I hope the people who follow Sunanda's blog, will not mind me writing in english from now on. First of all more people will be able to read it when it is in english. And second of all, it will be easier for me to write updates, since I do not have to ask somebody else to translate it into german for me.
And I felt it was time for a new picture at the top. The old one was taken one day after Sunanda's arrival, and she looks so skinny that it reminds me a bit too much of her past. Sunanda has changed so much over the past 4 weeks, that she hardly bears any resemblance to that skinny and scared little hound anymore.
I find it very difficult to believe that it has only been 4 weeks since she arrived in our home. In the first 3 weeks, she gained approximately 6kg bodyweight, mostly muscle I have to say. So she is jokingly called miss "fat bottom" in our home.
I could let her run off the lead after only 5 days, and now she sings loudly from sheer joy when I take her lead to go for a walk. Her fears slowly fade away with each day and she is beginning to show her true self, which is a rather boisterous and energetic young female, a bit insecure at times in new situations, but very curious and inquisitive at the same time.
She is extremely affectionate, has a very good recall, but also a strong mind of her own, which makes for an interesting combination. Sometimes she has to make "difficult" decisions. She clearly wants to do something else than I ask her to do, so she has to chose between obeying me and doing her own thing. So far, she chose me every time, but sometimes it does take a little while before she reaches that decision.
I have also taken some swabs from Sunanda, so she could donate some of her precious DNA to scientific research. I am very curious what the results will be. But as soon as I know, I will post them here of course.
And we had a lovely "Grillfest" last weekend with all the people who joined in on the search for Sunanda. It was so nice to meet all these people in a very relaxed and happy atmosphere. Sunanda showed them how happy she was and played with the other dogs. I just feel a lot of gratitude toward all these people. If it wasn't for them, who knows what would have happened to Sunanda. Thank you all for your dedication, your time, your positive thoughts, and all the things you did to get Sunanda back safe and sound.
Here you can see some pictures taken at this "Grillfest":
I just love Sunanda more with each and every day. She is a very special girl indeed.
