Sorry, but the only response I can give after that is:

Who’s the big sweetie? Oh Yes you are… yes you are…

The proceeding was directed to Quinn and not **StGermain** just to be clear.

I’m very happy she has found a great home with a friendly pack.

Not to nag, but I’d definitely recommend a bath with very gentle soap, and maybe the same for her bed - even new material can have harsh dyes and perfumes and sizing and other chemicals.

And lots of snuggles.

The previous owner had just bathed her with Burt’s Bees oatmeal dog shampoo for sensitive skin, and she sleeps with me on my well-washed percale sheets.
