Keira

12/28/10
We made it home without incident. Keira travels very well. We stopped three times on the way home and she got to get out and pee and sniff around some. While we had a crate in the car for her, we took herout shortly after we got on the road because she was so interested in the food in the car, it made more sense to take her out and put the food in!

We did have our hands full when her brothers came home. After being at the kennelf roa a night, they came in the house like a herd of Buffalo and scared the crap out of her. We had to put her in the crate because she kept snapping and barking at them. She was not a happy camper. We took them outside after a while, however, and after much sniffing and running around, things settled down. As I am typing this, Keira is on Brenda's lap and the boys are on the bed sleeping.

Just a quick update on Keira -

We call her Annie, and her real name is ANwen, which means "very beautiful" in Welsh. We took her stitches out a few days ago and her incision looks great. She has settled into the routine really well. We do crate her during the day as she is not house-trained, but is getting better. She loves playing with Riley, our Rhodesian mix and while she is curious about the cats, she has never done anything else but sniff them a little. Oscar, our Mastiff, basically ignores her. Sometimes they all three play tuf-of-war and that's a real hoot.

How is her brother doing?

Thanks again for a great dog!
