Hi everyone! Cerise is finally with me. I took time off to help her adjust to her new home. It has been a challenging and rewarding combination that I wouldn't trade for nothing in the world.
She did great flying from Birmingham, to Dallas (plane change) to Austin on Valentine's Day
She was a bit nervous arriving to her new home, but with lots of hugs and kisses she warmed up to the idea. She sleeps with me and take has been a blessing to her adjustment. After two days she took over my TV chair...LOL But she realized it's mine to share with her, so she now moves over, and makes room for me when she sees me coming
The biggest challenge was to get her to eat. She does not like dog food! She's very finicky. I had planned to cook for her and that is whats working. Though I spent the first four days hand feeding and coaching her. She was stubborn at first but since Friday she's been cleaning the plate on her own at each meal
but only after I say "eat" for about ten times
LOL
Okay, what I need is advice on how to get her to drink her water. She was scared of the bowls I bought so I put the water in a very small coffee cup and held it, but I have to be persistent (I put the food on a small heart shaped plate the curves up) She will drink from a large bottle cap with ease
She LOVES to go for walks and we have been going every morning and evening, even in the rain. I have a raincoat and jacket for her. I take her to an adorable neighborhood park and she loves it in the mornings, but is still nervous about the crowd she sees in the evenings. This probably will change over time.
Oh and she has been completely quiet this last week and only made a little sound when she was dressed on Saturday to go walking and I was not getting myself ready fast enough, LOL
Cindy thank you so much for this lovely baby!
