A Willow person!! It wasnt quite as simple as that but not far off
I rang my friend and said, Im off to Meadowhall, do you want anything? She said, no not really but I have a springer, do you want to have a look on your way home?
Long story short, she had been in boarding at friends kennels. Owners wanted to rehome her because she was chewing her way through the house while they left her for 10 hours while they went to work, hmmmm. They then resorted to muzzling and crating.
Anyhow, shes been here just over two weeks now and not damaged anything. To be fair, shes very puppyish and everything goes in her mouth but she doesnt chew. Shes just over 12 months old which is a radical departure for me. I usually prefer my woofs to be of the more mature variety. This one has sharp teeth
Absolutely EVERYTHING is new to her just about. She has a deformed left back foot and as such was never walked so the outside world is sooooo exciting!! Bedding and blankets are also a mystery to her but she will lay her head on a blanket now.
My vet, who I trust to the moon and back, has said the foot isnt brilliant but its a viable appendage and amputation isnt the preferable option. The only time she doesnt really use it is on really hard ground like tarmac or concrete. Shes grossly overweight (especially for a baby) so its a massive priority to get some weight off as that will help the leg / foot as well.
Enough rattling, heres a few pics:
First day at home
Willow under the willow
The wonky foot
Having a play with her sister (excuse the parched state of the lawn)
Naughty monkey with the hedgehog water bowl
Another foot piccie
