Oh bless her! The fact that she dragged you to the door with tail wagging, shows that she knows where her feeling of security is.
This type of rescue dog has been through so much more than the norm. Their thanks is at times overwhelming and it somehow makes it sadder to think what they must have been through. How is she when you leave her Wendy?
We find with Beau that he has to know where we are at all times, but doesn't now always have to be with us. I can now potter about in the garden and he will pop out now and again to make sure I'm here. We have actually just back from shopping and he stayed at home. We usually go early and take him with us, but are now trying to have the odd time away from him. He didn't make a fuss as he had a good walk first and just flopped on the floor on coming back. He was so excited when we got back but I just got on with unpacking and he did his usual thing, after being nosey to see what I had got, of barking at squirrels who eat the bird nuts. No harm done and feeling so pleased at another step taken.
Do keep us updated at Megan's progress. She is somehow a special girl and will be doing you the world of good.
I am now a widow and live with my memories.
