Squidge (K16)

[Jan]

Cross breed, 10 – 12 months old





Jan Update

Pat, a lovely dog walker says this about Squidgy:
One word to describe her "gorgeous". I have walked her many times and she is happy to meet and greet any dog that comes her way. She also loves the whole of the human race. People say that she's not pretty. Well I think she is beautiful. She loves sticks and toys but has no possession issues and will leave them when asked to do so. She will sit and takes snacks gently, but she can jump like she is using a trampoline!!!.
I have no idea why she hasn't been chosen she deserves the best.

Squidge loves Sticks Check out her video ;D


Squidge is a very shy little lady who tends to hide away from new people. It takes her a little while to trust people and she ‘cowers’ if anything is raised above the head.
We do not know what happened to her before she came into the dogs home to make her such a nervous lady, but she is coming around slowly and is beginning to trust the staff here.
As she is such a scared little lady, we feel she would be better in a home with no young children but she may benefit from a home with another dog who can show her what being a dog is all about!

Assessment update: Squidge loves being out on the lead and is beginning to enjoy meeting new people. She mixes well with most other dogs and she has been around children (aged 12+). She may not be the prettiest dog here at the dogs home, but she certainly is one of the sweetest – Squidge is a rose amongst the thorns.

Squidge is still waiting patiently for her forever home. She's a beautiful little girl, and deserves the best chance in life. Would you like to meet her? It's easy peasy, and might be the best thing you ever did ;D

Contact details for the Home are Here

We had Squidge in the office last week, she is very food orientated so will definitely be a quick learner! She can sit and give you her paw, she takes a treat really gently too! Poor Squidge has been with us a while now with not a lot of interest, she has come on in leaps and bounds and is desperate for a loving home.

Squidge's assessment has been updated in the first post

[flick]

HUBBY SAID YES!!!
We're going down to meet her today!!!!
I fell in love with Squidge just from her picture and if she gels well with Bazra and us then she will be coming home to us.....

SOOOO CUTE, Fingers crossed cause I WANT HER!!!!

Bazra is a semi working dog which is what my husband wanted but I need/want a girl doggie to have as a substitute baby and huge sofa/lap dog lol, so sweet just hope we gel so she has her loving home xxx

[angelad]

Fantastic news Everything crossed -

[flick]

Really hope so, we're going down there for around 2pm and hope to get a feel for her personality by the time I can post later tonight...
If today goes well we are going to take Bazra down there during the week to introduce them to each other and if that goes well hopefully we can bring her home in the next fortnight....
WATCH THIS SPACE LOL
Hope to update everyone if this is successful once she is settled with new pics and stories.....
YAY!!! (here's hoping!)

[Baglady]

Oh Squidge - I'm sooooo excited for you

I've seen Pat walking Squidge - she's blimmin gorjuss

How fab would it be if Squidge was squidged up on her own sofa in time for Christmas ;D

Fingers crossed for this afs

[flick]

SHE IS LUSH!!!!!

We got on really well and she seemed to fall for my hubby as much as I did when I met him lol

Just hope Bazra and her get along when we go again on Tuesday as it all hangs on that - fingers crossed....

Will keep you posted as we go along....

[Baglady]

I'm trying not to get tooooooo excited for her - but I'm feeling a little bit

[flick]

I'm just hoping like mad that they gel and get along as not that worried about the cat cause given a day or two she adjusts well so long as her food doesn't stop lol, Bazra normally gets along fine with other dogs especially bitches so heres hoping, however you just need to see how they are and hope for the best.....

Trying not to get my hopes up as don't want to be crushed if they bicker or fight.... she is very willful and so is he lol xxx

Tuesday will see it x

[Baglady]

Flick - a little helping hand from you and OH will really help them get along.

I've always parallel walked whenever I've introduced a foster dog to my two resident dogs. Have a gander at this....

here

First impressions do count, one of my earliest first dates after I left school was with a blimmin scrummy, tall, blond, wiv prospects, dream boat, and we went out (it was winter) freezing cold, so dived into a pub and as he was ordering some drinks I took a look at him, profile on, and his nose was dripping. Nuff said

Manage the first meeting as thoughfully as you can, and you won't be setting them up to make a mistake. Squidge will be excitable coming out of her kennel (soz, you'll know this already, I don't need to tell you), and it might overwhelm Bazra, so give them every possible chance to have a no snogging polite 'first date'

I've got everything crossed for you all, Good luck!

I have had the day from hell and no end of arguing but I lost out to reason and due to logical arguing couldn't even smack my husband up side the head for being a good brother, but this leaves me in a bit of a pickle......

Also convinced everyone will be angry or upset with me now, especially as I'm new to the group.....

BASICALLY, we went to my mother in laws house for sunday lunch as Steve's younger brother was home from the RAF.
We knew he had put in for a base transfer after his wife walked out on him taking their brand new daughter with her nearly 2 months ago but what we didn't know is that he has to spend a minimum of 6 months in the shared halls/barracks before the possibility of a house or flat on camp.....

This means he needs to re-home Tess who has been to us before when he has been away but he had just assumed we would have her and not actually asked.....

I got really upset and angry about being taken for granted cause I will do anything for anyone but like to be asked first.

BUT, if we don't take her he has no choice but to put her up with the RSPCA and I can't allow one dog to be re-homed only to let another go and we don't have space for 3 so I have to pass up the chance of having SQUIDGE......

I hate this as she is really lovely so please will someone looking at these boards at least go down and meet her before ruling her out as she really is PERFECT for anyone who wants a dog and loves animals, I fell for her instantly and if it wasn't for this she would be coming home here in a few days.

I'm so sorry to Squidge and to all of you guys, I couldn't win that kind of argument and was kind of backed into a corner, however, when he eventually gets a new place on camp we will be going back down there to look for a new friend to give a forever home to and all the love that goes with it.....

SORRY

[angelad]

Flick you could not have made any other decision, either way you have helped a dog in need and I'm sure that your falling in love with Squidge and singing her praises will help anybody considering offering her a home.

Your poor brother in law and Tess, hope he gets sorted soon and can have her back home with him.

to you all

[Baglady]

Flick, don't beat yourself up - everyone here understands that stuff interferes with all our best laid plans (take it from me, I know how true that it)

Nothing 'bad' happened, just a different 'good' from the one you planned.

Give yourselves a from all of us
