I didn't pay attention at the shelter to what she ate, (Yvette would know), but know from dogs I have adopted and fostered that they often didn't eat much the first few days then seem to settle in. I hold out with the kibble I feed and don't offer too many choices, they get training treats but as long as they are active and drinking I don't worry. It amazes me that a lot of the dogs settle as quickly as they do, when you consider many of them have never been in a town, never mind a city, can go for days without seeing more than two or three people, are exposed to very little traffic and are used to playing and interacting all day with a constantly changing group of dogs. Huge changes! Love the picture of Bonnie Lassie looking at herself in the mirror, reminds me of Kitsa in the winter looking, and barking, at her reflection in the big window in the living room. Hope this helps. Lorna Lisa,
