Why Was I Worried?


-Moon-set on Sunday morning~
Back to the airport on Friday afternoon to the "arrivals" and as quick as you can put a suitcase into the trunk of a car, I was no longer a single parent. Back at home, all the dogs were happy to see their missing pack member and tell him all that had gone wrong while he was away.  George is the worst at keeping a secret.
~The face of a dog that can't keep a secret~
Of course it was no secret that there is our newest addition, Dusty.
He's had a hard time settling in, mostly because I was keeping him away from the other dogs, and it wasn't where he wanted to be.  But given Dusty's stress level, I just thought that I needed someone else to help with those introductions.  I was wrong.  I think they'd all looked at one another so long through the fence that meeting him up close and personal was no longer exciting.  I simply opened the gate, and with barely a second look, it was business as usual.
Why was I worried?

  1. Awww, I am so happy there was nothing to worry about with the newest addition. Dusty may be happier now that he has been accepted and is part of your pack. Cute doggie and photos! Happy Sunday, enjoy your new week!

  3. Sometimes the things we worry about the most - never happen. Then again sometimes, we don't think about a problem and get surprised. Life is funny that way ...
    Glad Carl is home!

  7. So glad that all is well, and things are back to normal. Dusty is gorgeous (but aren't all your dogs !) and will soon settle down. Agree with Kismet - Todd will soon have Dusty trained to the ways of Golden Pines.
    Oh dear, we hope George didn't get you into any trouble Kim, he looks most disapproving - whatever can be wrong?

  10. Being without a dog of my own for the last 24 years, I love to visit your blog and see all those dogs and their interaction. Almost like having a dog myself.

  22. Maybe it was all that smelling and seeing each other from a distance that helped things go so smoothly! Better safe than sorry!

  23. I think it's great that you were cautious. It might be that the meeting was so easy because you'd given them time to get used to each other. I'm so glad that Dusty is fitting in!

  24. Glad everyone is getting along. Georgie cracks me up with his enthusiasm. Does he at least wag his tail? Has Charlie noticed that a couple of his kitties are missing?

  25. Welcome Dusty, you lucky dog. I can never get over the "disposable dog" attitude some narcissistic people have. So happy he found GP. Hope all is well.
