Have fun on the first walk!

Tell us about new pooch! Have you discovered what she already knows?

Doughboy crawled out of his den today- is doing yardwork, possibly building a shed. More details to come... but first a teaser: he's trying to mow sticks with his lawnmower (and it's not working too well- keeps stalling. LOL).

Good Moring OT & Hair (although it is about noon.) Gypsy did fine on the walk, walked up to store and back through the neighborhoods, she didn't bark back at any of the numerous dogs that barked at her. Walks well on the leash.

She sorta knows "sit", that's about it, so far. She is kinda skitish on the stairs to the second floor, both up and down. She does not know "come" yet, but she will fetch the tennis ball to you.

Well, she is settling in, considering its been less than 24 hours. She did sleep through the night. We've been brushing her, not sure when the last brushing was, but she enjoys it.

All in all, I think we all (her and us and the kitties) will be a cohesive unit afore long. :-)
