The most recent addition to our list of home-boarding dogs was Mia. She was a seven year old GSD x Border Collie. Mia, for me, was the perfect dog. She was at the age where she is content with life, and is happy to sit and watch the world go by her. Though, Im must add, I've never met a dog that moans and groans so much in all of my life. She's a character through and through, down to the "woo woo woo" sound that she makes when she tries to initiate some play. She was also the perfect dog for Ellie. Not only was Mia a calming influence with her naturally laid-back nature, but she just wasn't interested in being with Ellie. That is how Ellie prefers things.

The next interested party is apparently a Daschund. If all goes well, that dog should be with us around the end of October for a couple of days. By the way, Ellie will be eighteen months old next month, so you can expect a big blog post then! :)

Hello,
to answer your question about theraball: we've been training on it regularly for two weeks now and it seems to be totally resistant to nails. My friend has five mini pinchers and they also use a theraball and love making the "dig" trick on it - so far no problems either. The declaration on my ball says it can hold up to 100kg, so Xsara's 11.5kg are a piece of cake.
I riecently got a job in a company that specializes in walking and taking care of dogs while their people are away. I agree it's awesome to be able to spend time with many dogs around, and even get payed for it :)
