It takes awhile for a pup to adjust to being in a new home. Speak softly to her and coax her with tidbits and treats; try rolling a ball around on the floor in front of her, just out of her reach, or scooting a soft toy along the floor. You want her to come to you.

The easiest way to post pictures is in the members' galleries. If you'll go to the top of the page and click where it says "Dog Pictures" it will take you there.

What have you named your new baby?

Congrats on getting Duke! I'm looking forward to a picture! He's a young boy right now so just have patience. Soon he will be running around so much that you will wonder what happened to that quiet little boy you once knew.

Oh, how exciting. Congrats on your new pup. He does sound a little shy, but maybe that's just because he's feeling out of place, being in a new house. He'll come around. It sounds like he already is a little. Renee's advice, I agree with....nice and easy is the word.

Can't wait for some pictures. I bet he's cute.
