Short update and a huge thank you!

[Eva and Fenway]

Hi everyone, 

 

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all of the wonderful folks who responded to my initial worrywart posting about my new pup. Fen has adjusted beautifully to her new home. After a short week, she's settled down a great deal. The biggest change has been the barking.. Fenway no longer freaks out without me being there, which I think is really exciting considering that a week ago she was inconsolable if I wasn't hands-on at all times.

 

Socialization has gone really well. She basically loves everything and everyone, including my two cats (who aren't very enthusiastic, but don't seem to mind either). She was a big hit at her first vet visit today as well and charmed everybody. Is this normal??? What a gregarious breed :)

 

Again, THANK YOU to the DK forum for helping soothe my nerves over doing the 'wrong thing'. 

 

Oh, and I'm totally in love.. she has me wrapped around her paw with visions of training her up to someday be a TDI dog. Can't wait to start puppy classes in a few weeks.

You can thank us by continuing to take photos and post stories about your little Fenway!

Once she starts holding still, I'll definitely be posting some pics!  :)

We are all here for each other at DK.  Lord knows it's been a lifesaver to most of us!  This network is simply amazing and it is the first thing I check when I turn my computer on in the morning!  It's like a lifeline.  

Fenway is adorable and I'm so happy that he is adjusting so well.  My pup is 14 weeks old today.  I've had him just 3 weeks and I can't imagine life without my little 'Dood'.

It sounds like Fenway is making great progress, and Fenway's Mom is totally in love!  This is great.

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

So glad things are looking up!

Oh what a doll!!!  The cats are tolerating Fenway?  Amazing.  I wonder what they will think when she grows???  Oh puppy licks.  Have fun with your new adorable girl.

[Eva and Fenway]

So far, so good. I have two cats, one of which takes it with a grain of salt although he hates when she barks and sort of gives her this "how tacky" kind of expression. The other spends most of her time under the bed, but comes out to investigate from a distance. I am glad she's smaller than them for now. Hopefully this is helping.

HOORAY!

 

Last night Fenway did not bark or whimper a single time when I went to bed. I've been leaving her separate from me in her pen, partially for consistency and partially because my room is firmly cat domain. She will occasionally voice her desire for attention, but she does not freak out anymore unless I place her in her crate with the door closed.
