Welcome, Indee!

My parents are moving to Shanghai next week for my dad's job, so Wayne and I have adopted Indee! We drove her up from Fremont on Sunday, which I was really worried about, because Indee does NOT do well on car rides. But thankfully, she didn't throw up and actually seemed fairly calm.

Though still adjusting, Indee is doing really well. She's old (13!) and has old lady characteristics... like she's starting to grow warts in random places (which is common for dogs), her hair has grown nappy, she smells funny, moves very slowly, and she sleeps a lot. She's already had a couple of accidents inside the house, which I attribute more to the fact that my parents had a doggy door at their house, so Indee was able to let herself in and out, and consequently has fallen out of the habit of letting us know when she needs to go to the bathroom. She also has a tendency to walk out if we leave the door open, which reminds me of how little old ladies may wander off if left unattended in their convalescent homes.

But I love her. And I'm glad to be able to take care of her in her old age, just as I did when she was a pup.

And she's already making herself at home, taking over Lucy's bed. :)
