DeeDee's first day out

We took Deedee to Pets at Home today.  She was tied in the boot of the car this time as we want to start how we mean to carry on.  She was quite unsettled in the boot, but I sat in the back and reassured her.  We travelled for about 20mins to the store.  Being able to travel in the car is very important to us as we get about quite a bit.

At the store Deedee was amazingly well behaved.  She met other dogs and puppies and was very sociable.  She was extremely keen to meet the rabbits in the pens, we had to keep a good strong hold on her to prevent her from getting in with them.  We bought her a reflective collar and a harness of her own.  Along with a dog toy which is a football with rope on either end.

After visiting the pet shop we took her for a short walk in Calder Valley as I want her to associate going out in the car with nice walks.

Upon returning home, Tilly our Jack Russell who has been very anti Deedee since we fetched her home decided to have a go at playing with her, we let them out into the garden and they had a bit of a play, however after a few minutes, Deedee got to much for her and she bared her teeth.  We were just pleased that Tilly played at all and was happy for the small step in the right direction.  Tilly seems a little bit more settled with her being here now and Kimmy is still indifferent.
