We went and picked up Rupert's new sister Jemma this morning. Jemma sat on my lap and was quite happy to see me. I visited with the breeder while Rupe, Jemma and another of her young dogs tore around the yard having a lovely time.
I kept her in a kennel in the car on the way home so she and Rupe would be calm and she was fine - he fell alseep and she was too wound up to settle. When we got home she had a look around the front of our building and was facinated by people going by and all the activity - she came from the country. She wouldn't climb the stairs when we came in so I carried her up the 3 flights. She came in and in the first 30 seconds met two of the cats - calmly with curiosity - no fuss, no chasing (yet
). She spent an hour just traipsing about with Rupe on her trail and then they finally both crashed. Some friends came up with their little grils and Jemma was all over them licking and very happy.
So far so good - Rupert has growled at her a couple of times - but he's very tired - we'll see how things progress- slowly but surely.
