After school on Friday Heather, Alexandra and I went to visit Gina in Wan Chai SPCA. It was a long journey from school (though it should have been shorter) and we were a bit grumpy when we got there.
However when we walked up to the fostering area there was this big fluffy lump who just wanted to play with us. Gina is about 40 kg a powerful girl.
Her manners were not good and she was having to learn how to behave with people. She tended to jump up and tried to mouth us to attract our attention. Turning our backs on her worked to calm her until the end of our play time when she was hyper and as I turned my back on her she jumped up and bit my bum. Ouch, bruises.
I knew that our offer of fostering was her only chance - she wouldn't home behaving like that and being such a big girl means she would not foster anywhere else. So we decided to try her at home and hope she would learn her manners with training and patience.
