Very slowly getting to know our Romanian rescue dog Sophie who arrived in the middle of the night and is very scared. She has decided behind the sofa is her safe place
@RoryCJ Well done for taking her in, Rory. Hope you have a happy Christmas together!
@RoryCJ If she's sitting behind the sofa Sophie must be a Whovian! Sensible girl, though, as that space is also right next to the radiator!
@RoryCJ aw, look at her face πŸ’™ Give her a skritch from me, just as soon as she feels brave enough to come out from behind the sofa.
@RoryCJ what a beautiful pup. Before long she’ll be ruling the roost. Time. Patience. Love.
@RoryCJ Bless her. Best to leave her come out in her own good time when she smells the sausages cooking πŸ˜‰πŸ˜Š
@RoryCJ my dog also loves to sleep behind the sofa.
@RoryCJ the poor love, I hope she starts to feel safe with you soon. So kind of you to give her a home.
@RoryCJ this is our wee Romanian rescue Micha she was the same at first x
@RoryCJ She's a beaut! I heard that dogs that were adopted from another culture respond really well to commands in their first language. Do you know any Romanian words?
@RoryCJ she's so pretty. Hope she realizes the whole home is a safe space soon ❀️
@RoryCJ Aww it must be all quite overwhelming. Nice that they’ve found a wee safe quiet place to hang out initially. Good luck with the settling in. Gorgeous wee dog!
@RoryCJ you're doing a great job.
@RoryCJ She is beautiful. I wish you and her luck. You seem very patient and exactly the kind of owner she needs.
@RoryCJ Happy to see you here! My wife asked if I was following Sophie, but I don't do Twitter. It never felt very safe to me. Please post more if you can. πŸ•
@RoryCJ very relatable, everyone likes a secret hide! 😍
@RoryCJ Rory please put alt text on images so we can reblog them for peops who need greater #a11y. Also put a lovely #DogsOfMastodon for Sophie so doggie fans can find this beautiful girl πŸ™‚
@RoryCJ
I can't get over how similar #sophiefromromania is to our previous rescue dog Treacle. So named, by Mrs FH because she was sweet and all the colours of the various treacles. Same size, colouring, and large ears. She was a gentle soul and much missed.
Our next rescue was Carla, a Whippet X, she was as frightened and nervous as Sophie, and spent the first 6 weeks hiding under a bush. It took a long time before she finally felt at home, but we got there in the end. Another gentle soul.
@RoryCJ Mya and Kai (also rescues) say hi. #DogsOfMastodon
@jonh64 @RoryCJ I just wanna give some gentle head scratches to the puppers
@RoryCJ been following your tweets (on the other site) been so incrediably awesome and heart warming. I log in every day to see how she is getting on. Thank you for bringing that joy.
@RoryCJ so glad to find you here! I follow you with my dog account @AdamSolomonLove at the bird site where I locked down my personal account. I am enamored with Sophie and the miraculous progress she is making daily. Love how you all love her and dote on her. The world needs you.
@RoryCJ How's she doing now?
