Heidi’s being naughty! I caught her with her head in the bin yesterday eating a sweet wrapper, then she went & had a good lick at Meg’s bowl (unheard of), & on our walk she ambled up someones drive to have a good root around their garage! In all the time Heidi has been a part of my life she has always looked to me for direction & will check in to see whether it’s ok to do something, so this wanton behaviour is an utter delight. She’s started to make her own decisions & use her own brain (which is possibly an organ underused until now) – it’s great fun watching her blossom. She’ll even sit with her chin resting on the table while we eat.
Meg & Heidi have had a couple of spats in the last few days. Heidi invariably ends up squashed on the floor but is now giving as good as she gets. The dynamic between the 2 of them is definitely changing. Thankfully, when it’s finished they are completely happy together & trot along on their walks like a couple of old twits sometimes.
After the Pulsatilla plussing HRH was extremely clingy again & spent much of it pushed up against my leg, & then after the Carcinosin her bark got stronger – it’s positively loud now!
Every day she presents us with a different aspect of this amazing personality of hers. She will never be a bad dog & we celebrate her naughtiness.
