Day 3 of Coco and me sizing up each other. Other than going outside every 3 hours or so to check on what’s going on, this is pretty much been her position the entire time. That’s OK though. It’s been pretty much my position, too. 😅

@j258853 she’s so sweet! I don’t know if you’ve adopted before but my experience is that it takes them a long time to to really settle in but 100% friend for life. Congrats now that she’s home!

@lawyersgunsnmoney Thanks, DB. Yeah, I’ve always adopted. We’ll see how it goes. So far, she’s great. Although, the foster care guy said she liked to chase balls and, so far, she’ll chase them some but she won’t bring them back! 🤪

@j258853 That’s wonderful. I’m sure she will continue to adapt quickly 👍

Awwww, Coco! 💜

I can't remember where I saw it, but there's a saying about giving the new pupper 3 days, 3 weeks and 3 months to realize they're home. I'm sure you've seen it before JJ.

@Lorraine I haven’t seen that but I know rehoming can take a while. Thanks, Lorraine.

Found it

3 Days to decompress and feel safe (often hiding or not eating), 3 Weeks to learn the routine and show their true personality, and 3 Months to build trust, feel secure, and fully integrate into the family.

@Lorraine Okay. Thank you.

Awww JJ, she’s a cutie! 💖
Now did she go up on the couch or did you put her there? 😉

@RachelA She goes up there herself. The first night just after I got in bed she jumped up on top of me but, I gave a commanding NO to that and pushed her off. She has a dog bed by my bed, but she came downstairs and spent the night in the same place she is in the photo.
