What a happy active dog she turned out to be. We expected she would come out of her shell over time. We did not expect that the process would only take a couple oh hours. She has been running around our yard like she had never rum before. She sleeps on her bed but we have to kick her off ours first. She loves! her ball. She is like a collie at chasing and catching the ball. But she also tosses it herself with a flick of her head. And she will bring the ball back.
It is clear she is a people person. She shadows us around the house.
She can also open her crate! We locked the crate this morning with cable clamps to keep the latch down and locked. She broke both clamps and met me at the door at noon. Nothing busted or chewed in the house though. She is snoring on the couch not watching tv!
So nice to see this. Sounds like the nervousness has gone and she will do brilliantly in her new home. Thank you for the update.
ReplyDeletethat is wonderful.. and a perfect example of not judging a dog merely by its behaviour in the shelter... (Blogger is NOT allowing me to post as "me" on any blogger blogs...) selkie
ReplyDeleteWonderful news! I'll bet the care her adopters showed her even beofore they took her home helped a lot. The shadowing sounds as if she fears they might vanish, like her late owner. I hope she gets over that, and can have faith again.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see beautiful Shera in her new home. What a smart girl! Sounds like a wonderful match.

That's great, looks like Shera knows that she has a new home and family and that made all the difference. Amazing how clever she is. All the best!
