Mary,
I changed Tara’s name to Ella and she is adapting well. My dog Carlos is beginning to accept her, and lucky for me, he is now barking at her instead of me. They are starting to play together and I think that they will be great friends. The cats are another story – but they’ll eventually come around.
I took her to the vet and the vet was impressed and said that she looks perfectly healthy. She was very calm at the vet and everyone fell in love with her.
Of course, there have been some mishaps – she ate my glasses – went to the bathroom in my bed and is definitely a chewer. I’ve been through this already and know that this behavior will end. She is fine with the crate although she occasionally howls when she wants out.
Thank you very much for bringing Ella to me.
Take care – and please don’t hesitate to follow up. Some pictures of Ella on her first day at my house are below. The other dog is my dog Carlos who is clearly annoyed and the woman is my mother.
