On the way back from Taupo (and yes we did plan it this way!) we stopped off at Levin to finally pick up little Ms M, who'd completed her 30 days' solitary confinement and we could break her free!
She got sooooooo excited when we turned up we could barely get her out of the unit door! But she soon settled down in her crate in the car.
When we got back she was introduced to her new back yard. Finally we have a fenced yard so we can just kick her out for early morning/pre-sleep toilet breaks - although we have yet to get her into the routine and mindset that this is what is required! We have to start training her from scratch.
Later that afternoon we decided to take her down to Lyall Bay, which has a good stretch of dog beach. As a dog from a central American state, she's not exactly used to the sea or tide, so watching her reaction to the water is interesting! We don't think she'll ever be a water pup, but we'll try to get her more used to it. Maybe after time she'll realise there's nothing to be afraid of?!
She's currently settling into her new lifestyle and seemingly enjoying it (apart from down at the beach!).
