Kiki

Kiki is now a member of the Donovan clan. John and I picked her up last night from the people who will not be able to keep her. Damn, that was hard! Tears and sniffles and a reluctant dog.

Kiki is pretty afraid of John. Makes me wonder if at some point in her life some man was unkind to her. She'll come around. She is very sweet, and Shadow is in love with her (all his black lab manliness really perked up around the pretty lab/bloodhound mix).Houdini is fine with her, too.

I was a little worried about how Kiki would react to the cats, since she has never been around them. Fortunately, she seems to think that the cats are funny looking dogs, and she is not at all bothered by them.

She has been clinging to me since we brought her home. She slept on our bed, next to me, all night long. I think she is sad and misses her family, she won't eat anything so far, not even dog biscuits or a crust of pizza!

I'm glad I'll be home for the next 10 days, hopefully, Kiki will get more comfortable and happy.

I have not yet taken a picture of her. I want to try to get one of Kiki and Shadow and Houdini all together. But first, I have to work.
