She's here! (Dog saga=happy ending!)

[nancielle]

When I saw a photo of that orange dog I immediately thought "Raven?"

Yeah, that was my reaction too. When I saw the name I expected the picture to be that of a jet black dog. What a surprise.

Anyway, the alternate name that she's been responding to is Chloe. I tried a few others and got no response. When we were out on a walk this morning she responded each time to her new name so I think that's what it will be.

Chloe seems to be settling in. For some reason she won't come into the room where the computer is kept but she's chosen the doorway of that room as her bedroom .

No pictures yet (don't have a digital camera ) but home to remedy that soon.

My Chloe thinks that is an excellent name!

Yes, pictures please. Chloe is a great name. Spagdragen, that is so funny. I have a friend with a Corgie named Chloe.

I think you can see here on a thread titled "Bummed out but there may be a silver lining"

It's the same dog right?

cute.

Congrats! She'll need a bit to settle in, then I'm sure she'll be ready for some toys. When I first brought my shelter dog home, she slept so much for days. I think she was sleeping off the stress of being in the shelter. Can't wait to see more pics of your new friend when you get them.

congrats! Thank you for adopting from a shelter. We have two shelter cats and each one had it's own way of adapting to life outside of a cage. They are both doing well now and play all day long.
I love the name Chloe and apparently she does too. Good luck with your new best friend. Our two babies - Ito'san and Harley Quinn - say hello...

Congratulations on your new furkid! Rescues make the best pets in my opinion. Please post pics when you can.

I've had my eye on this guy for a while

His profile recommends a home with no cats but I'm so tempted.
I can't lie and say I don't have a cat.
He's been there a while....I may go pay him a visit tomorrow. I am going away for a ride next weekend but if he's still there when I get back....

Snapdragon - Corgi's are my second fav breed!

I trust that Chloe has found her nitch by now? German Shepherds take a bit of time to settle in, but once they have, they own you. They're typically one family dogs, so if this little sweetie has been moved around, she was probably a little upset.

Regarding your computer room, has she entered yet? If not, you might want to shut the computer off & see if that helps. The disks might be making a high pitched noise that we cannot hear. Dog's hearing is much better than ours and they especially hear high pitches that we cannot. That's one reason why most dogs respond better to women's high pitched "OH-AREN'T-YOU-JUST DARLING!" voices.
