ShadowTails * Her History with Democratic Underground * Chapter 6 * New home, new farm.

We thought playing Jolly Ball with Shadow might help her acclimate to her new home.
It did.



Shadow saw a Robin one day and chased it. Never even got close.

We bought Shadow a real honest-to-goodness dog bed. She loves it.


Turned out, though, she liked our bed as well. And still does.


She adapted the porch ramp for sunbathing.

Her large yard gave good rolling-around ground.

She found a fellow who likes to give belly rubs.

One day we took a short walk in the woods.


On our way home Shadow met her neighbor dog Freya.


A delivery driver brought us a package and bonded with Shadow.
Right away Shadow took a cookie.

And then skritches.


From then on Shadow's been glad to take deliveries.

In her new home Shadow was (and is) a happy girl.

And every once in a while she gets a Good Girl Bone.

Shadow watched a sunset with me recently.

Thank You for dropping by. See you next Friday.

Ah, the life of Shadow told in pictures. Great story this week, George McGovern. Shadow has settled in very nicely and made herself right at home. She makes friends with everybody. Although I like all the photos, I think Happy Shadow is my favorite. Thanks for posting.
