I'll be glad for the "settling" stage. She has soooo much energy, it's tough. Every day she gets a 20 - 30 minute walk, plus a 10 - 15 minute walk from my daughter. Most days she also gets to run off leash somewhere for at least 20 minutes and this is still not enough. She comes in the house from a nice walk and grabs her rope.

She's still afraid of the cat and I don't know what to do about that. She hides whenever the cat is inside. The cat makes a point of intimidating her whenever he sees her (prompting her hiding) and I don't know what to do about that either. I wish there was a Cesar Milan for how to deal with cats!

My husband was out of town earlier in the week, though, and she was very depressed. Hardly left her bed at all.

Otherwise, she's a great addition to our family.
