Thank you all for your kind comments. I just can't believe how sweet this dog is. Her and Ruby just love each other. She is a bit mothering with Ruby - and she spends quite a bit of time licking/cleaning her - neither of my dogs are that bothered about cleaning themselves - lazy so and so's!

You are so right there Sally, I love training. At the moment though, she needs a little bit more time to just settle in and get used to being in a different environment and being around dogs that don't just want to hump her. I have started doing some recall work with her, and sit - sometimes she does it, sometimes not. With Honey it's going to be case of tiny little sessions - she hasn't had to think much for the past 7 years, so it's a bit harder for her than it would be for a younger dog. She is showing a lot more interest in treats now, which is great - that's half the 'training' battle won!
