Welcome Miss Lista

We finally had an opportunity to fully meet with 20 mon. old Lista. We have been waiting for her spay before we could look at daycare dates. She has fully healed from her spay and Oct 20 was her M&G date. 
We first met Lista at her home last year on July 2022.

 Lista has also visited us prior to her spay for a short say ‘hello’ in Nov. last year. There has been little change in Lista since last year. She’s just as lovely and well behaved as she was a year ago. Little Suzy Q was visiting us on her M&G day. The two have met previously due to training sessions. Although Lista was ready to play a bit, Suzy really wanted no part of that.  Suzy is not big on playing much, she's social but cool. 
That was okay with Lista, she was quite interested in checking out all the toys.

Lista - "How come none of them squeak?"

That's because all the old squeakies have been chewed apart sweetheart. I think it's time to bring out some new ones! Lista took the brand new squeakie I handed her with glee. Like many others Lista's mom and dad would prefer Lista doesn't bring stuffies home. This one will go on hold for Lista's visits, like a few other dog's toys. She'll learn to share it with everyone, the same as all the others have.

Lista played happily until it was time to head out. It was very obvious this would be her favourite toy.
I wonder how long it'll last?
Bailey happened to be visiting the day after Lista and I presented Lista's new toy to him. He had a great time just sniffing it and taking in the new dog smells on it.  I gently replaced it with another when he began to settle in to have a bit of squeakie chew time with it. Now it will smell like Bailey as well. I believe that might help Lista when meeting Bailey day haps along.

Lista will be here for her free 4 hour visit with us on Nov. 11th. As it turns out that’s exactly 1 year from when we originally met Lista. As a good friend of mine used to say. “How cool is that?”

Lista will join into the group of our pack that have a high prey drive. We'll be ever vigilant when allowing her outdoors. I'll be watching the yard for deer (and cats) before she is turned loose to play in the yard.
Thank you, mom and dad, Vivian and Ian for your patience in the wait to have Lista's M&G.
She'll now become one of our Royal extended pack. 
Welcome to almost 2 yr. old, sweet girl Lista!
