It has been going well with our new dog. I taught her
how to sit and lie down and she isn’t pulling anuymore while on the leash. She
also knows to come here and we are training her how to wait at the moment.
I had a lot of friends visiting and they all admired
and adored Cara especially when she began pulling those cute looks and staring
at you with her large puppy eyes.
But it has not always been that easy going. There are
days where she ignores me completely and I am calling her name and running
after her like a fool in the park and there are days where she escapes into the
brushwood while on the long leash (20 metres), and gets caught up in there so
that I have to crawl in the dirt on my knees, branches scratching my face.
But I still love her. That’s why I was about to cry
when Cara happened to be really sick on Sunday. She had a very bad stomche ache
and was whining all day long. She was fine while I slowly stroked her stomach,
but as soon as I stopped she was wincing and cranking her back.. It hurt seeing
pain in her eyes and the sound of her restless nails clicking the floor made my
ears ache.
She was constantely at my heels and begging me to
sroke and cuddle her. And I just couldn’t say ‘no’ to her pleading eyes so we
spent the whole day on her pillow .
I made
her some tea and on Monday morning she was much better, it still frightened me
though, up to that day I didn’t know how much she means to me already. sickl Cara seeking support |
