Jillian is currently sleeping not in my lap, or under my chair, or by my feet. The dogs are starting to bond with each other. Here is a pic of her & Mercedes napping together.
When the mailman came by today, I watched them. Mercedes barked first, then my ferocious little Button's, of course Yogi is barking loudest now & Jillian started barking. (first time I've heard this) The other dogs turned around, noticed her, looked at her & they all moved together to guard the front door from the strange guy that delivers paper stuff & sometimes cool snacks.
Jillian had a rough morning. After snapping at another dog, her new mommy put her on the floor & ignored her attempts to come back up. Then she played a cool game where everyone took turns jumping on mom's lap.
Jillian had a groomer tend to her this morn, a trip to the vet, her old shelter to get some papers. Good thing Jillian likes the car!
Jillian has no clue that mommy worried that she might have thought she was being dropped off again when she left her at the groomers. But Jillian knows that mommy was thrilled when she picked her up and Jillian acted like Mommy had always been her owner & wriggled, wagged & kissed her to death. Even the other groomers were saying...."OH my! She loves her mommy!
Jillian got a new sweater since mommy was worried she might get cold after her haircut.
What Jillian doesn't know is how bad she had it in the shelter. What she does know now is that she has a family, & even though her new mommy got stupid for a minute this morning, she feels loved.
