Smooth Move!

We have swapped the life of running around wherever one wants, rolling in cow pats and having mud baths for one of leash walks, dog friendly parks and carrying ones poop around in plastic bags...Although these two worlds are miles apart, I think we have made quite a good transition (and we've only been here for two days).

We unpacked, Salvador gathered
bubble wrap...

Salvador came with me and the first load of furniture to the new place and had to stay in his new garden for a good bit of the day while things were being moved in and out. The previous owners had dogs so he kept himself occupied with the new smells and sounds of suburban living.
He never really showed any signs of stress and was happy to just potter around behind me wherever I went. He slept well too, only barking every now and then at some night noises.

This morning we visited one of the many dog friendly parks in the area and although this is not well fenced off, he stayed where he could see me, UNTIL a girl friend came along and it was friendship at first sight!
She was tall and lanky and fast, so many races were run, but eventually we had to come back home to unpack.

Earlier, before it became dark, we attempted going to the park again, but it started raining half way there and we came back just as the neighbors arrived home. They insisted having a meet-and-great with Salvador and their two Dachshund girls. This didn't go too well with their one very fierce and protective girl, but we managed to keep it civil and we think in time, after a few walks together, we might have a nice friend next door!

P.S. The internet connection at our new house is currently hovering somewhere between terrible and non-existent so therefor there might be less news till it's sorted out...
