We picked up Lacey at the Delta Cargo center at San Francisco International Airport this afternoon. Happily her flight from Atlanta was an hour early due to favorable winds.
When the cargo handler brought her travel case we could hardly believe our eyes -- what a sweet, sweet girl!
We slipped her collar on with her new name. She made no protest and seemed to say "Thank you, I was waiting for that." She showed no timidity or fright. She was pleased to be with us, licking and exploring. About half the drive home she was alert and active, the other half happily dozing.
Its just been a few hours, but she seems to be quite at home. She made a beeline for the tassles on the Christmas Tree skirt and heard her first series of "no".
Starting over with a new puppy after so many years, one has to marvel at how it is that she will come to know her name. What is it exactly that will trigger her self identity with the sound "lay-see"? But she will.
