Peanuts!

I suppose it’s not a big deal for most dogs to eat something from your hand... BUT when working with a fearful dog everything is big! I have offered Reba peanuts before and she would not take them. Well, she now trusts me enough to take them and eat them. Another step forward!

Happy Day 7!!!

Happy Week-aversary! Reba has been doing greeeeeat! Of course she has a ways to go but definitely less scared then when she arrived! I am so proud of her accomplishments. 

If you are looking for a very sweet dog then here she is!!! 🌸🌼🌸

Day 6 smiles! 😁

Monday and Reba is so happy. 

She complained when I left for work today (I heard her start as I locked the door) and the puppy pen was pushed around. So she is totally getting attached. I’m going to get out my own dog crate for tomorrow. It’s a nice black wire one and Reba is ready now for this! 

She loves her walks and is starting to act more normal. Awesome!!! Week two should be FUN!!! 🤣

Happy mom’s day!!!

Day 5:

A Reba look alike mom’s day card from hubby! Haha... so cute!!!

Prancy paws while walking!

Trotting out front like a brave girl!!!

Enjoying tummy rubs! Asti watching and maybe feeling a wee bit jealous!!! Lol

Tired out after the walk. Cozy blankie time!!! 🐶

Today Reba met my sons and a friend of my husband and myself. She hid under the table in a corner! As soon as they left out she came. So she needs to know you before she trusts you. That’s ok!!! She’s doing so much better. She wagged her tail at me today too. (Video of tail wag on Foster Dog Love Facebook page) keep trying Rebie!!! 

Day 4 pictures:

After our morning walk we came in and I sat on the couch with Reba to give her attention and petting. As I stroke her head she relaxes and falls asleep. Reba loves to have company and she enjoys her massages! 

Late afternoon...

I had to be gone all day for work so a walk was a must! 

Hello!!!!!! Look ^^ who merged into the pack!!! This girl!!! 🎀 Whooo hoooo!!!

A little ‘toes in the grass’ rest time by our creek!  #sunnyday

Porch Sitting:

On my lap! 💓

Oh so sweeeeet! 🌸

I see birdies.... and buns! 🕊🐇

Day 4 Walking Video

It’s day 4 and Reba went potty right away on her tie out! So, that hurdle has been crossed. She did not eat much yesterday so maybe that is why no 💩 yet?!?

So off of that subject... 

Here we are on another walk. I have both my dogs and she has moved up from behind me to almost at my side. She is not quite there yet but getting closer!!! Good progress! Usually with fearful dogs I will see forward and backward gains/losses. So far all forward with Reba! Day by Day :)!!!

Day 3: Cozy Cuddles!

Today has been an awesome progress day for Reba! 

Our little timid red head has decided that the couch is a much nicer spot to "dwell" (by dwell I mean she is parked on the couch all day!) than her puppy cage and she finally went potty outside too! "Yay and Yay!"

It’s so cold and nasty outside (brrr) but Reba doesn’t care ... she thinks she has found a ‘little bit of heaven’ snuggled in her fleece blanket! 

She is so easy to love!!! 💜

Potty time!

Miss R on her potty tie out with me watching out the window! She did go potty a second time!!! But still no 💩! Lol!
