Skye came as a foster, but she will be staying! She is fitting in so well and although blooming hard work, she is great fun and doing fine.
Skye has been doing great since her arrival. Although Jesse wasn't too happy with her to start off with, within days he was no problem and now quite likes her. :-)
Flash's play with her is way too rough... he has forgotten how to play with dogs :-( He needs to learn again. Dylan also does his mad chasing, barking, scruffing play which I am also stopping as I don't want Skye to play like that with other dogs.
She is socialising well with dogs in the park, eventhough she got attacked by a small terrier last week. She has bounced back quickly though and is now happy to approach dogs again.
I took her to agility last Sunday where she got to mix in a large group of dogs off lead and she really enjoyed it.
She has started teething last week and has now a couple of adult teeth in the front. She is also chewing all the time at the moment, so has started on the carpet in the kitchen (not a problem) despite getting a stuffed kong every time I go out or Emily leaves them. Emily comes in twice at the moment until she is a bit older and although it is of course a long time to be on her own for a puppy (or any dog for that matte), Skye seems to cope well when getting a morning and evening walk to play and run off some energy.
I am doing lots of training in the park with her to teach her to stay close and listen even when her spaniel nose engages. She is doing well and enjoys the clicker training in the house and garden. Although she isn't quite as keen yet as say Jesse and she loses concentration a lot quicker than he used to, she is doing well considering I have only started clickering with her last week.
Here are the first pictures I took of the little girl.
And with the boys
