The most recent addition to our fur family was SHELLY, a rescued 8 year old Golden Retreiver, that was adopted in late June. She is a great match for our family, but she has not been interested in buddying up with the pugs. Her socializing with them has been a top priority effort for me. They are used to having a golden around. Up until mid December of 09, we had Tela. She had been with us since she was six weeks old and 14 1/2 years later she left us after suffering a stroke. She was a sleeping buddy to Belle, our oldest pug and a momma to Toby and Polly. Last night, we had a first, Shelly hopped on the sofa and Belle followed her, via her steps, and they laid side by side. I grabbed the camera and with a little work got a great picture. I know now that Shelly is learning what family is all about.
