Molly - Aussie Shepard - ADOPTED 7/31/23

  Has it been 4 weeks already!!! Where does the time go! So summer has been busy. Molly has really grown to know she can feel at home. She's learned that all couches and pillows and beds are super comfortable. But she does prefer to sleep in our own area and does not jump on the bed ..... yet.  She has definitely bonded with myself, my daughter and our other pup. SO....this resource guarding I saw all over her profile....we've figured it out.  She has been perfect with my smaller dog and child. She will meet another dog soon so we'll see if it's really selective or just how the meeting goes. She absolutely will tolerate play and nuisance, but she knows her limit and will correct, but that's it, a quick growl.  NOW....her bond. YES she DOES choose to strongly bond with one person. My boyfriend has been the outed stranger. And she will bark when he comes in the same room, or comes in he house after work, or even walking toward the couch if my daughter and I are sittin...

  Well, it's been a few days and everything is expected. She's sweet, she's shy but starting to warm up.  She's started to follow me until she realized I saw her. Then I started getting nudges (so adorable).  She is great with our male Sheltie and hasn't shown any bit of being annoyed with my daughter.  But we may have found her quirk. In couple days time she picked her human, me. 😍 ... now what?  So as my boyfriend walks up or walks near, she started barking. But never when my daughter or my dog walked by. Although I started off having her on the floor whenever my dog would come up, until she figured out the couch was more comfortable. And we begin. We correct when she does it and she it's only a couple barks, nothing more. I tell her it's okay, and he continue to sit next to me.  We will continue to expose her to multiple humans to let her know we're all in her pack. To be continued...
