The new fosters arrived yesterday morning and they are both settling in well. Adeline is more secure than River. They both shake at times and they are easily startled. We set up an area for them with 2 crates surrounded by a good sized area where they can feel more secure. For the first day neither one would go into the crates to nap on the soft bedding, but rather lay on the bare floor. I did try a dog bed in the crate and Adeline got her front feet in while trying to play with Zoey, but they seem to prefer the floor.
We have been outside a few times and River is not ready yet to explore and just sits down until we go in. Adeline has moved around the yard checking things out. We are working on the 3 steps up to the deck with her and she came down the dog strairs to get off the couch today. Baby steps, but they are both doing well.
We are trying to determine if they are bonded. They apparently were from the same litter, but we don't know how much contact they have had during their breeding years. If they appear to be bonded they will be adopted together, if not they can go to separate homes.
Both dogs seem to have a sweet personality so far!
