jjmaccrimmonWe picked our newest member of the family up last night. Chris and I went to Newhall to pick her up from the vet following being spayed. She was wobbly but up and a bit skittish but she maintined a wonderfully gentle and sweet disposition. We discovered that they'd named her "Kaia." The more I've thought about it and it seems appropriate. After beig around her I believe her to be a Shepherd / Black Lab mix, but please let me know if you think differently.
After getting her home last night, I walked her around the house on a leash and let her sniff a bit. We could tell that she'd not been on a leash before but she didn't fight it. I spread out a trap on the floor and took one of our old paprisan chair cushions for a bed. Then gave her a chew toy. I swear that she smiled. Without further delay, these are some rough snap shots I grabbed of her this morning (the flash didn't startle her either).
Kaia
She's thus far really taken to us as a family. She's even rolled over to let us rub her stomach which surprised me so soon after coming out of a bad situation. Exposing the belly is a trust sign.
