Miss Cleo, Day 2

Things are going pretty well - I've been reading about how hard it can be to introduce a new dog into a house with an existing dog and how you should keep the new dog crated for a few weeks, etc. I think we got lucky yet again. Cooper is less freaked out (he's a very expressive dog and it's easy to tell) and he's starting to get curious. She noticed that and was trying to intice him to play. He just lay down. I think in a few days they'll be playing.

These photos were taken earlier this morning before that, and the last two moments ago as they rest from the stress of the morning.

She's not a jumper. We have to convince her to climb stairs and she will put her front paws up on the couch and then climb up with the back legs.

She's got different looks from different angles (great, another hard-to-photograph dog.) This is pretty representative:





From some angles she looks like a Cylon.
