Belle has joined our flock

I have pretty much ditched FB, so I'm just now learning that you have a new little Fluff. She's adorable - and if anyone can bring her around, then you can Sandie. If only they could talk and reveal what their problems are, and what frightens them so much. Poor little girl - I hope she will make a good transition and go on to live a long and happy and fearless life with you and her new sibs. It will take time, but with patience and understanding, I'm sure she will do it.

Welcome pretty little Belle. You've landed in the best possible home with the best possible Mom any doggie could hope for. You'll see - the fun has just begun!

Aww, welcome to the good life, Belle! It's okay, Sandie is a good momma, you can trust her, I promise!

Wow! You have your work cut out for you but I have confidence in your fluff abilities. What a pretty little dog she is--just precious. Little Belle doesn't know YET that she has ended up in a wonderful home. Good Luck!

Awww, Belle! I cried when I read about how afraid you have been. You won't have to be afraid any more, sweety. You are in the best Fluff home ever! Your new mum, Willy, Riley and Tasha will show you everything you need to know. I am glad you tried sleeping on the bed for awhile. Maybe later in the year you will be ready to go for fall walkies at the farm. If not, that's okay too. I will say big prayers and go light a candle right now. I am sending you a gentle (((HUG))) of welcome!

Your admiring fan,
Elyse

Thank you, all! Belle is already coming around, in terms of being less nervous with me. She ate all her lunch, which is nice. And we are now back home in RI -- and Belle has decided that she must return to the car. She did this last night as well, sat near the door to the car, so now I know she just needs time to get used to new places. Which I was told, yes, but still it is nice to see for myself.

I did take her for a short walk with the other 3, in the end. She started out by pulling and as she has a collar, gasping. By the end she was doing better. I will dig out the harness for her in a bit and that will make things easier on her till she learns to leash walk.

Aww----such a cutie but the first pictures show the uncertainty she is feeling. So sad that she's been tossed around like an old slipper. But I also am sure she's where she belongs, I just know you'll work through her issues, already she's eaten for you, tomorrow she will show more signs of settling in. She can sense the others are happy and content so it won't take her long to figure out she finally can relax and enjoy her new (permanent) home. Just a feeling I get that you will work things out with her...
