Neah's New Life

Neah, now known as Poppy, was adopted about a week ago but since her new parents were dogsitting for a friend we all thought the easiest adjustment would be to wait until that dog left before she came home. Well, the time has come and she's going to her new home today.

We're all definitely going to miss this sweet girl but I think Langley is going to miss her most of all. She has been so wonderful for him - providing him with the exercise of lots of wrestling, but also confident enough to let him know when she doesn't appreciate his rudeness, and tough enough that she isn't afraid of his rough play. She's one of those amazing dogs who has great social skills and can match her play to whatever dog she's with. She respected old Tilly when Tilly said she didn't want to play (with typical Tilly grumbling) and she knows to play much more gently with 6 pound puppy Apple than she does with 18 pound wild man, Langley. She reminds me of a young version of Fern - another amazing dog that I fostered - and I'm sure she is going to mature into as spectacular a girl as Fern is.

She'll be living in Portland, Oregon and will share her parents and house with her brother, a terrier mix named Atticus.  There will be lots of hiking and walks and play time and we know she is going to have a fabulous life. So congratulations sweet furry one. We will miss you but you are going to have a fabulous life with  your new family. We can't wait for pictures and updates.
