Miss Tallulah

Well since adopting Tallulah a few weeks ago, we have surely learned what we have been missing out on by not having a youngster in the house again. She is so full of life, so curious (sometimes overly) and so hilarious (free entertainment for sure!). Our older dog, Casey, a papillon, is a rescue from a hoarding situation and has a lot of issues, some of which he is seeming to overcome with the addition of such a social butterfly like Tallulah. Since she loves people and is so interested in checking everything out (I mean everything!) Casey has become less shy about being approached by strangers when we are out and about, and although they are not yet bosom buddies (he gets irritated when she pounces on him or steals his chewies, and she at him when he cuddles down on her bed) they will look for one another when separated for too long, and they play chase in the back yard. That someone could have given her up after having her a year is something we can't understand, but then w
e would never have been so lucky and gotten to adopt her if they hadn't. She is working hard on learning manners (like not jumping sky high so someone will pay attention to her, and not barking at every noise outside, which is really really hard when it's so nice out and all the windows are open and the sound of a squirrel running through the fallen leaves is soooo tempting!) and finding ways to push Casey's buttons (and ours!). She loves car rides, people on motorcycles and bicycles are worthy of a good growl or bark, especially if they are in the next lane at a stoplight, and everything and anything must be chewed, or at minimum, tasted. If it's on the floor or the ground, it's fair game to Tallulah. Thank you SDR, we are grateful that we found you and that you found us worthy of being her forever home.
