Megan joined us on Wednesday May 27, after a Rescue Ride with Deb and Jackie.  After a bit of a struggle getting her into our car, (she’s a bit voluptuous, as Jackie says) we arrived home and she met our resident dogs Sophie and Cassie (a Brookline Alum).   Megan was understandably very nervous, but greeted us all sweetly before settling.

She was a bit reluctant to eat that first night, but did manage a small meal, hand fed.  Megan pretty much ignored the cats, just looking at them, but no real interest in interacting.  She did well overnight – no accidents, and did some musical beds with the other dogs, who treated her like one of the pack right away.

Getting her to do her business has been a challenge.  She will not potty in the yard though she can see the other 2 dogs pottying there.  We eventually discovered that she will only do her toileting in the small patch of woods next to our house.  (I have been spraying the Poison Ivy rather desperately since she chose that area, lol.)  She is learning to ask when she has to go, which is a big deal for her because she is very shy, though she is getting more brave every day, even starting to wander around the house on her own today.Megan loves to snuggle, and asks for pets whenever anyone comes near her.  She is a sweet and loving girl, and we look forward to helping her find herself.
