Coris 07-478 [1]

Coris arrived safely in Minneapolis Sunday evening after a long ride up from Missouri. She and 4 other GR's were bought at a puppy mill auction by a rescue organization and handed over to RAGOM. Coris is a beautiful female 6 yo red Golden whose days as a breeder will be ending tomorrow when she will be spayed. Hurray for Coris!
 
Coris is settling in and here's what I know so far: she LOVES human attention, comes for pets and puts her head in my lap. She knows the sit command and responds to "back' when she gets too close. She handled her bath like a pro, is crate trained and has been exploring the house. Coris is not too fond of my resident RAGOM Golden's yet and they are giving her space. She was grumpy at their initial greeting last night but who wouldn't be after such a long trip? Today the growling has much diminished although she won't play with resident Skye no matter how much he play bows! She does like to fetch a ball or rope though (see photo)
 
Coris got a clean bill of health at the vet today--even her ears were clean. She is a big girl weighing in at 80 pounds which the vet said was at the top of the range but OK. Hopefully, with better food and a little exercise she'll trim down a couple. More later as I get to know her better.
