Great photos Ali - they looked like the enjoyed their outing. Lovely pictures of Oscar too Mandy -glad he's being good at night for you - hope Elsa does better tonight.

Karen, great that you could leave Mazy and came back to her not crying. After me speaking too soon this morning this afternoon I had to leave her howling - couldn't believe how much noise such a little thing could make! I needed to take Maggie out though so had to be done. She was still howling when I got back although I don't know whether she did the whole time. She was very upset and needed lots of cuddles when I got in.

I took her for a short car ride this afternoon with Maggie for company and she cried then too but on the way back she was better. Maggie sat focused and calm the whole time and I kept telling her what a good girl she was while little Elsa stood up in the cage looking out the back window crying. I will have to keep doing it though as I need her to get used to it before I start puppy classed in April.

Ali - she is such a bright little thing - I did some clicker training with her this afternoon - she got the hang of the clicker meaning food really quickly and then I taught her to sit and to come to her name and then she even retrieved a toy for me - what a little star! (coming to call though still depends on how busy she is chewing something at the time!)
