Dooley remembers his first Durham day

Seeing Pepper on the pack walk and seeing her human, reminded me of my first day in Durham.  I was a little scared and very excited.  I was taken in a car from Jacksonville, NC up to a road side stop where I first met my human, Muir.  She had Pepper’s human, Nancy, with her.  We all got in Muir’s car and drove to Durham.  I got out with Nancy and a little while later Muir came back with my now brothers Emerson and Angus.  For a little while I stayed in a gated area in Muir’s livingroom until Emerson, Angus and I got used to one another.  That was after Muir gave me a bath, because I didn’t smell very good at first.  I’m much better now.  Here’s a picture of me in my gated area before we all got used to one another.
