Thank you again SO much for connecting me with my new family: my new Mom Heidi
and Dad Nick, their boys, and my new "sister" Maddie. As you
suspected, I curled up in the back seat with Maddie for the long drive to my new home. We stopped
on the way at a rest stop for a walk/pee/exploration break, then Maddie and I settled in on the back seat again.
The boys seem to adore me already, and the feeling is mutual. When we got home we hung out in our yard for about an hour. I explored with Maddie, and I had bursts of, "Oh, boy!"
exuberation and delight, where I'd run up to my new family bouncing, then race around, grab a toy, etc., then go back to sniffing and exploring.
At first
I barked at their horse, but he's pretty boring, so I'm ignoring him now. When we went back inside I met the cats but they're pretty boring too. Then there was lots of play with Maddie in the living room with the whole family watching and laughing
at us.
I've got lots of toys to play with and lots of love and I feel
so happy and secure.
I've sent you a bunch of pictures of Maddie and me that my Mom and Dad took. I'm
the 7.2-pound one.
By the way, my new Mom has renamed me. My new name is Roxy.
Well,
I'm off now to sleep on the leather chair by the fire with Nick.
Thanks again.
Your friend,
Dottie
