As much as I miss my old friend Freeway, hubby and I adopted a new gal by the name of Chloe. She is a 3 year old mountain cur mix and a delight to have. We got her from our local shelter on August 20th. Unfortunately, she had been an abused gal for most of her 3 years, and was kept caged and used as a puppy mill. She is the
sweetest, gentlest dog and it infuriates me to think that there are people out there who will do such things to a dog. Her front teeth are very short from gnawing on the cage. She is extremely skittish, and will jump at the slight sound or moves. It will take some time for her to overcome her past, but we are patient. She is just now starting to gain our trust, but if we make to fast of a gesture she will run to her safe place under our coffee table in the living room. Her other safe place is under my desk in my office.
Right now we are playing a game, or rather she is playing a game with us on getting her out of the house and on a leash to go for her daily walk. I have to pretend that I am leaving and that she has to watch the house while hubby and I are gone. I begin to walk away and wouldn’t you know it, Chloe goes to the front door and sits until we get her leash on. Of course, sometimes she will run off as soon as I approach her to put her leash on. Then the whole process begins again, until I finally get the leash on, and turn her over to hubby to take her for her walk.
So now you know about my new family addition, and I am so glad that we found such a sweet, loveable pooch!
