Bonnis is Doing Great

Bonnie is tiny! But very well proportioned (unlike string bean Dottie) so she makes Pie look like a lummox.


She is very comfortable around my dog now. She plays with Dottie and tries to play with Pie. I can leave them together unsupervised and know everyone will still be in one piece when I return.

Bonnie has house time and is doing well with that too. She chews on bones, lays on the dog beds (sometimes on the couch) and for the most part, stays out of trouble.

She is very submissive if one of the other dogs (ahem, Fancy) snaps at her or is "mean" to her in some other way. She is not a resource guarder and is friendly with strangers.

Today I had her in an x-pen with Pie and Dottie during an obedience practice and I think having the other dogs as a role model showed her there was nothing to fear. She accepted cheese while standing right next to a strange dog and I put her on a flexi lead and she even played with a ball in this new environment. One of the ladies at the practice who has 2 rescue mals was very tempted by her small cuteness but is worried her older female might bully her.

Bonnie is a very nice dog. Based on her old owner's reaction when I said she'd be in the house I thought she was going to be a terror, never settling down, shoving anything she could find in her mouth and climbing the walls. Not so at all. Oh, and her housebreaking is going great. No accidents since one on a dog bed in an x-pen in ffluffy's house. A nice difference from the last dog I house broke that took several months- Dottie.

Yep, someone will be lucky to have Bonnie!
