Trudy is really
home!.......
Trudy
Trudy is a wonderful little (7 yr. old
MinPin) girl & is settling in beautifully. It’s been 4 weeks since we
brought her home, and we are IN-LOVE with her!
In the morning, she loves to race into the yard, exploring at length any
smells might have changed from the night before, checking out every
corner. She really likes to find the chipmunk holes and digs to flush
them out. If big fur-sister Tasha barks, she barks (so cute). Such a big
dog in such a little body. She races back in, and is full of energy,
attacking her squeaky toys one after another, and “killing” them, while
I throw them to her & laugh. Then time for breakfast. After that she
hangs out on the bed, watching me get ready for work.
She tags along for the ride to drop the kids off at school, and hasn’t
gotten car-sick once yet. The first few times she was a little nervous
about where she might be going, but now is happy to look out the window
(“wow, did you see that bird?”) and smell any smells coming in thru the
window; even laying down & just enjoying the ride.
When it’s time for mom to leave the house, she sure doesn’t like it. At
first, we built a door to separate her from Tasha, and although I left
Animal Planet on tv for her, she cried & scratched at the door, breaking
my heart…. But BIG NEWS! After 2 weeks we left her loose in the house
for a little while to hang with Tasha - & although I was a little
nervous, we came home to 2 happy dogs at the front door! So we are all
very happy with that change in events!
Her potty-training is improving vastly as well. Her mistakes are
minimal. She especially likes it when we’re all home. She watches
intently when Tom is cooking at the stove, hoping he’ll let something
good fall to the floor, then settles into her bed in the kitchen as we
check our emails, or the kids do their homework. Then up on the couch
with the kids to watch tv, to be cuddled & scratched some more. Then off
to bed… she’s happy to sleep with anyone who gets her first. Trudy’s a
cuddler; wanting to be scratched & petted, using her paws on us to
‘grab’ us until we comply. The end of another beautiful day.
We are so happy with her. God bless whoever got her out of the mill /
PMR. We are so grateful.
