“We are figuring things out. We’ve renamed her Sweet Pea. She is a sweet as can be.
She barking at our reflections in the doors and the oven…I’m thinking she lived outside. So we are working on that.
She loves her walks, rides in car to visit a friend and her dog for Sunday afternoon walks. She’s eating great. Learning about treats. Learning about the cats.
Took to my vet for a check up. Will take her back in July to recheck heartworms.
So it’s all good! She’s a good girl!”
