There are two things that are really significant about today. One, it is the shortest day of the year which to me signals the turnaround of dark to light - every day for the next six months will get lighter and brighter. It is also the first full day of my new dog Freedom coming to live with us in the tiny trailer!
Both Freedom and I are still in the getting to know each other stage. He's watching me and I am watching him. So far from my point of view things are going well! His point of view though has been a bit stationary - he has yet to get off the bed unless I insist…. I've even had to bring his food and water to him - not something that will continue to continue!
We went for our first morning walk today - it was foggy, cold, and wet….welcome to your new life! He did not lift his leg to relieve himself one time…this is a boy dog - what is up or rather not up with that?
So far we've had no barking, no chasing the cat (he just sniffs and licks her), or even desire to explore beyond the bed in the tiny trailer. I've got everything shoved to the opposite side to make more room for him, but still no movement.
I didn't sleep much last night listening and watching what he would do. He did very little, I got very little sleep just in case he did do something I needed to stop. The rescue said he's known for peeing, vomiting, and stressing - none of that so far! Tonight should go much better for me I think!
I'll share more in the video, but just wanted to post about today and how happy I am the light is returning - both outside and inside the tiny trailer!!!
