 A Sad History Perhaps
We've had our little 23 week old girl seven days now. She's healthy, but has maybe had a mixed history. We bought her from a young girl in a stunning residence, who said she needed reforming as she had become too much for her nan to handle. However we were aware of puppies also bing for sale here also! Apart from the normal traits of boisterous mad half hours and enigmatic toilet practices, she seems perfectly normal. However today after being naughty on the carpet we shut her in a pen with her new 'Rascal' toilet box for the first time.
What a sad face, she never cried or complained, but got in her little basket and just seemed resigned to endure. When we let her out after about an hour, she slunk into her carry case, that up to now she'd shunned and lay head down looking the model of pity. We've noticed she doesn't like coming to a summons, no matter how happy and reassuring the greeting, but cowers and scampers until eventually we manage to corner her, pick her up and cuddle her. Ehe's also terrified of the outside world and scampers behind us, tail between hr legs. When we pick her up outside, she literally shakes with fear. Perhaps the old lady, (if there was one) used to scold and remonstrate physically? Alternatively she' so affectionate that maybe the change from that previous environment has been more stressful than we can imagine?
Any experiences, we'd love to hear them please? |
