Chloe
This is Chloe, our new beagle girl. We are both exhausted having driven 11 hrs (including brief stops) on Friday and Monday, combined with the stress of staying at someone else's house (I'm much more comfortable at home). She was very good in the car though, and slept most of the way on her cushion in the crate.
We got home last night on the 6.40 pm Waterbus - she shook a little on the trip, but was starting to relax by the time we reached the island. Simon doesn't understand how Swampy could have changed so much in one night. He is behaving as though she were Swampy, and Chloe is doing her own thing. She slept part of the night on the bed and part in a dog bed, and had a growl this morning when she obviously thought to herself "how did I get to this strange place?"
For a rescue beagle she is very good so far, so I am waiting to see if there is a skeleton in her closet - as long as it isn't the ability to scale a 5 ft fence, the ability and desire to dig under it, or excessive howling and separation anxiety, I will consider myself very lucky. She is a pretty girl and very soft, she loves to play and likes squeeky toys.
We are having a very quiet day today. I'm doing the washing, a token amount of housework, and seriously considering an afternoon nap.
Simon is sitting back and watching to see what happens next. I've had a message from Shane - he and Swampy are out and about today, so that's good for her to get some stimulation. Hopefully all will be well...
Hey, welcome home. :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new pooch.
CHloe looks like a very cute little dog. We are going to be dog hunting next year too because our dog, Simba, is going back to live with our grandchildren who own him. We are thinking of a rescue dog from the shelter too. We need one to protect our garden from the deer.
ReplyDeleteChloe is adorable...I think beagles are the perfect dog!
ReplyDeleteAww she looks lovely. I hope it all works out well. My parents last beagle was 2 when they got her and it took a while to find out that she didn't like male children. Luckily at the time there weren't many of those about. She had some other strange habits, like eating lawngrubs, but on the whole she was a good dog. I think Chloe looks an absolute honey.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet looking dog! She's so lucky to have you as a owner who will love her.
ReplyDeleteChloe looks very sweet. I hope she continues to adjust well.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Chloe - I bet she's going to fit right in *s*
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Chloe! She looks like a sweety. I hope she is lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteChloe looks like a sweetheart! I'm sure she'll fit in nicely.
ReplyDeleteOh, she is just sooooooo cute! Those eyes! I bet you just melt when she looks at you like that.
ReplyDeleteChloe is just gorgeous! I am sure she is going to be very happy in her new home.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Chloe. Hope everyone bonds together to create a happy family unit. I wonder how much rescue dogs understand about what is happening :)
ReplyDeleteShe looks like such a lovely little dog. Such a nice face. Congratulations on your new little girl :))
ReplyDeleteWhat a long way to go, but worth it!
ReplyDeleteChloe looks like such a sweetie, I hope she settles in with you quickly.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Chloe! How are she and Simon getting along?

Jenni, she's adorable. Bringing home and getting to know a new furry friend is always an exciting time. DD#2 and I will be traveling in a month or so to pick up her new Egyptian Mau kitten. Hope Simon and Chloe will become fast friends.
ReplyDeleteOur Chloe is a rescue dog too! And we love her to death. But our Chloe looks very different from your chloe! I hope you all are getting along just fine!
ReplyDeleteLovely pooch
