Hi everyone-Well, it's been a week since our new girl has been in her new home. She has made remarkable progress in her short time here. When she first arrived she wouldn't come in or out of the house on her own, couldn't or wouldn't go up or down any of the stairs, ran away when we tried to put her leash on and froze when outside on her leash, didn't eat, and was afraid of EVERYTHING. Our little guy was not to crazy about her being here, but when I reminded him that I was the pack leader things have been uneventful (which is good). Tess wants to play with him desperately, but he is still getting used to the idea. I have caught him playing with her when he thought nobody was watching.
Over the past couple of days Tess has been excited to go outside and is going to the bathroom outside much more consistently and in a shorter amount of time. She has also mastered the all of the stairs, although it is not at all graceful! The two are taking walks together and are figuring out how to stay out of each other's way while walking. Her personality is starting to come out, she is so lovable and cannot get enough attention. The advice and tips in the articles we were given about integrating a new dog were so helpful and made our transition much smoother.
Sincerely,
Meghan & Matt
