An update on Millie
« on: February 25, 2009, 03:22:55 am »
The queen bee has found her throne!  I got a call from Kara last night to let us know how she was doing.
She is eating way better than she was here.  She hasnt growled, snipped or bitten any of the other dogs there or humans,  even during rough play.
She actually sleeps in her crate and crates without the constant whinning and barking.
She still barks her fool head off though when new people get there but they are working on that(none of Kara's other 4 barked non-stop when I was there).
She is also now going to a doggy daycare and finishing up her classes and is doing great with the smaller dogs but freaks when she see's the big ones.
Kara didnt say it but from the way she talked about  her I think, no I KNOW, Millie was very stressed here at our house.
cant say I blame her,  im pretty stressed here sometimes...lo l!
Baileigh did better than I thought she would, she shed some tears but it was short lived after her sister had a talk with her.  I just hope Tyler didnt make any promises I cant keep.
I feel better about it all now knowing that millie is doing so much better.
Oh, and she hasnt had one single accident since she has been there!!
The trainer called me too and offered me a partial refund on Millie's training because we didnt finish it but im gonna apply it to some socialization and refresher classes for Kira and Gunner.   They both seem to have forgotten the command "stay" lately.
Thanks again guys for the support.

Wow, sounds like a win win situation for everyone. I bet hearing how well she's adjusted has relieved a great burden off your heart knowing you did the right thing.

Thank goodness for Kara and a great trainer to help you get this all settled.

Yea! :D :D

Isn't it wonderful when you get the confirmation that the so very difficult, heart wrenching and necessary decision you had to make, turned out to be the absolute right thing to do?  Relief... and it eases the pain and makes the healing easier and faster.  :'(  :-\  :)

Oh I'm so glad that everything is working out well for Millie.  I know that you feel so much better just knowing that she's less stressed in her new home.
