baykinz Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Edison ('Edie') is a 9 month old ACD cross who was a stray before finding her way to an RSPCA shelter. We adopted her as a friend to my terribly lonely Tenterfield Terrier, Tesla, after he had to say goodbye to his previous doggy friend. These are some pictures from her first day with us. The shelter staff told us she lived outside at her foster home and hasn't been toilet trained, but she definitely knows to go outside to toilet (can't use the dog door, though), so she must have been trained a little before she became a stray. In general she seems happy-go-lucky, but she's deathly afraid of cars and mowers. I didn't get many photos of the two together, as Tesla's still being quite reserved with her. Edie, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to follow him everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weasels Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Fantastic photos and lovely subjects :) I just hope you haven't jinxed them with the names given how well the human Tesla and Edison got along! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Gorgeous dogs and fantastic photos. I'm sure they will become firm friends in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baykinz Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thank you! They seem to be getting along a lot better than their namesakes so far, but I suppose they couldn't really get on any worse XD Here are just a couple of photos from today. Investigating a bug together. Eating their bones. As Tesla eats dinner in his crate, this was my first chance to see if Edie would have any issues with food and other dogs, and fortunately it all went well. This is a lot closer than Tesla ever got to his other doggy friend when they had treats, so he's definitely gaining confidence around her. Edie can chew up her bone a little bit faster than Tesla, but not by much. He has jaws of steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda K Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 great name choice. Great photos too. as for the names themselves, well guess they got along as well as Steve & Bill (Job & Gates - shame what happened to Nikola both by Edison & the entire Edison family afterwards, even to the extent of threatening the Smithsonian even after US courts recognised Tesla's patents over Edisons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the Rebel Wolf Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Oh my goodness Eddie is DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! Just look at that face, I am totally in love. Also the names... too awesome! Curiosity question: Does Eddie have a normal sounding bark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
