She's beautiful Dobie!

Thanks IM!
She's smart. She's picking up quickly what is expected of her. I only had to put her back to her own bed 6 or 7 times before she understood that is where she is expected to sleep.
She's scared of the yard. She grew up in a subdivision so the woods behind my house are scary. Who'd have ever thought of that?
She also picked up with about 6 or 7 repetitions that she must wait to eat her food when I put it down, she can't just eat it because it's on the floor. She's going to be a great dog.

She's still a little nervous. I've never had a dog display displaced nursing behavior before so I just looked it up and lo and behold, the Doberman is a breed known for a strong propensity for this behavior.

That's so sweet & a little sad. Once she settles in I will be very curious to know when she does it. Will it be a normal, soothing bedtime thing or only when shes nervous? Please keep us posted.

My friend had a cat that would curl up & suck its tail to put himself to sleep. She said he had been weened too early, but it was THE CUTEST THING. He'd get up from a nap all casual like he hadn't been doing it, but the tip of his tail would be all wet.

Sounds like she's going to fit in well with your pack. Do your dogs typically go into the woods?

There's a guy that brings his pair to the dog park, not a breeding pair, and they have so much fun running and romping around with everyone. I often think of you when I see them.

I'm so happy for you and Bella both

Happy birthday, Cap!!

Thanks DL, it was a good day. But I got a bit of a sunburn! Can you imagine 70° in Virginia at the end of December? My skin is not used to it. I planted a big bush and a mum plant. Had to get a wagon of sand from down by the river. Thank goodness the Mule pulled it up the hill!

Thanks, Roomy. She's a real sweetheart. She was probably a looker in her day too. But her personality is even more beautiful. I think I got really lucky with her.

Girls are better than boys any day!
