She's here, my girl is here Sleeping, all curled up against my leg as we speak
This morning around 11.15 she arrived with her fosterparents and 3 other dogs, 2 of their own and another foster that will go to his forever home this Sunday.

After coffee and something to eat (while the dogs were playing in my backyard) we went to the doggyplayground. Quincy had no problem blending in with all the other, to her unknown, dogs. She ran and played, big dogs, small dogs, didn't matter, she was having fun

After about 30 minutes, we returned to my home and after some more coffee, it was time for her fosters to say goodbye...
This was very hard on Quincy (being "shepard-like" she is very very loyal to her pack and wants to be with them) and for the first hour, after they left, she lay in front of the door and cried. Whenever I sat down, she cried...whenever I did a small chore, she came looking what it was I was doing. So for the nect hour I did all sorts of tasks, mostly unneccesary ones I ignored the whimpering and talked to her and petted her when she came looking what I was doing After an hour I went to lay on my bed, Quincy followed me and started whimpering in front of the door into the backyard. I started sinnging a song (to myself) and Quincy came looking what I was doing. She stood on the floor, looking up at me on the bed, and I said: It's okay, come here..." and voila, she jumped on the bed, laid down and fell asleep

After a 2 hour nap, she woke up and we then played some in the backyard. She was happy and having fun We went for a little walk, she ate and fell asleep again.

We now jusr returned from our last walk of today and Quincy is laying beside me, sound asleep. It's now 9 in the evening and around 11, I will wake her up and take her for a quick pee and then we will turn in for the night

I have started a website for Quincy and of course it is all in Dutch. But it does have a video (with pictures) shpwing how today went

Awww, she looks like she is having a lot of fun. I am sure once she settles in, determines that This is her pack and you her leader that she will be fine.

It's a grande journey that you are beginning and may it be a long one.
