HELP NEEDED WITH SCARED RESCUE

I don't know - she is the first of mine to do it but obviously thinks it is very important.

 

Gypsy has had her first bath - she hated the water but did not mind being dried.   She is now two shades lighter, soft and shiny and smells nicely of Kennel No. 5.

Mulling it over in a "what would I do" sort of way, started to wonder why it is at this stage a need for her to go, or be taken, for walks.  Given the walkies purpose aside from mild exercise is a boredom-buster, enrichment, socialising experience.  If Gypsy has always been an outside dog, isn't just the challenge/experience/enrichment of learning "inside" as good as a walk from her doggie viewpoint?  I'm not saying maintain her indoors for a lifetime, but for now it seems to offer enough of new experiences and learning curves to keep her happy and secure without being bored witless for the time being.

 

If she was happy to meet the dog-washer and accept a bath from a stranger, she doesn't sound needy to get out and about just now to meet people.

Gypsy is now well and truly settled.   I get cuddled frequently, especially first thing in the morning when she rushes to beat Bella to be the first to give me a kiss.   Thank you allso much for all your help, encouragement and suggestions.

Awwww...

An update - We lost Bella - she was old and her dementia became too much for her.

 

Now my lovely Gypsy has a brother - Rex - from Australian Koolie Rescue.   Rex was a worker but his farmer became too sick to keep his farm.   He is about 11 and is an absolute darling - very soft and cuddly.
