Daisy pupdate #2
In the year gone by now, Miss Daisy has come into her own. It’s hard to believe that we have only been together for 2 years. Sometimes it feels like she has always been a part of our family. No longer are we having to drag her anywhere. Around the house she is most comfortable and will rush to the couch to claim her spot before anyone else gets there. We began feeding her in the living room because that was where she was most comfortable. Moving the bowl further and further into the kitchen is where she eats now.
She follows Myah’s lead most of the time but has taught her a thing or two. Like chasing lizards. That is her favorite thing to do outside. She’s actually caught and played with one until I made her let it go. She is so gentle that it survived all the abuse. When you say “squirrel” she and Myah fly along the fence line. She has learned that Grandma is good for getting people food from and she also gives lots of love. She’s taught Myah that the doggy nose will get you pets if you stick it up under the hand or arm and nudge.
Daisy went to doggy school for puppy and intermediate training. She did much better the second time around but was still too nervous to do some of the commands. She will come when called, sit and occasionally lie down. We’re still working on walking on the leash and not trying to trip mommy. She is much better than Myah in the kitchen as she will lie down until the food drops. She will then check out grandma’s lap to see what’s available. She and Myah have been to Dogtown several times and spent the night there together. She seems to enjoy it for the most part as she gets lots of attention from the staff and plays with the other dogs.
Her front legs seem to have healed just fine as she is able to jump up and down off of the couch and the bed just fine. She does lick at one spot and has it a little aggravated but other than that she runs and plays just fine. We now have heard her ‘woof’ a couple of times when she gets overly excited and forgets, but she has still decided not to bark.

Daisy’s first day at Dogtown. She made new friends and wasn't afraid. Well, except for the pool. She's not too fond of walking into water.

Daisy update
Well, it’s been a year since Daisy came into our lives and a lot has changed, mostly for the better. She came to us out of surgery on her front legs that had been broken between the knee and shoulder. Our doctor said that she jumped from something high so it may have been a truck of some kind. She had already had a litter or more of puppies as well. She would hardly stand up and walk and had to be dragged most of the time. Scared to go out of doors unless they were opened wide, and nothing was in the entry. She just didn’t know how to be a dog. She just laid in front of the couch and cowered at any noise, especially thunderstorms. We have just figured out that some of the problem was that Daisy didn’t know her own name. She was afraid of everything and hid when she could. Unfortunately, she liked to hide under the patio where we were not able to get to her without taking up the deck boards! After the second time the whole thing got blocked off. In the meantime, she got lots of loving from us and from Myah. I believe that Myah brought Daisy out of her shell and is teaching her how to be the best, silliest dog ever. She loves to do things with her chin like lay it on the table and look at you with the puppy eyes. DNA testing discovered that she is 100% golden retriever. I took her to doggie school for beginners in August and she began to learn the commands and her name. She loved to hide amongst the dog beds, and we had to learn to avoid them. She graduated and we work on all her commands often as she is lazy and stubborn. We will move on to Intermediate class soon. So now we go for hikes, and she comes with us when we know that we are going to a pet friendly place. She is the best walker ever! She and Myah now play together, and she will run around outside. Daisy is still lazy but will now get on the bed with us and plays with Myah on the couch constantly. She is becoming the most loving dog that we’ve ever had and aside from chewing things is GREAT!! Can’t wait to see what she does next year!
