pointless happy owner thread :-)

Just looked at the dates and I have had Holly exactly a year and a day!! this also makes it her birthday so she goes from being 4ish to 5ish!!
i've been so lucky as she is such as a fantastic dog and we've come so far! when i think back to when I got her and her fear aggression with other dogs etc. the other day we met a gobby collie off lead and she just completely ignored it! as long as she has an escape route she is absolutely fine
also the little things you often take for granted with other dogs like rolling on their back etc, even though she was attached and friendly from day one it took her several months to show her belly at all on her side to now she'll almost lie completely on her back and how she'll give me a little lick when i'm stroking her but this wasn't until 6 months after i got her. still have a few things to work on sa being the main one but this will have to wait until the summer when i'm not living with an awkward room mate.... oh and went home at christmas and no cat or chicken hunting!! anyway a long pointless post but i love my girl!!

Not pointless at all, its lovely to look back and see how much progress you have made isn't it.

kudos to you for working so hard with her and giving her a loving home.

i know if i got going I could go on all day about her! ya when i think back to how it took nearly 2 months to teach her to sit and now I could teach her something new in a matter of days (with the right treat - she won't do anything unless its for food!)
A guy came out of his way the other day in the park and asked what breed she was and admired her as a terrier. I've had people comment on the lack of an eye and she looks cute etc but I was so proud when he admired her as a dog!

I can well understand your delight, youve come a long way and you are rightly proud. Well done
