I had to bring you up to date on the progress of our little princess Ceres, for it's after her first anniversary with us, and it feels like she's always been here. We are amazed daily when we watch her and interact with her- just how far she's come.
It's incredible that she was considered unadoptable at one point, for a more loving and content dog there never was! It brings tears to our eyes as we realize what a unique personality was hidden among her fears. Her tail never stops wagging, she plays incessantly with her meriad of toys and personal treasures - like my slippers and Marts' old work shirt.
She goes off to her crate like clockwork every night and any time after midnight when either of gets up, she joins us on the bed and sleeps with her chin on my shoulder, or even on my cheek sometimes. We go" walkies " every day the weather permits, and she dutifully does her business, often she decides she wants to run - almost pulling whoever has the leashes off their feet.
Her joy is absolutely infectious, and it took her months before we discovered she has a voice and will chat at great length with us. Her favourite game is belly rub and she's always willing to come on the couch where she flips over on her back to get her way. We love her to distraction - I guess you figured that out! and our only wish would be for a little brother for her.
Oh yes, she travels like a dream - quietly in her crate whenever we put her there, never barks in hotel rooms or our relatives homes, and we just introduced her to boating which she took to like a duck to water. Just yet we don't know if she's a swimmer, I plan to explore that soon.
All in all, the miracle of her has charmed our lives, and we consider her a precious gift from heaven come to replace the two other Cairns we loved and lost. Just had to share that sucess story of a sad scared little dog who was like the butterfly coming out of a cocoon.
I'm hoping within a few months we can introduce her to a little boy foster with the aim of adopting another rescue - I'm keeping my fingers crossed she'll accept a playmate now that she's secure here.
Thanks to all the Colonel Potter folk who made her rescue and survival possible!
