New puppy new life new Thread.
Both Cookie and I had a big day today. Me getting the house, supplies, space ready and really very anxious about new responsibilities of being a puppy mum. Cookie with travel strange place and being left here by her family.
We had cuddles for a while till she was less anxious her heart was racing. Then I encouraged her to explore a bit with some treats. She is now having a doze in her crate next to me and all seems right with the world. I think I could nearly doze too.
The constant hyper alert status my body has been in seems to have mellowed. I didn't know how bad it had gotten till it went.
I'm sure things will keep going up and down but I haven't felt calm in a very long time.
