Her trust in you will bring them all along.<br /><br />You can start training her now too, to lift up her feet for you, and to let you check her eyes and ears and teeth. Scritches and massages will help her know she is safe with your hands on her, and when she starts to shed her baby coat you can use a curry comb to really bliss her out on the itchy spots.<br /><br />It's a sad loss of her mum, but my guess is you are really going to have a special bond with Rosemary.<br /><br />elniniJodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6450899713878614950.post-16096791530113717312012-02-10T12:21:49.576-08:002012-02-10T12:21:49.576-08:00I guess that technically, its all God's countr...I guess that technically, its all God's country...I just live in the best part of it!

It's hard to loose any animal. She is learning fast how to get her food from a bottle.

We did a practice test last night and he would have passed had that been the actual test. His problem isn't with knowing what to do, he is just too friendly and wants to be petted by everyone. :) Then we will move on to Therapy work. I am still considering Search and Rescue but afraid to make the plunge due to the time commitment. I know it will be very rewarding, so I just need to keep that in focus.
