Friday 15th May

Silver is recovering well from her operation, I don't think she likes the lampshade thing that the vet said she has to wear on her head. It makes it very difficult for her to get around and it means she can't play with us anymore. She had a visitor today, a very nice lady who loves us Collies and knows what we are about. She already has two and Silver would be very happy there we think.

We have a new arrival at the kennels a lovely little girl Collie called Dovey, she is tri coloured like me, not black and white like Bear. She has come from a farm and is really terrified of everything. 'Mum' has been sitting in Dovey's kennel, very quiet and still, for ages today just trying to be accepted in the same space. It's so sad when dogs arrive like this mainly through lack of care and socialisation, 'Mum' gets upset for them but I know she will win her over in the end, look what she did with Bear and her sisters. Poor Dovey was so frightened you could see her heart pounding in her chest. 'Mum' says it will be a while before we are allowed to play with her. We don't get to play with all the dogs by the way, just the collies sometimes if 'Mum' thinks it will be alright.
