There’s a brand new woman on the town…and her identify is Marnie Marie.
Marnie for brief.
I discussed this a number of days in the past, however we took on a brand new boarder, or quite a brand new Aussie Shepherd. This was the tip of our first week collectively.
Oh! — however earlier than I overlook, right here’s a very cool story. A pair days after we adopted Marnie, we took her in for her first wellness vet checkup. Proper after we pulled out of the driveway on the vet, I noticed a well-known face on the sidewalk.
It was Marnie’s brother!
Yup, one of many crew members on the Marin Humane Society was out on a stroll with Marnie’s brother Rusty, who was nonetheless on the shelter. We pulled the automobile over, and so they obtained to say hey. They acknowledged one another instantly.
Marnie remains to be getting acclimated to her new dwelling, however she’s been a doll.
We’re taking introductions with Rosie slowly. Rosie has briefly moved into the upstairs master suite, whereas Marnie lives downstairs. We did that for many of the week, and all has gone nicely. No barking or hissing but, and since that has gone nicely, we’ve launched the newborn gate.
For a pair minutes at a time, we’ve allow them to get near the place they’ll see and sniff one another via the gate, after which we lavish them each with a lot of optimistic reward and treats when all goes nicely.
To this point, so good!
We’re taking it slowly as a result of Marnie got here from a house that additionally had a cat, however Marnie and her brother have been surrendered again to the shelter for causes we solely partly know. We simply know that it wasn’t a very good state of affairs for them, and so they have been returned.
These unknowns, coupled with the truth that Rosie is a mature woman and doesn’t take crap from anybody… So we’re taking a pleasant gradual method with the introductions.
Hopefully everybody will get alongside.
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
Karen
