A month in da house

So it's been just over a month since Elsie came to stay with us.

She's settling in pretty well and seems to get along well with Fred. She's definately not as laid back as him, but she's very sweet.

Here's her pound picture: 

And a pic I took of her on the first few days of her arrival:

I've realised I didn't take many that gave you a proper idea of her shape and size. I remember being able to feel all her rib cage bones distinctly, not that you could tell from her fur:

And this is how she is a month later, with two meals a day, a bone once a week when she gets lucky, and a chance to play with a big friendly boofer:

You wouldn't know to look at her, but she's definately put on some weight. When she turned up with us she was 27kg and felt light as a feather compared to Fred. You could lift her up easily, yank her around if she got too boisterous or in your face. These days you need to put a little more strength into that push and she tends to give you a dead leg if you let her lie on you for too long.

And with her bone:

Here's the boofer:

And later, playing tug:

I didn't realise until I cropped this pic that you can see Elsie in the top left hand corner!

Here they are trotting home:

Elsie caught mid-shake, or maybe being possessed by something:

What was that? You can't see what you're looking at? Here, look again..

Freaky huh?

And then later, just chilling out. Awww...
