JORDAN (NOW MILLIE)

Jordan is a very young golden retriever.  She was picked up by the dog warden after having been tied up all her life with a rope which had indented in her neck. She was also limping very badly so she was taken to the vet who x-rayed the leg, cleaned up her neck and spayed her.

Despite her dreadful early beginings, Jordan was a very trusting soul and settled in well with Sandie, where she stayed until she was fit to travel. The flower essences and TLC quickly worked their magic on her. Jordan got on very well with the other dogs who played a big part in her rehabilitation.

Sandie said "Jordan continues to improve day by day, with her confidence growing all the time. She ran (well hobbled) off with a slipper today, which was lovely to see. She has improved greatly in the short time since she was rescued. She is eating well, taking her remedies, enjoys playing with other dogs, and makes a big impression on everyone she meets".

 Jordan is now in a wonderful permanent home  in the U.K. where she will be loved forever and will never, ever have to suffer any more fear or pain as long as she lives.

FIRST UPDATE FROM HER FOREVER HOME

Jordan is now Millie and she seems to be doing fine.

She has now been microchipped and given the once over by their vet.

She enjoys playing with Emma (IRR dog) and Faith, who live next door, which she does daily, and she is being spoilt rotten. It seems like no work can get done in the house as playing with Millie comes first.

The only thing that needs working on is her aversion to travelling in the car. At the moment, Millie is not keen on going in the car, which is understandable after the couple of weeks she has had, but, once she learns to associate it with nice things, she will be absolutely fine.

FURTHER UPDATE

Millie now has a new friend Holly (another IRR girl) to play with and they are getting on really well.

MILLIE'S LETTER

            Hi everyone it’s Millie!!! (Jordan)
Just to let every one know how I am getting on in my forever home.
As you are all aware I had a very bad neck as well as a limp but my neck is now much better and I am allowed to wear my new pink collar but still go for walks on my harness that uncle Andy bought for me.
I still have a bit of a limp when I am tired but my new vet said this might be for life
But I am walking & playing on it now, which is helping improve the muscles
It’s not painful either.
 
It took a few days to settle into my new home but now it’s great fun here, mum & dad love me to bits and play with me lots and I am putting on some weight.
One evening mum & dad took me to meet a lady called Jackie who had an older play friend called Holly for me to meet, this was fun even though it meant I had to go in the car.
I decided that I liked Holly and mum & dad decided that Holly could come and live with us as well.
I didn’t like getting into the car but holly jumped in ok so I thought I would give it ago and it’s not so bad really.
 
We have both made lots of new friends in the last week, human & dogs in the park, which is fantastic as it is right next door to our home.
The best bits of all are that we have a big garden to play in and nice warm beds to
Sleep on and now a nice mum & dad.
We are also very lucky to live next door to auntie Ali & Uncle Nick, they have two
Girls called Faith & Emma, Emma is another IRR dog.
Faith & Emma come to play regularly, but on Saturday evening we went for our first visit to their home that was fun.
 
I am already very happy & settled in my forever home but poor Holly is still a little unsettled & quiet but I will soon change that if I keep jumping on her & getting her to play with me, she is slowly getting the idea that we have to chase each other around the garden.
 
Holly is the best sister I could have as we have lots of toys to play with and she doesn’t mind me jumping on her or pinching the toys and running off with them.
We sleep together as well as playing together which is great and we love each other lots.
Hope you like our pictures and we will see you all in September.
Thanking everybody for helping to bring us to our forever home.
Love from Millie, Holly, Mum & Dad.
 
P.S I am the little one.
