HANDAN AT HOME

We recently received the following from Lisa and wanted to share it with you all as many of you had been following Handan’s Tale.

” Hi Kim,

I thought I’d give you another update!

Our groomer came yesterday and Handan just had a bath and some fuss and was a very good girl! She’s really fancying herself now she’s all poofy and has her special Christmas bow.

I am amazed that she mastered toilet training within 24 hours and just got into a routine straight away. I’d like to say that it’s my amazing dog skills but actually she just seemed to twig what my other two dogs were doing and that was it! She’s great with other dogs on her walks and doesn’t react to any yapping ones we pass. She’s a champion napper too as you’ll see from the pictures and so snuggly. It’s all been far easier than I was expecting.

Before Handan came my husband and I were really struggling with grief after losing our dog Keo earlier in the year. The tumour took her so quickly and so young at 9 and we were so shocked and sad. We got Handan in honour of Keo and because something positive needed to come out of something so awful. I thought it would be very unfair to put the expectation on Handan to “mend our broken hearts”, but I have to say that she is doing it anyway and I’m convinced that you actually sent us a little Christmas angel in disguise. She is really living up to her name and has brought us real Joy. We’ll never forget Keo but Handan is absolutely magic and we adore her.

I’ll check in again in the new year. We’re taking her to a cottage by the sea in Norfolk in February so I’ll hopefully send you some pictures of her running on the beach with those big long legs
