1 week

Clarina has been with us for over a week now and she is settling in really well.  In the morning we get lots of happy greetings, it's great she is glad to see us.  She continues to be a great dog.  She is housebroken and crate trained.  She loves to go for walks and gets really excited when she sees her leash come off the rack.  We learned she HATES thunderstorms and becomes very stressed.  We put her on leash during the storm and kept her by us to prevent her from pacing and becoming increasingly more stressed and that seemed to help.  She loves to play with our puppy and I think they have become great friends.  Two days ago we finally taught her to sit on command, we are so proud of her.  next we are working on "down."  She is getting better about coming when called.  She got out our front door yesterday and she took off.  Luckily I saw her and was able to go after her, she didn't get very far and I was pleasantly surprised that she came to me running when I called her.

Here are some resent pictures of her cuddling on the couch.
