saluki mix rescue update
i feel like an update is due… about a month ago i came on here to ask for tips regarding rescuing a saluki mix. i got so many insightful and helpful replies which i am so thankful for, but also a few who made me reconsider it really hard. nonetheless i ended up still going through with the adoption (which ended up being very chaotic due to flight strikes and me having to do a 1.2km trip just to pick him up at the airport and get him home).
to be completely honest, the first few days, maybe a week was a bit of hell - i felt so lost and tired, nothing was going as i imagined it, some behavioural issues were coming up and most importantly my resident dog was not very fond (understatement) of the new addition to the family. they just kinda kicked my ass together. but i pushed through it and now after almost 4 weeks together i can confidently say - that was one of the best decisions in my life. both the dogs give me so much joy. i love our new pup with all of my heart and i can also see them getting along slowly. there’s still a lot of work ahead of us, but it’s absolutely worth it.
anyways - say hi to sameer!
