She has been a very welcome addition to our pack. She is now house-trained (took a little under a month - shortest of any of my dogs...ever!) and she can sit on command. We have resolved the issue with her dinner time craziness and she now sits and stays until she gets the "release" command from us.
She has a favorite chair in the house and can now jump up into it on her own. She used to have to whimper until we put her in it. She is also able to sleep outside her kennel at night. She's made a lot of progress over the last week or so. It's quite amazing.
She also appears to have grown a winter coat and no longer shivers in the cold - even without her jacket. She's also piling on the pounds and is up to about 17 pounds (from 11 when we brought her home on 11/30).
Luna did get in trouble the other day. She broke into the cat food container and helped herself to a large serving! I didn't actually catch her in the act but did notice quite a full belly on her when I came home that day and let her out of her kennel. At first, I was very worried because her belly was so huge! But her behavior was completely normal. She wasn't lethargic and was playing like she normally does. I kept an eye on her and while she did have to go outside much more than normal, she was fine within about 24 hours.
Here are some recent pictures of Ms. Luna. She's a very sweet dog (although, I'm not sure her brothers think so!) and loves to cuddle.
