Bob and I have had a few quiet days getting settled in Boiling Springs, North Carolina partly due to weather and partly to help Cooper get used to us and his new situation. Cooper is a nervous dog who has had a lot of changes in his living situation over the past two years, so we have taken turns leaving the house over the past few days so that he wouldn’t be alone while still adjusting to his mom being gone.
We feel like we’re bonding with him, and he’s a great little walker and sleeper. We walk him a couple times a day in the cul-de-sac neighborhood and have met a few of the other many dogs and their people. We also do a longer walk into town everyday. Tomorrow he is going for a playdate with the neighbor, and Bob and I are going to head to nearby Shelby to the public library and check out the town square.
— especially when it’s getting close to dinner time.
In terms of getting settled in ourselves, we’ve done our first grocery shop at the local Ingles grocery store down the street and visited and joined the YMCA.
