Hi, Gigi! It's been a while since I was on social media, and I saw your new(?) puppy on twitter (adorable!!! sweet little angel!!!), so I was wondering if you talked about her here already and I missed it. Can you talk about how you decided to get her, or just her in general? (Or point me to a post? sorry to bother you, have a great day!)
i haven’t talked about her much on tumblr, no, i don’t post as much of my life here as i used to. she’s wonderful, though. her name is Maru, she’s 9 weeks old and a rough collie shaded sable. her litter were a bit sick, she needed surgery on her eye, but all of that is done now and she’s in good health and very energetic. super excited to be home with her big brother, who she hassles relentlessly (he secretly loves it)
my Nan & Pop raised collies so having collies around was always the goal for me, i guess? it just feels like home. and i really wanted Solo to have someone his speed who he can play with and be with on the days when i’m bedridden. he keeps me company when i’m sick, but gets terribly bored, and having companionship in a dog his own size is going to be great for him.
despite the toilet training woes and repeated middle of the night wakeups, it really has felt like we’re a real family since she got home. i’m never going to get to have kids, so these guys are it for me, and they’re just the right amount of chaos needed right now.
