Settling In to new digs...

Octavia (we're calling her Tavi for short) is settling in just fine in her new foster home. She arrived Tuesday afternoon and we loved her immediately. She loves kissing on our pup Max and keeps barking at the cats, but they just ignore her. She wants so badly to play with them, but they just don't seem to care. 

She is happy to greet all our neighbors and their dogs, but gets a little shy if there's too much excitement around. To entertain herself she throws her new squeaky toy in the air and chases it or tries to catch it. Definitely an entertainer!

Thanks to her first foster, Ms. Suzy who saw her through her surgery and recovery, she is potty trained and sits when she is fed her breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has no problem going in her crate. She goes to the door or whines when she needs to go out. We LOVE Ms. Suzy for teaching her all her manners.  

Last night was bath time, and I think I got just as wet as she did! She is not a fan of the bath, but settled down once scrubbing and massage started. She had so much fun getting dried off that she decided to play with the towel a little more. 

We did carry on the tradition of her sleeping in the bed with us. I take her in with me about 11pm and when Chance gets home from work about 3am, she gets to go out for a potty break and comes right back to bed with us. She is a true snuggle bunny. She can in fact go the entire night with not having to go out, but she feels left out if Chance doesn't come get her. Oh, and she snores! 

We have a swimming lesson on Saturday morning at Old Towne Pet Resort, and lots of photos will be taken. Make sure you come back Saturday afternoon to see how she did on her first hydrotherapy session. We feel swimming will help her gain some more movement and strength in her little legs for a full, happy recovery!
