Gigi was not thrilled. She had the house to herself, and life was good. Then came Arya. A tiny foster puppy with big eyes and endless energy. Gigi kept her distance, watching from across the room. The whole dynamic had shifted. No more peaceful naps without interruption. No more guaranteed quiet. Gigi was not impressed.
The First Meeting
The introduction was careful. Slow and steady. Gigi sniffed the puppy, then backed away, staring. Arya, oblivious, bounced around with excitement. Gigi’s world had changed overnight, and she knew it. Her human reassured her, gave her space, and let her adjust. Still, Gigi remained skeptical. This was not what she had signed up for.
Adjusting to a New Normal
The days passed. Routine helped. Sit, stay, walk together. Sometimes they trained side by side, sometimes apart. Gigi watched Arya closely, learning her patterns. Arya followed Gigi, trying to win her over. Slowly, the tension eased. Small steps. No sudden breakthroughs, just tiny moments of understanding. Gigi tolerated Arya. That was progress.
A Breakthrough Moment
Then, something changed. Around week four, Gigi let Arya get close. One day, she placed her ball on Arya’s head. A test. Arya stayed still. Then Gigi licked Arya’s ear, a tiny sign of acceptance. Arya leaned in. The walls came down, little by little. It was the moment their human had been waiting for.
The Decision to Adopt
With that small act of trust, the decision became clear. Arya had found her home. No more fostering. No more temporary stays. She belonged now. Gigi still had her moments of disapproval, but something had shifted. The bond had formed. They were a family. A stubborn pittie and her once-annoying, now beloved, little sister.
A Perfect Fit
Not every foster story ends in adoption, but this one did. Gigi had learned to share her world, and Arya had found hers. Two pitties, different as they were, proving that patience and time can build something strong. Gigi may not have been impressed at first, but in the end, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
