Patricia aka Maddy is doing great. She is getting along with our other hound mix, taking lots of naps and getting treated like a baby. Nothing too bad here. She’s just getting adjusted and has done pretty well.
She loves to snuggle in my daughters bed, so she loves tucking her in. She does pretty well on a leash during walks. She always has her nose up in the air catching Scents!
Overall, I think she’s doing fantastic. She is definitely stubborn, but has gotten her own little routine down. I figured she’ll learn “sit” one day lol. She is a wonderful addition to our family!
