2/12/06: Maddie is a 5 year old spayed Golden who arrived home yesterday morning and met the thundering herd. Everyone did their sniffing and then went outside to do their "thing". She has been pretty low key, but is a dear. Shortly after she arrived we met with a family who adopted one of our other fosters and she was great with everyone, especially the children.

Today we all took a walk to the mailbox and the remaining three girls showed Maddie where it was and all had a good sniff. She is great, comes when called. She lead the way back to the house plowing through the deepest snow. Maddie slept through the night on the other dog bed in our room and our other Golden slept on Maddie's. Everyone seems to get along just fine.

Maddie was surrendered because of some personal issues with her family that caused Maddie to be separated from them for 3 months. Some separation anxiety has resulted and she has been destructive when left alone. We will see how being with other dogs affects this.

She is off to the vet, hopefully tomorrow, to be checked and chipped. More news when we get home from the vet.
