Carl (Five Dog Dad ) is home for Thanksgiving (actually he will soon be HOME because he has been laid off - but he does have to go back and move his things home) and met Pippi for the first time last night or should I say early this morning since we didn't get home from the airport until 1 am. She totatlly freaked out - she is afraid of all people because they kept her chained to a doghouse outside all the time and hardly paid any attention to her at all. But this morning she started to warm up to him.
