Guess who K adores?

Both D'light and Catty!  Now these two are not sure what to make of all this attention from sweet K but, it seems they both know she's a girl who needs some leeway.  Catty has been very patient with K and D'light is a bit nervous but, still giving her a try.  
 
We see a marked difference in K wanting to interact with us with D'light and Catty are around.  She's softer in her looks and body movements and the dogs seem to help her forget that she's worried about us humans. 
 
Knowing this K will do better in a home where she has another dog to play and watch for cues about interacting with people.
  
 
Below you can see K trying to get D'light to play with her.  K is more careful with Catty, notice K watching Catty to see if she wants to play.
 
 
K trying again with Catty...  this is great as Catty usually takes a good 2 weeks to warm up to new foster dogs.  This is after K being with us for 2 day!

 
K and Catty chewing on bully sticks. 
K is not a resource guarder.  I was stunned that Catty was ok with all of this as she's know to guard bones.  In a situation like this there is always 100% supervision just in case Catty has some issue!



K says "D'light, I just love you..."

  2. Yes she's adjusting really well - I find that dogs move along at a more rapid pace when they are not forced or pushed. Giving them control to make choices is huge for them! Oh and K does love a fuzzy blanket.
