So, as some of you may know, I recently adopted a dog from
Saving Grace Rescue & Adoption!
Two weeks ago, Kyle, my mother, and I all went to see Sienna at
SG way up Creedmoor Road. I was a little
apprehensive, and I did not expect much to come out of the meeting because I
looked at several dogs in the past two months and I never felt comfortable with
getting any of the potential new best friends.
I have very high standards, just because my mom’s dogs, Daisy and Paige,
are so perfect.
So we went to see Sienna and she was very sweet and laid
back, but was also shredding every toy in sight which was worrisome (can’t have
a dog that chew shoes!!!). So I talked
with my mom and Kyle about it, then went to dinner with HRH STG DVM and talked
about it more. I was still pretty
undecided that night, but I woke up at like 5AM the next morning in that crazy
half-awake, half-asleep state and did some rational thinking. My dream dog is a French Bulldog – if I were
to not get a rescue, and get a Frenchie puppy – that would be a LOT of
work! My hesitations with getting Sienna
were that I would have to work to train her to behave like a mannerly dog. So, even though I was really nervous about my
first dog, I bit the bullet and picked her up a little over a week ago!
She’s been settling into her new home very well! She quietly sleeps in her crate, and she
loves our baby couch I bought several years ago. She has some learning to do on the leash,
because everything is super exciting and overwhelming! My mom and I took her to Lake Johnson on
Wednesday, and it was an interesting experience, but we went again with
STG and Birdie this past weekend. I’m sad
because she has to start heartworm treatment next week, so she has to be
“quiet” for two months or so which will put a damper on our fun L Oh well! That gives me more opportunities to train her
and have her put on a little weight because she is s-k-i-n-n-y! Everyone who
has met her loves her, and she loves them!
