Yesterday I gave Lucy a bath for the first time. She wasn't thrilled with the idea, but I prefer the scent of coconut to poultry. Her efforts rolling in the chicken poop getting perfectly perfumed were for not. She laid in the shower & tolerated my primping like a rag-doll. Toweling off was welcomed, especially when I got to her ears. Her "shake" attempt fell a short in efficiency. Her ears did a few flops & her body did a little shimmy. Again, I'm new to the hound world. A Lab or GSP would have sprayed water every wear, even Missy manages some good sprinkler action.
Lucy is never had to find in the house. She wants to be generally near us. She'll come up for a nuzzle or belly rub them find a comfy spot, keep any eye on us until her lids get heavy & she drifts off. (she prefers rugs to pillows) Most of her actions are methodical & in slow motion.... unless there is a treat involved. The "cookie jar" is keep on a high shelf bookcase. Her stubby little legs tried to climb the shelves. As simple serious "Ahh, Ahh!" let her know that was a No-No. She found a rug & dismissed the idea without protest.
Today a new foster dog "Jasmine" will be joining our pack. She is an owner surrender to a local shelter. Yesterday Jasmine was spayed & had a fox tail removed from her ear. She'll be recovering with us until an applicant can be selected for her adoption. She's very popular & has had multiple families interested. My fingers are crossed that Lucy gets along with her as she has with our Missy.
