A two [lurcher] seater sofa! This does illustrate Zia's size (15.5 kg) relative to Harpo (25.5 kg). She should hopefully fill out a kilo or two over the next few weeks.

It's nice to see them on the sofa together.

What the picture does not capture is that Zia is sound asleep, with puffa fish cheeks and twitchy paws. And that her twitching front right paw is on Harpo's behind! He did not move, either asleep or more likely greyhound inertia. With recent scandals I did wonder if Harpo might have a claim against SLR for groping!? Don't worry Jenny as a canine he does not have a legal leg to stand on even if he was able to articulate his case!! LOL

After four days Zia continues to settle in. She is such a good house guest. Clean, waiting quietly while I prepare food (although still gobbling it as soon as permitted) and starting to go into the crate of her own accord. I could have done without her rolling in something smelly on our afternoon walk but on the plus side she stands quietly while being cleaned up. As yet she has not shown much interest in the squirrels on our walks or in the garden? Early days though and Harpo may yet lead her astray! I managed to take a photo of Zia roaching on the raised bed tonight, with Harpo's paws hanging over the side of the sofa in between. She has charmed the neighbours with her sweet friendliness, although we need to work on her not jumping up at everyone who stops to say hello.

It says the link is unavailable Thanks Christine. I have had a tinker with the YouTube upload and hopefully the problem is solved? Then again I have not yet figured out how to post photos in a size other than teeny! Please can whoever tries the new link let me know if it works. Ta.

It is one week today that Zia moved in with Harpo and I. Here are some of the things that we have learnt about Zia in that time. Sweet and affectionate, loves to cuddle and lean Loves humans especially the small ones Loves to play with and chase her dog friends Has the softest coat but likes to get it dirty or worse! Is calm under fire (unfazed by fireworks, traffic, household appliance and loud noises generally) Likes to roach on the raised bed but is not very good at it and sometimes falls off! Is food obsessed (with regular meals and training this might pass) Was brave and happy at the vets Happy one week anniversary Zia. Love Sarah and Harpo xxx

Great update Sarah. I can't believe a week has gone by without her already. She looks so settled with you and I'm really pleased to see Harpo entertaining her because Gem was a pretty poor host!!
