One last note from Nanka

Dear Mom and Dad,
I don't know how to break this to you, but I almost like it here. I was friendly to others yesterday when we walked, and I LOVE being outside.....way better than being stuck in this house with the other two dogs because of the rain. I have spent a lot of my time here sitting by the fence and watching the road and waiting for your car. When I got tired of waiting I sat a lot with the Oma because she is my friend. I played with Uben for about 10 seconds yesterday and this seemed to make him happy. I still don't like it when the other dogs get close to me in the house, but really they are nice and I only had 2 small fights while I was here...but I had to let them know not to get close to me. I showed my teeth a lot and this seemed to make them stay back. I learned to enjoy the walking around here, and I don't try to stop and rush back to the house anymore. Susan said I was a lot like a horse that wants to run back to the barn, so I thought I better try to cooperate so she would quit calling me a horse. I will still be happiest when you come back to pick me up, but in the end I decided after about 5 days that my depression was not really helping anything and I made the best out of a bad situation.
Love,
Nanka
P.S. The people here like me even though I don't like them hmmph.
P.S. Again.....Bernd said this morning that I had earned his trust and I got to run in the fields with the others.....and I stayed right with him when he started running. This was THE most fun that I've had since I've been here.
