Jassy

I am sucking up to Jassy at the moment because I cracked the shits with her last night when we were out walking. It isn't her fault that she is timid.

Since we got her from Jo's Dad I have spent a lot of time trying to retrain her and build her confidence. The two of us have had quite a lot of success but sometimes she takes fright at the smallest thing.

Last night it was a couple of loud boys in their loud cars way up at the end of the road. Jassy tried to do a runner without success.

I feel really bad that I lost patience with her. Really bad. She is such a gentle, sweet dog and most of the time she is fine. When we first got her she wouldn't come near me and look at where we are now.

So I am giving her lots of pats and scratches today, even though she has rubbed up against something rather smelly. Perhaps that's her form of revenge.
