Well, does this picture answer the question? Actually, as of this Sunday morning, Dolly has begun to integrate herself into the pack and right now she’s mingling with Josephine and Zelda (who are still wary of her, not surprisingly, as Zelda is sporting a small scar on her jowl as a result of Dolly’s last meltdown). She’s doing zoomies in the back yard and acting like a … dog! Zelda is still trying relentlessly to befriend her and I’m optimistic again that this is going to work. It IS going to work! But every once in a while, Dolly reacts to a loud noise and her eyes widen and her ears slick back and she looks terrified. Well, she’s a work in progress (aren’t we all).
And I’m back from Jamaica! It was a beautiful trip as usual, even though my luggage materialized in Ocho Rios a day after I did. The weather was gorgeous and it was a much needed respite. If I could figure out a way to live there, I would.
