Shane here, Megan’s adoptive daddy.

She’s settled in well now, coming to the end of her 2nd week. Her arrival initially didn’t go too smoothly, as in the first two days she attacked our other dog Sky, a 10 month old german shepherd, a couple of times, requiring a visit to the to the vet and a strong course of antibiotics for a quite nasty bite wound on Sky’s nose.

We were quite nervous at first, watching the two of them like hawks after that, and felt pretty bad . After a couple of days and Megan seemed to relax.
Now the two of them seem to be getting on great, playing together in the garden and sleeping curled up beside each other. Megan’s a total dote, following you around the whole time any time you get up or leave a room. As soon as you look at her she’ll have flopped down and rolled over, legs in the air. And once she’s decided she’s staying sitting or lying down, its nearly impossible to move her, she’s like a big hairy sack of potatos. The other night I was doing some basic "sit" training with her. I got her to sit and gave her a treat, then I backed away a little bit to encourage her to get up and come towards me so I could tell her to sit again. Instead of walking over to me, she stayed sitting with her bum on the floor and dragged herself towards me with her two front legs – it was hilarious!

The only unfortunate thing about Megan now is that boy does she like to dig! Our back garden looks like a network of World War One trenches now! Have to try and get her out of that…

Anyway, here’s a couple of pictures of her. Hope these display correctly…
