She came under the auspices of Save a Spanish Spot and had a long, long journey : Salamanca to Alicante to meet with HB and complete formalities, then north through France, the Tunnel and England to Newcastle, with stop offs on the way to deliver the other eight dogs to various parts of the country. She must have found it stressful, for she slept most of Friday with two short walks for doggy relief. Today she seems brighter and we've already been out for a longer walk this morning.
So Perla is my new distraction. My new hobby, you might say. A pointer/Dalmatian cross, she has been in an outdoor sanctuary all of her eleven years, so many things are strange to her. We are slowly getting to know each other and she is very different to Tim. Playing with toys doesn't seem to ever have been on her radar, but I am looking forward to seeing her interact with other dogs, which I could not do with Tim. After the age of five he was aggressive to other dogs. Perla has already found the place where she might be able to sniff noses through the fence with Twiglet, Julia's dog in one of our neighbouring gardens.
