She's here!

Yesterday morning we drove to South London, where Skye's breeder Lian lives. It is only about 20 miles from where we live in North London, but as the city lies in the middle, it takes quite a while to get there. London's streets never seem to get quiet.

We had a lovely afternoon at Lian's. And after a delicious bbq meal (!!), it was time to take Skye home with us. Our trip back went very well. Skye just went to sleep in her bed and was very calm. When we arrived home, we first locked both our cats in the kitchen with a nice bowl of food, so Skye could check out our living room and the puppypen with all her things. She immediately weed on the newspaper we laid down for her there. She is such a clever girl. However, she also thought Joost's mountainbike magazine would make a good toilet. Oops. We had a good laugh about that.

Later, we let the cats out of the kitchen, one by one. They were not too enthusiastic about Skye. And Skye wasn't too keen at first either. She softly barked and growled a bit at the cats. But I think that was just insecurity, she hadn't really met a cat before. When she sat on our laps and looked at them, she was all right. One of the cats hasn't come into the living room yet, the other one is more curious. It will take a while, but I think they will get used to each other soon.

The first night went very well too. Skye immediately settled in her bed in the crate. She fell straight asleep and was really quiet. At about four o'clock she woke me up and I took her to the newspapers. She did a little wee and went straight to sleep again after we went back to the bedroom. This morning she woke up at a quarter to seven!! We are so proud of her.
