Picked up Pepper today - she was ok on the way home, sat on hubby's lap whilst I drove (was difficult for me to keep eyes on road but I did!) She yelped and whined a few times & seemed to want to look out of the window at what was outside.
We got home and introduced Pepper to one room, where her crate is and where she will sleep. She was nervous at first but she soon started wagging her tail, playing and had some water. She then did a little wee on the puppy pad - clever girl!
We have a 19 year old cat so decided to introduce them straight away and it went really well! Georgie the cat let Pepper know she was in charge & Pepper just backed off! They ended up both lounging on the floor (a safe distance apart!)
We had her crate door open and slowly but surely she made her way in there! She even had a nap in there before her tea. When she woke I let her smell her food and left out of the crate & she ate the lot! She then drank lots of water.
She sat at our feet whilst we ate our Chinese take-away and then sat with us in the lounge, curled at our feet and had a nap.
We've had 2 more wees on the puppy mat but no poo yet!!! We will pop her to bed around 11pm/12 and see what the night brings! At the moment she's having a mad half hour making us laugh so much!
She's a delight and seems to love it here in her forever home!
