Retriever Rescue

Today is Ferns 2 year home day, where did the time go.
A gentle and kind little soul that still can be so afraid at times. Not learned that no one gets smacked here, but still afraid when you have an arm up. An absolute joy to have as she is so gentle. A couple of weeks ago we had 2 drakes on the canal bank having a squabble over a lady duck. Fern went up to them and stood over sniffing them, the ducks never batted an eye at her. " Just shows how kind she is "says I to David. Over time she's taught herself tricks, paws, beg, twirl and smacks her lips when she thinks it's time for food. We haven't tried to teach her things as she gets in a panic, so it's just been my words to something she's done that's been picked up on. A bright little spark.
Thanks to Jan and to Jess that rescued her. So much for " no more".
Take care all and stay safe in these bad times.

When I think what Fern was like when we got her it breaks my heart but you have worked wonders with this little girl and turned her round. She must have had a terrible life which we can only guess at.
How can it be two years . Dear little girl.
Lots of love Jan & Heidi.x

This is one of her in the one place she feels secure and safe. BED

She is such a beautiful girl and looks so happy and settled. You should be proud of what you have achieved.

Lynn, I remember speaking to you about Fern at the fun day in 2018. She was very happy to sit up by me and let me stroke her head as we talked and didn't seem concerned at all.
I agree with Jan, you should be proud of what you have done with her.
