It’s now been five days since Naida moved in with us.
While not everything has been sunshine and rainbows, I was still surprised about how well everything went and how well she adapted to the new environment within a few days.
Some personal highlights:
In the beginning, she was afraid of entering our house and especially the elevator. We often just had to pick her up and hold her until we reached our floor. But now, she happily enters the elevator when the doors open, even before we go in.
She loves our couch and her dog bed in our bedroom (see evidence above). It fascinates me quite a bit how after so little time she already knows her way around the apartment and what spots are for just hanging around and relaxing.
Her big stretches are so cute, now I know why that yoga pose is called downward dog.
Whenever I’m at my laptop for a prolonged period and she is in another room, she usually checks in every now and then and requests to be petted. This always makes me happy.
She listens to her name very well and the “come” command also starts to work, at least in a low-distraction environment.
Still lots to do and my girlfriend and I both are always so tired in the evening, but having Naida around us makes up for it :)
