we're back!!
my goodness I've been offline for a long time. Things have been hectic!!
I'm putting this here just to say a general hello to all, and that i'm going to try and be more active again. Nothing staffie specific to say really, except that Texas continues to do really well
her reactions are fairly few and far between (though bad days occur) and shes willing to socialise these days. The muzzle is off right now, my fault mainly. they all started irritating her skin, no matter what we did to customise them to make them comfortable, they'd rub her and cause sores. They were just bringing her down, we reckoned we reached a point where she wasnt progressing because she was unhappy. so when her season started we took it off with the idea that she's going to remain on lead any way. However, we're re-training her to wear it, which we just can't do if we're still forcing it on her. so its off nd she's done wonders since!! but i will make her comfortable with it again - just as a precaution in future if i ever need it.
We've had an eventful time since i was last on, including making friends, me having a breakdown in public after a man called us freaks because of Tex's fear, new tricks learnt, swimming practise (which she's taught herself and is getting amazing at!!)
and finally a potential new brother, who we met today they got on fine so he'll be coming to spend a bit more time with us soon to see how they get on in the house but fingers crossed!!
