Thank you all for cheering Keira on as she settles into her new life with us.
One of my biggest worries with dogs like Keira is her escaping because she's skittish and she would be hard to find and catch. So when I don't see her with the other dogs, I feel an instant panic. Then I begin a bit of a frantic search everywhere. I know it's irrational, because my rational mind is reminding me that everything is secure, and there's no way she darted past out the door.
But the irrational voice in my head is louder and I am searching everywhere inside and out and calling her. Which I'll add that a raised voice scares her a little bit.
And then, I stop because I see her. Doing what I call "hiding in plain sight." This time it was behind the coffee table. In dim light, she can be hard to spot. But there she was, watching me and probably wondering "what is wrong with that lady?" Can you see her??
Hopefully she will be more comfortable as time goes by!
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a sweetheart! I hope she feels like she's at home soon.

ReplyDeleteKim, I can panic at the drop of a hat when I don't see one of our cats. And they're always right there. Keira really is darling.
ReplyDeleteKeira is such a sweet girl, with a hint of mischief in those big brown eyes.

Keira looks sweet, I hope she settles in and becomes part of the pack. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to this story. Millie was good at hiding in plain sight since she was mostly black. Most of the time she would be squeezed in between the sectional and the ottoman with her head down which is just a shadowy cavern without her there.
ReplyDelete*haha* That's exactly what Keira was probably thinking!! We silly humans! Much love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, how can you miss those deep brown eyes? ♥
ReplyDeleteKiera's coloring certainly lets her blend in with and behind that furniture, especially in shadows. Perhaps they make dog collars with a tiny not-too-bright light or bell? What a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Such a sweet face!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful face!
ReplyDeleteKeira must have been through a lot. With time she will know how much she is loved where she is now. And maybe then your panic attacks can lessen.
