delivery man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry's Mum Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 We did not get the foster because he got a new home which is good for him but I do think it would be good for Gypsy to have some livelier company. Might look into taking another one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry's Mum Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Gypsy is now well and truly settled. I get cuddled frequently, especially first thing in the morning when she rushes to beat Bella to be the first to give me a kiss. Thank you allso much for all your help, encouragement and suggestions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry's Mum Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 An update - We lost Bella - she was old and her dementia became too much for her. Now my lovely Gypsy has a brother - Rex - from Australian Koolie Rescue. Rex was a worker but his farmer became too sick to keep his farm. He is about 11 and is an absolute darling - very soft and cuddly. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
