Nell is currently undergoing a 14 day assessment and will be ready for rehoming from 14/7/2016. Applications are welcome during the assessment period.
Nell has come into our care from a breeder. She was last bred at approximately 2yrs old. Nell is definately the more confident of the two at the moment. I knew she had a cheeky glint in her eye when I met her....no mistaking that! She is still quite wary of people, and is skittish...but is always first back on the scene and first to accept tickles ;D
There were 3 bark episodes through the night last night, though none lasted longer than 2mins really. I did go downstairs on the second incident...i definately heard the bin fall! Double trouble had pulled it over...and frightened themselves in the process! This was probably around 11.30. They had both had a wee, one on each puppy pad left down :o (I know right...what is this magic?!) they settled down and were quiet for at least half an hour, on more small bark session then and they settled for the night. Dean came down this morning, to find poops on the puppy pads too...and very wiggly bums! They were quiet when he left for work, and settled down before I got up at 8.30.

I was treated to a barky chorus, apparently I'm terrifying in my dressing gown ;) But once they had given me a sniff they remembered I'm not all that bad! Nell was first to stick her face in my hand for a chin tickle, and gave my palm a cheeky snog. I got their food ready and popped it down...me walking past was certainly not enough to put her off her morning munch! We went out the garden after food and she went straight to the grass had a good sniff, then had a wee! (Well done Nell!) Little mischief maker has been leading the charges in and out of the garden...through the kitchen and to the baby gate this morning. She is definately up for the investigating, and shouting back at dex if he starts it! :o
Keep an eye out for more Nell updates...will let you know how this cheeky streak develops! ;)

Update 4th July
Update coming right up on likkle lady Nell! This little one has been doing great, she is first to jump to the defence of Eira. If Eira has been spooked by a noise and barks, Nell is right by her side warding the bad scary noises off with her barks! She has gotten quieter the last few day or two though and has just been looking at Eira and near enough rolling her eyes! ::) She likes to watch Eira play with the toys mostly, but does play with toys herself when she fancies it!
She is much more confident and self assured than Eira(or at least shows herself to be) We tried walkies a few days ago and, though skittish she got into it quite fast! She was very interested in sniffing things, and pottered along on her lead well (after intitially trying to walk herself with it/eat it). She had the biggest grin on her face out on the walk, she was even pretty good about being picked up and popped back in the car.
We took the girls to the vet this morning and Nell was very good! She was happy to be picked up and taken to the car, she gave us a light sing song in the back on the way. The last two times they have travelled in the car, they have panic pooped, though this time Nothing! (Success in my book!)
Nell took the waiting room in stride, looking around and taking things in, whilst snuggled in deans arms (paws crossed beneath her may I add!) She was lovely and well behaved with the vet, though she was initially wary. She too froze on the table, but in honesty it does make them easier to examine!
As with Eira, Nell has an eye infection that is effecting the tear prodution in her eyes at the moment. Fingers crossed the drops start making a difference! The Vet has also diagnose a low Grade heart murmur. She would only put it at a 1/2 (2 at the very most) but it is nothing to worry about, just something to keep an eye on. Neither of these things make a difference to her at all. She is such a perky little thing...not to mention utterly adorable!
Will get you another Nell Update soon ;D

I met little Nell today, what a pretty little Shihtzu she is! She's more confident than her sister and gives little kisses and nibbles, rushing away if you come too close. My mum though managed to stroke her head and she seemed to enjoy it. It's not going to take her long to settle down and accept all the good things that are now going to come her way!

Update in the first post...
