Day 1 Welcome Lumen

Today Mom came home from work with a new foster dog!  Her name is Lumen...formerly known as Silver, but Mom didn't think that it suited her.  Lumen is a Weimaraner and will be 1 year old this month. 

Weimaraners have the most incredible eyes.  Lumen's eyes are a yellow, gold color and seem to light up from within; so Lumen seemed like a good name. 










Lumen traveled from the Northwest Territories to Calgary on the weekend.  Today she was spayed and vaccinated.  Lumen is handling the changes pretty well, but is still a bit nervous.  When Mom picked her up she was very timid and wanted nothing to do with her.  It's only been a few hours but Lumen has already warmed up to Mom quite a bit.  She frequently comes to her for some head scratches.  As soon as Mom starts to scratch her head her eyes close and she starts to fall asleep...and sway back and forth.  Lumen is so tired she can hardly stand up, but she just won't relax and have a nap.

Lumen has been helping me monitor the neighbourhood.  As you can see she is very thin and needs to put on a few pounds.  I have some really good treats that I'm going to share with Lumen.  Maybe she even knows some tricks!
