Well, after a whirlwind trip from Illinois to Georgia and back in 2 days, our pup is home! She's actually been home since Saturday, but I've been busy so I'm finally posting about it today.
Kaia is a sweet, goofy, bundle of energy, as one would expect from a 5 month old pup. She's adjusting to her new home very well and is doing fantastic with my 2 older kids (5yo and 7yo). Her interaction with the toddler (1yo) has been limited, as has her interaction with the cats. That last one is mostly their doing, not ours.
We're working on learning her cues for needing to go outside, with only 2 accidents so far. She's a vocal little thing and it's hard to tell if she needs to go out, wants to play, wants attention, or just wants to hear her own voice, lol.
We're also waiting for her appetite to fully return. She eats, but not nearly what she was before coming home with us. If we hand feed her, we can get her to eat a little bit more, but it's still not where she should be.
Here are a couple of pictures of her playing in the back yard near the chickens.
