Lilly likes the car!She wants! Yeh, Lilly likes the water and in a calm bay where the waves aren't tossing up on the beach and making her nervous, she wades in, tail high and... sits, neck deep. Darn! Where's my camera when I need it. On one stretch of windy beach, with Stilts running excitedly in and out of the surf, Lilly actually gets frisky and bows to her inviting play. A magical moment. As normal, Stilts tells her to get lost...

Exhausted, wet and sandy we head home. Breakfast for Lilly (my others eat only once a day, in the evenings) and no qualms about heading into the crate with a wag to eat it.Later that day, in the evening cool, Jolfha takes them for a stroll and feeds Lilly her second meal, locking her in and hoping to leave her for a while. Oops! Lilly soon 'asks' to be let out. Wisely, Jolfha takes no notice, but comes to sit with Lilly, who soon settles behind the bars for a snooze. Which is where I found them both when Martin and I return from the cinema. Couldn't ask for better.
In the middle of the night, huddled again on the cold floor by choice, Lilly decides there must be somewhere warmer and more comfortable. She wanders into the open crate where a soft and warm dog bed awaits her, and sleeps soundly and quietly. I don't see it happen, but at 4am she is in the crate, and she's still there at 8. Have we cracked crate training?
Summary Day Two
Diarrhoea clearing up by itself
Although she won't jump into the car by herself, she's no problem once inside and is iterested in the sights outside. Thankfully not a dog that gets car sick.
The whizzing bikes still make her a little nervous
First signs of a playful 'young' dog emerge
She's settling in the house, relaxed enough to lie down and nap frequently.
