Flying Symphony

For the next few weeks, Luna has a sister!  We are fostering a brood greyhound named Flying Symphony until she is adopted.  I was worried about how Luna would handle the transition from spoiled only child to  becoming the younger sister of an eight year old mother dog.  So far they have done very well together.  Luna is a little pushy because she knows how we do things around here and she doesn't want to wait for Symphony to figure it out.  She also showed off a little by playing with some toys, running up and down the stairs, and performing all her tricks for a treat.

Symphony was spayed just a few weeks ago and she had some teeth removed that were pretty disgusting.  For the next week she will need to stay calm and quiet which is harder for us because we want to take her out into the world and show her a good time.  Patience.  We tried having her wear the cone, but our apartment is kind of small so she kept getting stuck in places.  We now have her muzzle taped up so she won't lick her stitches.

Poor silly puppy.

Luna's not sure about having to share pillows.

You could tell that Symphony wasn't feeling too well yesterday because she went straight into the crate without being told to do so and just laid down.  She slept most of the day in the crate.  She did come out for a few minutes last night while we had company over.  Her tail never stopped wagging which is one of her best qualities.  She loves to wag her tail and hugs are her current favorite thing.

"I'll just hide in here."

Her tail was wagging so hard during this hug.

This morning, Symphony was finally feeling well enough to eat.  She had a delicious meal of softened kibbled while Luna practiced her sit stay.  Luna got a treat right after Symphony finished because she did so well.  Don't worry, Luna is getting way more treats than usual and plenty of pets and attention.
