Just look at this picture!!...and see the ease with which Nanette takes a stance and laps the water!!! So what??.... It was only a few months ago that we would be obliged to go a long way round on our town walk to avoid this ' dangerous monster!!!
Nanette was terrified of both Fountains....this one being the biggest represented the greatest threat!!....( installed in the town since her arrival here with me 4 years ago,)....
Nanette





It happened once before recently...and then again yesterday. Nanette and Bertie have begun playing with each other. Although this is very charming, it is also a big worry!! In the first place, Nanette is 27 kilos and Bertie only 5, which puts him at a considerable disadvantage
I would like to jump forward briefly to the present day in this account of Nanette's Life.
My first attempts at getting Nanette to a Cafe were a nightmare for both of us. You might well ask why I bothered?!! Let's just say that at this stage, even though I had decided to follow my own instincts and intuition, I was still influenced at times by comments and remarks made by those around me and that which I read on the Internet.
Inevitably, this event with our friend, the 'Drunk' put us back, nevertheless I continued socialising Nanette by visits to the town on a daily basis. Nanette's fear of other dogs!!! and birds!!( I do mean the feathered variety!!) was also a handicap!! She simply would not stay in the garden for any length of time anyway but if a bird flew over she'd dive into the apartment!! SO...what with dogs, birds, men and traffic as well as noise....well! we had a lot to face and overcome.
Having overcome the difficulty of getting Nanette through the electronic gates, I was determined to build on that success and her increasing confidence. To this end, I set out the following day to repeat the trip into town.
