snapped by a curious mind

What now?

I promise not to fill the blip with photo of the dog, as I also promised not to overfill it with plant closeups - but 3 in the week I got her is kind of still reasonable.

She does look puzzled on this one, as if we had just done yet another thing totally out of her expectations.

Getting a dog as an adult means a lot of relearning and adjustments on the part of the dog. Sometimes she is thrilled to bits and sometimes she pauses, clearly puzzled that we are not like her previous human. Less treats, perhaps, but more fetch games, so it's all right. Although bringing the toy back to the thrower is not yet in her training, she seems to think that dropping it 3 meters away is good enough...

Like all dogs she doesnt like being alone, and seems she doesnt even like having just one of us around. Heck if she is going to have 2 humans then she wants them both around! But she's pretty good really, considering the stories we heard. She whines a bit then snuffles about the garden. She does seem to think that lying right in front of the door makes us come back faster, as she guards that door for quite long periods of time.

She is a jumper, it seems, so we'll have to explore that for fun at some point, I need to come up with some safe obstacles.

On another note we are cleaning and clearing the London house, and I am trying to do it fast so I can go to the blip meet tonight. So must not hang around on blip too long. There's still much to pack and no boxes, but compared to what Pippi's previous owner has to pack, move and clean, I feel lucky.
