28 Feb 2017 Expansion of our pack

Almost two weeks ago we became acquainted with Chessie (Chester) and Debbie at https://www.dierenbescherming.nl/…/dierenopvangcentrum-t-no… . We are madly in love.

Chessie needed to have dental renovation first and after that we picked up our ladies.

This was a week and a half ago:

So this afternoon we picked up our girls. In the beginning they trembled in the car as expected, but as the ride progressed this became less and less. Once we got home we first put them on their new HUP in the back yard. (For possible toilet training, bad weather moments and when they grow old and can not walk that far anymore.) It was wet from the rain and the rest of the garden was much more interesting. Chessie is wagging her tail the whole time. Debbie’s tail also went up immediately. They inaugurated the whole garden with big and small ‘needs’ except their new private HUP ?. When the kitchen door opened they rushed inside, Debbie’s tail went back between her paws but after 2 rounds around the kitchen table, she was wagging her tail again. The water bowl was quickly found and the living room also received a thorough sniff inspection of both. At Dierenopvang t Noordbroek (Animal shelter) we bought an extra set of feeders, there were also a number of tasty chew bones in the package. Debbie took a bone first and gave Chessie a warning grunt when she wanted the bone. Then Chessie took pleasure in another bone. Looking out and crawling behind the curtains is also fun.
We already have a lot of fun and it seems that Chessie and Debbie are already completely at home.
