Settling In

Abby Stats: 8 months old

Abby is much more confident and comfortable in her new home. She loves going out in the back yard and playing with Samson (though he gets tired of her). She tries to play a lot with Lilly and Lola (a pair of boxer mixes) next door through the fence. She’s very good about going to the door when she wants out. Problem is, she’s not learned when it’s ok for her to go out, when it’s a bad time; she likes to wake us up in the middle of the night… that’s getting a little old.

Abby is left; Samson is right.

Still Week Two

• Ellie is still scratching at the door. I think she’s getting better with it. Still messing up at times but not any today.
• We bought her a name tag for her collar today.
• Still playing rough with Samson.

Play! Play! Play!

Playing a lot with Samson. Biting lots!

Ellie's 2nd Week

Ellie Stats: 9 weeks old, 25 lbs.

• Ellie and Samson officially play tonight for the first time.
• Oscar is warming up to her as well. He jumped at her in his box, but she didn’t know what to think of it.
• Ellie is also beginning to scratch at the door when she needs to go out; she’s inconsistent at best.
• Ellie is getting much better with the crate. She does not usually whine while she’s in it, and waits quietly (though not always patiently) to be let out.
• Barked back at Samson before backing down from his food.
