Edie – 8 month old female Cane Corso
Edie is an 8 month old female Cane Corso who came into our care as part of a cruelty case. Despite her start in life, she is determined to be happy, and since she has entered the system she’s been nothing but sweet and playful.
Edie is currently in foster care in Cornwall with a male Corso, a female Corso and a female Lab as well as kids and livestock. Nothing phases this girlie as her foster carer describes:
Well she survived her first night with us! She slept very soundly and quietly in her crate, no fussing. Ate her breakfast of puppy food and beef heart, loves it. Has had no toilet accidents, since one yesterday afternoon when she first arrived. She is a delight, so happy to see us all this morning full body wag! Loves playing with a Kong and Maude, keeps a respectful distance from Koo and Xeuno, really loves my youngest Max, follows him about wanting strokes.
She has met four new people who came to the house today, all greeted happily seems to be no hang ups with men or women or children, just wants to love and be loved and we are all happy to oblige!
Edie continues to amaze me. Took her for a little stroll around the village this evening, on a short lead she walks perfectly to heel. Every now and then you feel a little nose nuzzle your hand as she walks alongside you. Typical Corso in the dark, sticking to your side and doing the odd recky around her every now and then. She is just sooo happy and her tail wags every time she sees one of us. Here she is chilling out after her little stroll.
Edie went to Xueno’s ringcraft class this evening. She was great, interested and friendly with all dogs and even trotted around the hall with Becky tail up and wagging. There was a baby there that cried , her ears went up and she did look concerned. She has started to sit on command, aswell, clever girl
Edie has no formal training but her foster carers are working wonders with her and she’s very keen to learn.
*Update*
Here are some pics of Edie I took tonight on our field. She was racing around with the others and running shoulder to shoulder with Koo and Xueni it made my heart sing!
She is now on two meals a day 75 % raw 25% puppy food, still looks a bit skinny but I think she mustn’t gain weight too quickly. She plays beautifully with the other dogs not dominant in any way. She lets me brush her now, her ears are manky free. She takes treats gently, walks nicely on the lead. Enjoyed a visit to the local pub made herself very comfortable and made lots of friends.
The ONLY thing we are working on is she does like to barge out the door/ gate first however she is getting better and learning wait.
Edie is a sweetheart absolutely no trouble and is welcome to stay with us for as long as she needs.
Edie did really well today, someone left the gate open, the other side of the gate are the chickens! Mine know they must not go through the gate on their own, but Miss Edie could not resist the temptation of a flapping chicken to chase so off she went straight through the gate!
Closely followed by me in my calmest voice, yet a little panicy inside, Edieeeeee come good girl, and blow me she did! Could have been a complete fluke but its a good start to her recall training!
Edie is healing really well, we havent had any complications, she didnt lick her stitches which saved her from the dreaded helmet. She has a check up on Tuesday at the vets, then she is sorted. Her recall is really good on the field and she will leave her doggy friends to come when called. She sits and does down and is getting better at barging through the door or gate!Her appitite is healthy and she is full RAW now, really enjoying it, and she no longer drinks the gallons of water she did when she first arrived. She is a little angel.
