This pup’s a stitch!

The new foster arrived last night.  She doesn’t answer to much of anything other than ‘New Dog’, so we’re trying to convince her her name is Valentine.  She doesn’t seem to recognize or care much about her racing name. 

She JUST turned two so she’s very much a puppy.  She mouths everything, so we keep alternatives like rope toys and nylabones handy.  And while she is cat-safe, she thinks the cats are fun to chase.  She’s also a counter cruiser: she doesn’t jump completely onto the counters, but she does get her front paws and nose up there, snuffling along and checking everything out.

Valentine is intent on learning all there is to know about a house.  When she got too quiet, we searched for her finding no dog, only the cats pondering a bedroom door.  Taking the not-so-subtle hint, we glanced in to find a relieved Valentine snuffling around the door, trying to get out.  When the door opened, she happily bolted out and down the hall after the cats. 

Probably not the thanks the cats were looking for.
