cock(er) it and pull it


Last night we welcomed Trudy into our home! Well, I welcomed Trudy. Cassie isn't really on board yet. Trudy comes from Oldies But Goodies Cocker Spaniel Rescue and until last night had spent the week out in West Virginia with a foster family.

Cassie has been evaluating the situation from inside my box spring. She created this hideaway years ago for just these types of situations. Smart girl.

Things to know about Trudy:
  • She only has 1 eye. She lost the other in a "traumatic event."

  • Her remaining eye is blind from progressive retinal atrophy.

Things to know about Cassie:

  • Her front paws have been declawed (not by me).

  • The large majority of her teeth have recently been removed due to severe dental disease (that was me).

  • She's 9 lbs on a fat day.

  • She's scared of everything.

Can these two learn to live together? Will Cassie start to understand that Trudy can't see her and come out to join the family again? Will there be a stand off? I'll keep you posted.


Oh, here's Trudy:

Love the blog and can't wait to follow the adventures of Trudy and Cassie. Most importantly, I love your pillow case cover!
