Dear Maddy,
My family just adopted me. Can you give me tips on fitting in?

Dear Spot: The first thing you should remember is your new family is as nervous and excited about you, as you are about them. One thing that may happen is your new family will take you to training. If you’re trained, don’t let on just how much. This not only gives you a little reprieve but gives your family pride in what they “taught” you. Another thing that helps me is I bring whatever I can to my family members when they come near me. I’ve even been known to retrieve dust bunnies for my family.
