THISTLE JUMPS UP 19 JULY 2012
Hugh writes: Ms. Thissley has been busy, and working hard being a better girl every day (less & less "woodworking' and such). Your "diamond in the rough" is more & more a joyful & sweet diamond enjoying her summer as a puppy! Her hip is so strong that she now rears up on her hind legs to put her front paws in your lap before she settles on her front legs across your lap, looking for a hug and words of encouragement (we'll worry about controlling the jump-up later; for now, we want to give her the affection she is requesting). She has a pure & sweet heart and we adore her (she likes us OK, too.)
	We're working the 20-foot lunge line in the park at the beach for exercise & training. She loves it. Here she is arriving at the beach for lunge line play. She is either smiling or saying, Let's get the long lead out, Hugh. C'mon! Maybe both.
SIDNEY HARDIE: What a great update. It makes me so happy to hear that Thistle is getting stronger and happier.
Thanks to everyone's generous donations, Thistle is on the road to recovery, and at this time there is no need for additional donations to help cover her veterinary expenses. Once again the Airedale Community has come through to support a 'dale in need. will continue to update us on her progress.
