Casper's daughter, Flossie also left us last Friday, with a first report for her the next morning. I have since spoken with Christel, as a few things she has wanted advice about, which is to be expected, and what I'm here for now. "Good morning, Jane,
A first report. Flossie had a very good day. She met a human friend at lunchtime. Then we went to school to pick up 2 grandchildren. Flossie was a surprise, so there was a lot of excitement and lots of attentive children. She was a bit overcome. Then home to the farm where she had a great afternoon with the girls in the garden. Garden only. She found guinea pig poo very tasty. I suppose it’s a bit like silage in neat packages. When we came home the cat had returned and calmly sat in the kitchen but little Flossie barked and growled, so cat fled. F did not bark at the farm cats passing through. Territorial feelings maybe, regarding my house/kitchen? We had some more fun and games, a few snoozes, dinner offered but not really interested. I expect she will eat when she is hungry. Then came night time. The cat had not come back in, I thought, Flossie had gone into the crate with a chew and I worried that the cat would not come into kitchen to eat with a possibly howling puppy there. So I was tempted to take pup up with me but thought ‘no they will have to come to terms with each other’. I said goodnight to F. As I approached the stairs, the cat appeared and I fetched him some food. He came and stayed by my bed all night. Dear Flossie complained (not too loudly)for approx 15-20 mins. Then all was quiet. All night!! This morning at 5.30! The cat woke me by purring loudly in my ear. I had set the alarm for 6, remembering your early rising household, thinking Flossie would be crossing her legs. But no. She woke as I approached and had an excitement dribble. I quickly carried her to the back door and there in the yard she peed and pood, twice. Much praise given. As we went in, she had another un expected poo attempt on a rug but I quickly moved her to the yard where she did another. What should I use to spray rug/floor with where she dropped a bit? To discourage repeat? The yard was cleaned and finally I’m having a cup of tea, with a sleeping puppy on my lap. She is like a little shadow and, so far, has always come back when called. Were both very happy. Thank you. Love from Christel and Flossie xx"
