Warming up to the city

In her first week with us Hanna has certainly proven to be a love bug. She likes to sit in our son's lap and cuddle up with our daughter (us too!). She goes out to do her business and comes right back in - not a lot of stopping to play as she is still unsure of all the road noise out there. Every now and then, though, Tucker will run out back to bark at a squirrel and Hanna forgets her worries and follows him to see whats up. She is not very vocal but definitely interested in seeing what the fuss is about. I can see when she runs up and down the deck stairs that this girl is quite an athlete - when she jumps it looks effortless.
Our big Tucker is possibly a bit rowdy for her yet which may be part of what's keeping her in her shell a little bit. The two of them do love each other though - Tucker thinks she makes a great pillow and she doesn't mind it one bit. In the morning she gives him little love nibbles in his scruff which he mistakes for wanting to play. In reality, this little girl could sleep for a few more hours, and she usually does, once we've stopped making noise around her.

Hanna's big trip...

A few days ago Hanna moved to our house in the big city. She was definitely not sure what to think of all the people walking on the streets or the giant bus which was noisy AND full of people. She did a lot of moving around looking out car windows but didn't bark or cry. She is doing great in the house but hasn't ventured out back much - I think she's wondering what happened to her big grassy back yard. :)

Her new furry foster brother Tucker is dying for her to come out and play; he stands by the door squeaking a toy just daring her to take another step. She ventures to the end of the deck and out to the yard only if one of her foster people come out with her, and even then she sticks to us instead of running with Tucker - but she's definitely thinking about it! She likes to sleep with Tucker at night and is very good in her kennel while were gone. She is also very good with her foster brother and sister, who are 12 and 13. We're being patient and letting her settle in - she is such a good girl!
