I can't even draft a post, because when I go back to it I find it too trite to publish and I can't be bothered to edit. I have my niche!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-42779124709998884092012-08-02T20:00:58.180+01:002012-08-02T20:00:58.180+01:00It can be really difficult, can't it?

I like a dog with plenty of character - which is another way of saying it's quite difficult and needs a lot of work.

A...Ella (new dog) has almost too much personality.<br /><br />After La Fluffita sadly, but gently, went to the place that good doggies go, with as little fuss as she'd lived her near perfect life, I'd registered with several rescue charities, saying I was looking for a quiet German Shepherd about 5 years old who was used to living with cats.<br /><br />After a few weeks I had a call from a local rehomer who said she had a dog who although she wasn't exactly what I'd asked for, she thought would suit us, and she was still with her owner so hadn't been disturbed by kennels. She was, I was told, an 18 month Malinois Belgian Shepherd, with good basic training and cat friendly.<br /><br />We just fell in love with her, incredibly affectionate, obedient, and astonishingly beautiful. She has a dense honey coloured coat that has the dull sheen of Duchesse satin, and every hair is black tipped, giving the impression that she's outlined with charcoal, and a beautiful black muzzle.<br /><br />She and Otis also hate each other with a passion. He has moved into the conservatory where he has direct access to both garden and dining room, both of which contain cat flaps. He delights in taunting her through the dining room cat flap. I can hear him flipping it at 3 in the morning, and her snuffling.<br /><br />They both chose us. We must make it work.<br /><br />When my therapy finishes and I can get into a more comfortable typing position, I might start a new blog chronicling the (lack of) progress.Roshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946330847261186649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-47962682068887413872012-08-01T23:46:27.332+01:002012-08-01T23:46:27.332+01:00Well, I think you are an excellent writer!

If we were on a road trip and she was scolded, she turn her back towards you and ignore until her trainer apologized. The problem was her trainer (Mom)was just as stubborn as the dog.martinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-78871630664481965042012-08-01T16:25:28.326+01:002012-08-01T16:25:28.326+01:00The right dog hasn't found me yet.

I never thought I was, but six and a half years of blogging has proved it.
