The Dog we are adopting...

[Damocles]

She's a 1 year old German Shepherd.

Her name is Nyla.

So far we don't know too much about her, she's sweet and energetic, not aggressive and not shy. She likes other dogs, but she has yet to meet our cat.

I don't know when we'll be able to take her home, but the family is very excited..

Does she eat liberals?

 

[Thorn]

She's lovely, Damo, congratulations! Will you take her for basic Household training? I've found that it really helps to establish a bond between dog and human.

 

[Damocles]

Does she eat liberals?

Come on over, we'll ask.

 

[Thorn]

Do you already have a female (canine) at home? You might run into some dominance situations that will have to be resolved. Patience and kindness (and the right approach) nearly always work.

We have two, but they are both passive dogs who roll over when introduced to any other dog. I don't foresee much issue with them, but if there is we'll work our way through them. We have much patience or we'd have given up on the Mouth...

Excellent pointy ears.

However, i can't help noticing that the little lady is missing a rather important item.

I hope you will be remedying that situation with considerable haste.

A parasol? What? i don't get it, but I want to!

 

[Damocles]

Well, unfortunately we'll have to wait until she gets home to fit her with a new chapeau...

What a lovely dog!

Nyla must be a french name, thus, it needs a hat? am I close?

Good on you adopting Damo..I love German Shepherds..she looks like she will be a great addition to your family..

 

[Lao Tse]

Does that type of dog commonly wear a hat?

Good luck with the cat relationship. I adopted my dog 7 years ago and we still have to keep them separated otherwise they'll fight like- well, you know.

Currently our cat and dogs get along well. I hope that will continue.

Yeah, we're really very excited. She's such a good-looking GSD and has the right temperament for our family.

When we got the dog my vet said that in a few months they'd get along well- he was wrong. These two truly hate each other.

Just remember, Sheps tend to be very territorial. There great with immeadiate family but can be aggresive towards friends and other visitors. That's one thing I loved about my lab. He had outstanding judgement. If a strager showed up at my door and my Lab was cool with it inevitably they were ok but if he was aggresive towards them he was always in the right.

Always remember to adopt a dog that can help the government do its job.
