Sofi's First Day

After a week of waiting for "Emily" to finish her hookworm treatment, Andre and I went to pick her up on Monday afternoon. She was petrified and just stood there in the reception area, shaking. Andre carried her to the car. She had been bathed at the shelter, but was still very stinky. So we took her straight to the Pawsh Wash for another bath.



As soon as we walked in, the woman working there recognized her and came over to help us. She said she had bathed "Emily" the previous Saturday at the shelter.

Once we arrived home, the introductions began and went much more smoothly than we had anticipated. Tucker was a perfect gentledog and was very sweet. She stopped shaking once we got her inside and put her in the crate (thanks Maureen!!) She eagerly ate some dinner and settled into her new nest.

We managed to get her out of the crate to go outside a couple of times before bed, but she didn't pee or poop, and hadn't done anything since we left the shelter.
After an uneventful night, I heard her peeing/pooping in the crate at about 6am, so I hopped up and carried her outside before she made a big mess.
