Annie Solei

Yvette, We are so happy to have Annie in our lives! She is adjusting to life in our home pretty well. I don't think she has eaten any kibble (Iams for large dogs), or barely any, in a day, but gladly accepts some chicken dog treats from my 5 year old daughter who has "trained" her to come, watch, and sit. I realize she is very new with us so I am not worried yet. We had the invisible fence installed today and she only got 2 shocks and probably never will again because she has figured it out good. Yikes, that was hard to see. The crate I bought, thinking of a 55 lb lab/mix, was too small because she is very tall. She stayed in it one night, and a few minutes that we had to leave the house yesterday, then would not go in it last night, even after she and I had a long discussion about it. I noticed that she would like to sleep on a bed. So, I am giving the crate to my sister's dog, and I am sending you a photo of "plan B" as I call it. I have a mudroom entrance from the garage where I had the crate and designated as her room, so I just put up a baby gate that I had around, got her a bed from the thrift shop, and close her in that room while nobody's home and it seems to work so far. It's pretty funny. I made an appointment at the vet next week to get acquainted, too. My cats go to a "cat only" veterinarian so I am going to meet one recommended by my sister for the dog. Thank you so much for the role you played in bringing us together and to all the people at PRBJ who helped make this possible. I hope you can reassure her "parents" who surrendered her that she will be well cared for and loved. Sincerely, Marty
