Daily Diary about Paige, the foster dog from MT

Later on Tuesday:

The vet was fine. Paige did very well in the waiting room and basically took her cues from Sheba (who gets very board and lays down very quickly). Once we were in the exam room, Paige laid under the bench and had to be dragged out – too many new people. Once out again, she was fine.

As for the car… I had to lift her in but once in she was relatively calm. Not serene, but not panicked either. Both at the vet and at home she waited for me to take the lead before she jumped out on her own. Well done!

The weather is FANTASTIC and the dogs are loving it! This morning started out in the low 70s and little humidity and we were all rejoicing! Paige literally ran and bounced she was so happy! Right now it’s 1:15 and it’s still cool enough to leave the girls out. She wants to come in – just to be with us – but I still don’t want to leave Paige alone in the yard.

My goal today is to get their nails trimmed. Not a big deal for Sheba – but will likely be quite an ordeal for Paige. I’ll probably do it after dinner when she is usually quiet anyway.
