we have adopted another DS (mix thingy) I posted in the photos forum about Nico and he arrived via commercial flight (smoothest thing ever so glad we didn't try ground transport!) yesterday afternoon.
Stella was hella barky and throwing a fit at first but last night I had her on her leash and my husband had Nico on his and she approached him calmly he stood perfectly still while she sniffed him up and down... lots of butt sniffing... she put her neck over the back of his... then her paw on his back.... neither of them made any noise.... she had her e color on and I had my finger on the button just waiting for her to eat the poor little pup but she didn't! I have no idea what she was doing to him but it almost seemed ritualistic HA..... now this morning she got barky again when she realized he was still here so I know this will take some time but I'm happy with how day 1 went!
Now Nico.... he is the oddest looking little thing ever... he has crazy hips and lays like a frog.... he barks like a beagle (it's hilarious) and is as sweet as can be... he has no interest in toys.... doesn't take a second glance at squirrels and is pretty much the exact opposite of Stella. He looks shepherdy... kinda... houndy... maybe pitty and there has to be a touch of frog in there.... I'm so glad we decided to get another rescue... they really compliment each other.... the next few weeks will be an adjustment for everyone... I'm so used to my super obedient... drivey... machine dog... and now I have this puppy (16 months) that is just a big marshmallow and maybe a moron but I LOVE him.... here are some pics!
