Big sigh of relief! So glad to hear this, Sas!
Well, Miss Quincy has been on her "incontinence medication" for a week now and after only 2 days of taking it, she stopped leaking completely :D Not seeing any side effects so it seems like it is going all very well for her :) I will however, miss seeing her in her diaper, hahaha...she looked like a little monkey wearing it :p

We had our last training for this year :( I will miss it and so will Quins. We did get our "diploma" and a lot of praise to go with it :D Here's a video of our last training...

And here's one of Quincy taking of my neckbrace :)

And this is Bob, an 11 month old yellow Lab. He's a very high energy dog and his owner, was my trainer during the course I took with Quins :) She asked me if I wanted to help her to train Bob and of course I said yes...way too much fun :D Here you see him during a training session where he has to touch the drawer with his nose (in order to close it...in the future) He was soooo tired that he fell asleep, stretched out on my bed in the livingroom :p He comes once or twice a week for some training and me helping his owner to train him, gosh it's so much fun :D

So all and all, things are going well with Miss Quincy, myself and our life :) We lead a full and satisfactory life, in harmony and complete understanding of each other. I kind of had forgotten how wonderful life can be, how peaceful life feels, despite all the hardships, when you have a true companion at your side, when you have a truly problemless relationship with your dog. And...when you have a dog so dedicated and so devoted as Quincy is :)
Saskia and Miss Quincy :)
Oh Quincy is brilliant! You two make an excellent team.
Wow, 11 month old, full of energy at that age and all over the place with their legs if I remember correctly. That must be fun to train Bob.
Hugs
She is just beautiful and it is so obvious she is in heaven by your side!
Things are still going well here :D Quins is as happy as can be and still growing and develloping herself.
With the cold weather, she has a lot more work to do...4 times a day (after our walks), she has to take all my extra winterclothing off meaning gloves, coat, shoes and ski-pants. Four times a day and she loves every one of those 4 :D Apart from these four times, she also has to take off my clothes when we go for our afternoon nap and of course at night around bedtime. So that's 6 times a day :)

Some days she has to do it even more often for example when I have to go to hospital. She will take off my coat in a full waitingroom with a complete stranger filming her...no problem, that coat has to come off :D

One of the charactertraits I love in her, is her determination. She will try and try untill she succeeds in her task. Or if her ball rolls under the couch, she doesn't come running to me...she will lay on the floor, tries to get the ball from underneath the couch with one frontpaw...then the other, she will try from a different angle, roll over backwards just to get the ball herself :) Here you see her with three pretty large (for her) packages she needs to hand to me. But the packages are getting in her way, they are difficult to hold, she needs to lift them up and over my footrest, all and all a difficult task for her. But all you see is a determined dog, enjoying it so much to try and get the task done... A very proud little doggy that will let nothing and no one stop her from doing and completing her task :D

I am so proud of her...
Saskia and Quincy :)
I love how she does every task with such joy and she learns what works as she goes. (the packages, the last one she had it figured out). That tail is always going, you can just tell how happy she is.
I'm proud of both of you!!
hugs
What a wonderful girl she is and so proud of what she does!

Bedtime in The Netherlands, sweet dreams in advance from us to you :)

Hi Sas!
Have been away from the forum since Miss Chloe's passinga year ago but here I am with a new little treasure, Miss Peaches, who has Cushing's and diabetes. We are in the very beginning stage of regulating both diseases but we will take one day at a time. When I left the forum you were going through a very rough time and I am so glad that you now have Quincy!

Carrol, how wonderful to "see" you again :) And with that oh so cute little Miss Peaches no less :D What a wonderful person you are for adopting this gorgeous little girl that has Cushing's and diabetes...what a lucky girl she is to have landed in your loving arms :)
And yes indeed, we both were in a rough place a year ago. I lost my Mhina on december 27th 2013, just a few days before you lost your Miss Chloe...
But look at us now, both here again, both back with a new girl :)
Really glad you're here again (and of course, not because of the Cushings...but you know what I mean)...
Hugs,
Sas and Quincy :)
