A blog of her own

We're really pleased with Milly's progress over the last six weeks, she's like a completely different dog! She no longer gulps her food, pulls on the lead, whines when one of us leaves the room or chews anything she's not supposed to. We have discovered a few things that are perfect for her incredibly strong chewing jaws - the Bionic Bone (purchased in Vancouver on our Christmas holiday), the Kong Extreme, and our most recent discovery - Stag Bars made of antler!

We couldn't imagine life without her now, and we feel so guilty that we're going away and leaving her for 2.5 weeks when we go to Japan! The holiday was already arranged when we agreed to take Milly on, and we've spent the last six weeks discussing options for her as we don't want to put her into kennels. One of our friends has kindly agreed to come and stay at our house with her for the first week or so, and after that we will need to employ a house sitter or arrange for Milly to go to one of the local home boarding services. It's stressful trying to find the right fit for her!

My mum who had Milly before we did gave me a diary that she had written of all the funny things Milly did, and we've decided to carry it on. I've started a blog, and am typing up mum's old entries before starting on our new ones. She's done plenty to write about already since she's been with us!

You can read Milly's blog here - I've got quite a lot of old entries still to type up!
