She is home and at the moment fast asleep by the sofa. Quick update on what we know so far. She is a very scared little dog. Cowers when you put out your hand to stroke her and shivers. From what I can gather from the lady at the rescue centre she was not well treated by the man of the house where she came from. She has lived outside in an outhouse for the last 3yrs and has had a foot up her backside more than once. She is blind in her left eye (not sure how she got that).
MrRTS has sat on the floor next to her since we came home and she is now stretching her head toward him to be stroked and she fell asleep next to him. She won't go in the bed we bought for her yet though. Think it will take a little while for her to trust us but ........... She has a beautiful temperament and I know we are all going to get on wonderfully. We love her already!! Our chocolate lab seems to know she is scared too as she is being so gentle with her :-)
