We picked up "Bristolia" about 11pm last night. She's so affectionate. She wants to be so close to you, and is just constantly pushing to be near you. She was a sweetheart on the ride home, no drooling, whining, nothing. We got home and introduced our current dog, Port and she instantly climbed onto Port's back to play. Port was a bit cautious and jealous but is OK with her. I'm sure they'll be playing together within a day or two. She has no idea what to do with toys. We gave her a monkey with a squeaker when we first got in the car and she barely sniffed it. She started to catch on when Port was playing with his ball so I'm sure it'll come in time.
She went for a nice walk - refused to pee and went immediately on the carpet when we got inside. Something we're going to need to work on. Then she got her "italian shower." We wiped her down with some wet washclothes, it didn't do much. She smells like a sewer and has some pretty bad dandruff. I can't wait to give her a bath!Then they each had a treat and we went to bed.
She peed outside this morning (after a small accident on the rug) and we made a big deal about what a good girl she was. I'm sure she'll catch on. Tonight we're going to my mother in law's house. She has a crate that we are going to get for her so that she doesn't pee in the house during the day until she is fully potty trained.
We need a good name for her. Bristolia is too long and awkward. Maybe Bri or Lea...or Dave came up with Thai. We noticed her nose is a bit dry and she has a little nose thing going on, nothing serious. Just sounds like a little piggy when she gets excited. I'm sure it'll clear up in the next couple days, but maybe we should name her after a famous pig or something.
I'll keep you updated. Please send me any paperwork or info on the foster program.
