An update from Daisy’s forever family

Well, the last time we sent out a large email blast, it was with great sadness at the death of our beloved Spirit. Today, we write with great joy at the arrival of a very special girl named Daisy. Daisy has made our house a home again. We got Daisy as a rescue dog from Boston Terrier Rescue Canada. For those of you who have never gone the rescue route, we would encourage you to try it. It’s a long and very detailed process but knowing what Daisy and other abused animals have gone through, nothing could be more rewarding for yourself or for the animal.

Daisy is an eighteen month old Boston Terrier with a heart of gold. How she is able to give so much love to people after her awful beginning, still leaves us astonished. If you’re a kisser, you could enter into a long “kiss fest” with her. Daisy is as smart as a button too. She came to us fully house-trained, crate trained, spayed, micro chipped and with her injections up to date.

She loves her food and sleeps like a baby; we’ve never heard such a loud snorer and snorter! Daisy is full of fun; she could play fetch all day long if one didn’t get tired of the game before her. Back are the days of toys and treats stuffed under the sheets and poop bags and treats in coat pockets. She probably should be a snowbird as she really feels the cold, so we don’t go on long walks at this point. We’re not sure how Daisy will be with other leashed four-legged buddies but so far, although she’s not been snout to snout with any yet, the only behaviour has been a show of interest, no growling or any other defensive moves. If you meet us in the street with your pooch, for the time being we’d ask that your dog and Daisy not have a sniff and a romp with each other as she’s not had the most favourable of experiences with other canines yet. If you’re alone, you’re not allowed to pass without a pat!

Like all we gals, Daisy favours one side of her face over the other; for her, it’s the left side as during her short life, due to abuse from perhaps a combination of people and other stray dogs, she lost an eye. So far, people who have met her don’t even notice the loss of the eye. From our point of view, it certainly doesn’t slow her down one bit. She’s just adorable and that’s the trait that shines through Daisy.

For those nearby, we look forward to meets and greets. For those further afield, enjoy the photos.
