Lady, the lovely and gigantic German Shepherd girl, passed on over the weekend. It didn't come as a surprise - she was an ancient girl - but we miss her terribly. Although I'm convinced she's now haunting us -
Eg, she had become not completely incontinent (she still did her outdoor duties when she remembered), but close, and yesterday, I came home and saw a doggie poop where she last lay - I could even smell it! So I went and gathered up my doggie poop cleaning up materials ... and I came back ... and the poop was gone! 
In any case, Yogi is just devastated, but there is a lovely little coonhound mix named Bailey at the vet's which I will be adopting, come Friday. She's a lovely girl, albeit small. The vet says she's part red bone, which, yes, she certainly looks like. But she's something else - something small.
I've introed her and Yogi, and she loves Yogi, and Yogi didn't *hate* her. She's an extremely pleasant girl and would make a wonderful hostess, as she has the "Well! I'm so pleased to meet you! Won't you have a seat?" thing down pat.
But it's been so long since I've brought a new pup home that I don't remember how to go about it. Biscuit and Yogi already knew Lady when I adopted her, and it's been 10 years since I adopted Yogi. !.
She's 9 months, so has some seasoning already. And I'm bringing her home Friday so I can spend the weekend with them while they get acquainted.
Hints? Tricks? Etc.?
