DAISY is a neutered, 18mth old golden retriever bitch. We were asked to help in her rehoming when her owner, who had already rescued her, was no longer able to care for her.

She went into foster with Anne and Trevor in Somerset but, within a couple of days, they decided that she was the forever girl for them.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Anne said "Daisy is lovely. She met the boys in the field this morning, 4 year old Woody and 18month old Twiggy - both goldies. She was a bit shy at first - but soon got used to them! I am looking forward to having a longer walk with them so they get to know each other better, because I envisage Twiggy and Daisy being great friends."

Daisy has already experienced life "under canvas" at Scout Camp and gets on really well with the other dogs especially Bella, the flatcoat.

UPDATE ON DAISY

Anne says, "Daisy is wonderful. We went to Cornwall at the weekend and she curled up in a sunlounger with our neighbours 6 year old daughter. She retreived a ball endlessly for their 9 year old son. She loved the beach and the water. I still have to teach her to come back when I call her as, at the moment, there are too many other interesting smells and things to do so she only comes back when she wants to - but I always praise her for coming and give her a treat even if its taken 5 minutes and she's done an extra circuit of the field. She is less timid every day though some things scare her still. If we pick up anything large she cowers down, poor thing - so its lots of cuddles and reassurance. We're off on holiday for a week next weekend so lots of walks on the beach, barbecues with friends, lots of dogs to meet and games to play."

"We are really taken with our little girl."
