Well its been 2wks since we adopted Dory the lil love nugget and she is doing just great! She is gradually getting house trained (75% there) sleeps through the night in her crate and hasn't destroyed anything in the house yet, other than my poor hands she prefers as chew toys and well also Jake's neck, tail and ears have taken a beating from her little razors:)

 

Jake and Dory have totally bonded and I think Dory really fills the niche that was missing for Jake's desire to be a 'mommy.' He is very protective of Dory and plays nicely with her. Occasionally Jake roughs her up with tug o war but he usually lets her win. Dory listens to No and Come. She is learning to sit and takes cues from Jake when it is time to retreat back to the house whenever he senses danger; she hauls her little butt back up to deck and waits for her big brother to patrol the yard perimeter. 

They are adorable together. They eat, nap, play, and poop together like peas and carrots. She copies everything he does, and even sleeps on top of him. 

The only one who is crying occasionally is Jake when he hears her playing in her crate in the early morning hours while he is in our room supposed to be sleeping. He can't stand that she is alone out in another room. 

She is going to see the Vet tomorrow for her next set of shots etc. I suspect they will be very impressed with her progress.

Like with Jake, I could not have asked for a better rescue pup and experience than what we got with Richardson Rescue. Thank you again for all you guys do and bringing us another wonderful family member!
