We continue to enjoy having Birdie be part of our family. Rachel was the most hesitant to welcome her, but even now she is all about the dog. A few mornings she has even gotten out of bed, come out to the living room where Birdie sleeps on a pillow and laid down with her so she can pet her! All the kids like her and she is included in the ritual of giving hugs to everyone before heading off to bed. We have even gotten a feeding routine down that seems to work for everyone. If the pantry is left open, you can be sure to find Rachel and Cole getting treats out for Birdie.
Ironically one of my concerns before bringing her home was whether Birdie would transition well into being and "inside dog" . . . that has not been a problem at all. In fact if it is raining or she thinks it is too windy or cold, she doesn't want to go outside! She does enjoying playing outside, especially with us, and seems to love napping in the sun. If we are home inside though, she seems to prefer to stick close to us. She is a sweet dog! Thanks again, Gretchen!

Thank YOU! I'm so excited to hear another good report on her transition to your home and routine! I continue to check your blog on a regular basis to read up on all that's happening with Birdie and the family. Thank you so much for giving her the greatest home ever - she is a truly blessed puppy.

P.S. Know anybody who might be interested in a Beagle-Mix? I found and took in an abandoned puppy (approx. 1-year-old male) soon after Birdie moved home.
I will keep my ears open and ask around for anyone who might be interested.
