Mutts & Mops

Finally got around to making a Mutts & Mops rainbow album for my girl Gypsy. Her family approached me yeeears ago when they first adopted her, and seemed very apprehensive... She was the sweetest thing at home, very calm and loving, even/especially when they had a new baby! They needed someone to walk her during the work day, but she was very temperamental when out on walks - super reactive, and would start fights with other dogs. I spent a lot of time hiding in bushes with her while other dogs went past. But she was so happy to be out, super fast, easily engaged with games and sticks and treats.
Eventually with Uncle Floyd, bestie Didz, and her other doggy friends (her relationship especially with Bronte the cocker spaniel was just the best thing I ever witnessed) we got her super confident and all her reactivity and stress disappeared. She did, however, approach everything with full energy - nothing was not done at full speed, including grabbing sticks, flying over huge logs... Dog most likely to have a boot on, staples in a paw pad, or a cone of shame 🤣 One day I had to rush her to the car and off to the nearest vet when she barge-rushed a barbed wire fence at full speed. She bled all over my van, there was so much of it... But she bounced back! Oh my days. The only time I have been more worried about a dog in my care was that time Rosie ate her owners' 2 huge bars of Lindt 85%. She was also a black greyhound. Lordy dordy.
Love you Gypsy girl
