She's doing better this morning. Got her out of the crate--with effort--and took her outside, and as soon as she does her dog business she turns and runs back to the house, up the stairs, down the hall and back to her crate. It's clearly her safe space. Belle is curious and a little maternal and Murph couldn't care less. But he did let her drink her fill from the water bowl as he stood patiently waiting. Good boy.
Belle is starting to warm up, but she still comes to me for attention and validation a lot more than usual. She's not quite sure yet but she's trying.
She's eating and drinking now, and I got the first tail wag from her when I came in from work today, but she's still not coming out of that crate.
That's OK. We've got time.
And I'm leaning towards "Angel".
Beautiful soulful eyes. I'm glad she found you.
ReplyDeleteHey Murphy;
ReplyDeleteYeah, she will get better once she figures that you are "trustworthy". She is watching you and seeing how you interact with Belle and Murphy, Dogs are naturally social and pack animals, she will want to join the other dogs escaping the fence, chasing the feral chickens near your house or many other things. You done good with her.
Bless you, Murph.
ReplyDeleteYou're a good man, Murph.
ReplyDeleteAngel is what she calls you, Murph.
ReplyDeleteAngel! Yes!
ReplyDeleteYep, that works too!
ReplyDeleteAngel is a fine name. And you're a saint my friend, bless you for taking her in.
