We've just had a break-through today so your email comes at a perfect time. Noel actually walked right in, without hesitation, into the back seat of the car!! Yeah!! Needless to say, she got all the treats at once I had in my pocket. We've gone for four rides and she's discovered that she can sit up on the back seat and look out the window which she's enjoyed since the first ride (after coming home that is).
Other than one accident the following morning after we got her, she's completely housebroken. Not sure yet what her "cue" is for going out since I take her out very often.
I'm hoping she's picked up a couple pounds since she's been here as she's quite thin.
She brings us "presents" all the time - shoes, boots, gloves, hats, loaves of bread, etc. She's only recently chewed things (two items) so anything good has been removed from the basket that she sorts through for entertainment.
I had her up to the Fts where I volunteer Wed afternoons and she was a big hit and behaved beautifully. Her name is now Shelley and she's taken to it very easily so I think it must sound a little like her old name (?) I've not walked her without a leash yet and she doesn't know to stay in the car until given the okay but that won't take long.
I'm delighted with her. As quiet as she generally is, she has a very, very loud, huge, deep bark when she wants to!
Thanks to all of you for caring for her and believing that she's the great pet that she is!
