Hobo just showed up here one morning. She was very shy and nervous. After being here for a couple of weeks she was treated to the "newcomers" protocol. This involves immunizations and, in her case, spaying. She continues to be a little shy but is one of the sweetest dogs ever. She is getting over her fear of "machinery" and is now my "work" dog. She goes with me on the feeding rounds and while waiting for tanks and wallows to fill we spend special time together.
