Bella has settled in great. Good with the kids loves the other dogs, even the visiting Great dane. she is well behaved inside, loves nothing more than to sit on a knee beside the fire. Good on lead.
Her only vice is trying to find ways of running away. Have since found out this is the main reason why she was rehomed. My garden is fully secure so that isnt a prob. Not that they are in the garden much only first thing in morning and last thing at night unless im out there as well. Bella will even get up on to a window sill and climb out of the window which i caught her doing this morning (maybe she is part cat). Have now changed living room around so she cant get up on window. This morning when she got out, this is second time, never seen the first time how she got out, she tore down the road and started chasing the cars, thankfully i caught her quickly so she was fine.
Now i know she has this problem i can hopefully change things and make everyone aware of her passion for the road. She was, which i wasnt told ,most of the time a street dog. I have even this morning been down hardware shop and bought chicken wire to put around my fence in the front and a lock for my front gate to hopefully stop this route on the of chance that if she gets out again she can be stopped. I wont be taken any chances with her as i have never seen a dog so badly wanting to go out that they will climb out of a window. Also have got her chipped Saturday.
Any advice would be welcome.
