New Canine Companion

We adopted a new dog on Friday, 2/16/24. It was time. Grace (now Tilly) has some health challenges and  was transferred from Gallup, NM to High Country Humane in Flagstaff. She's quite a cutie, and can't stop wagging her tail (see photo) and licking us. An Australian shepherd mix, she was only 27 lbs when High Country did their intake 3 weeks ago & today is 41lbs. We're feeding her 3/day and now able to cut back to a reasonable amount of food. So far, we haven't found anything she will not eat.

She was food deprived (probably on the streets for a while) and likes to eat fast & run away. To slow down her eating, and instead of buying a fancy slow-eat bowl, I put a big river rock in the middle.  Works like a charm😂

 

 

 UPDATE: 2/20/24. She is sleeping well, walking better on a leash (several times a day), and bonding with us quickly.  She's laying outside my office door on the cool tile, waiting for me to stop writing. 😁 (she'll learn it may be a while).
