She's settling in brilliantly bless her 
I took her to the yard before the office - she didnt want to get out the car so I left her with the back open and after about three seconds she leapt out and proceeded to hoon around the place in a most unladylike manner 
She was careful of her back end though but it didn't slow her down any. After a good roll in the haylage and a wee she hada drink and investigated everything, dont think she'd ever seen a horse before but wasn't too worried by them. She's got recall, not brilliant but then she's only known me for 5 minutes
Got to the office and she said hello to everyone - either offering them a lead or her teddy She loves a game of tug-o-war but was very gentle about it She was chatting away too making everyone laugh at her
Mum brought Yellow Dog down and they said hello - he is boisterous and she was a bit scared of him but after barking at him a couple of times he backed off and she let him sniff at her. She got into mums car on her own so Mum took them off for a little walk together, she rang about 5 mins ago to say they'd gone back home and she's settled in Bear's old bed that they've lined with towels for now (Bear was buried with her blanket) until we go to Pets at Home tonight.
She's booked into the vets on monday (thought we'd give her time to settle) and the doggy parlour for Dec 8th I think as the hair on her back legs and tummy has matted in places. Watching her walk etc I think the main problem with her back legs is a lack of muscle, shes obv a bit tender around them but a lot of dog her age are so not really worried about it. We've got joint supplements etc to put her on and hopefully being walked everyday will put some muscle on her and improve her walking
She's obv had training - she walks well on the lead tho you have to be firm as she clearly thinks shes in charge of where you're going but she doesn't pull hard and once you say no she stops. She knows sit etc too and she's so friendly and cuddly I don't think she's been badly treated at all - it's all very strange.
I've got piccies on my phone which I'll upload when I get home though they're all fairly blurry, she doesn't sit still for long lol
MASSIVE thanks to CareyR and Jane who were FABULOUS xx
