Week of Callie

It has almost been a week with our new family member, Callie. All honesty it has not been perfect, but seems to be working out now. Chester has had a hard time adjusting to her and making sure she knows he is the dominant one. She is also quite energetic and Chester wants to play but not sure how to go about it. They have been working through this though.

We honestly could not have asked for a better rescue dog though; she is sweet, non-aggressive, absolutely amazing with the kids, house trained, doesn't chew on stuff and generally just a happy girl. Like I said though, she's quite energetic and majority of the day runs around the yard looking at the sky and then takes quick breaks for water and a short rest. But that seems to be slowing down a little today which is good. I have to include that she is still enthralled by the fish tanks and can watch them for an hour. And she is not that interested in the water but while we are at the creek during our walk she does get her feet in so that she can chase and stomp on floating leaves. I am impressed how great she is with the kids; she loves hugs, kisses, pets and playing chase with them. Callie is super sweet and slowly winning over Chester too. She's going to make a good addition to our family and Owen and Aiden love her so much.
