Welp it's now official. I gave up looking for the right home and decided she'll just stay here. It's the one year anniversary of her arrival here; including the six or so months she spent in a prior foster, this kid has spent more time as a foster dog than as someone's pet. She deserves better than that.
I've always given my dogs new names, typically when they first get here, but never renamed her due to the circumstances around her arrival (and because she wasn't a dog I planned on having stick around lol). About a month ago I started shopping around for a fitting new name as all signs pointed to the right adopter never coming along for her. Today I reintroduce the pupper formerly known as Ellie: Detta!
She's a forspecial little s**t, but a welcome addition to my little ka-tet. I look forward to continuing to work with her: hoping to earn her GRC SR1 title next year, and to continue building up her trail manners with more backpacking and hiking trips. Maybe we'll explore dock diving some more, maybe I'll finally find an excuse to get into herding/treibball; we'll see what the future holds for us further along the path πΉ
