Tomorrow, Maisy is OUR DOG!!
January 14th, 2025
Maisy’s the one, coming home with us tomorrow! She was very sociable with us, while Boomer was afraid, hiding in a corner, pawing at the door to get out, wouldn’t come for treats or pets. Wanted nothing to do with us, though he was attached to the shelter worker.
Here he is, Boomer, the one who caught Alan’s attention, 3.5 year old male, over puppy stage. Here’s the link for Boomer:
We were on a bench in the cat room, and as soon as Alan crawled down in the middle of the floor, Boomer ran over to me for attention and I was able to hold him in my lap. He did that a couple times, and we tried again, experimenting, Alan moving from the bench to the floor, and he’d jump up. Seriously avoiding Alan. Maisy, on the other hand was an equal opportunity attention seeking grrrrrrrrrl. Loves balls, chew toys, and we have many, and she’ll love going to the tennis court to “play tennis.” We have some time to get the house ready, like dig out the cloth crate, put the dog food bucket back in the mudroom and DOH! get some dog food, sort out the dog toys (I did gather them and they’re washed), and lay out the many dog beds (she’s pretty much the same size as Sadie, our “medium” pup).
Some backstory — she is 6.5 years old (much prefer older dog) and she and Boomer lived together, though not really bonded, and lived with cats. Their owner needed to move to apartment and was upset to lose them. She’d been boarded at the shelter before and they went to our vet, so she’s a known quantity. They haven’t been at shelter long, were just posted yesterday, and they’ve lived with cats so we’ll see how she does with ours — this is major consideration (there’s a 21 day return clause).
